Method Summary

java.lang.String

computeAliasForDataStore(IDataStore<?,?> pDataStore, DataSet pDataSet) Computes the alias name for a source or target data store.

Method Detail

computeAliasForDataStore

java.lang.String computeAliasForDataStore(IDataStore<?,?> pDataStore,
                                          DataSet pDataSet)

Computes the alias name for a source or target data store. Aliases are normally retrieved from the default alias of an OdiDataStore and their length should not exceed the length specified in SourceDataStore.ALIAS_MAX_LENGTH. Additionally, aliases should currently not contain spaces, dots or any separator in general, and should be uppercase in the English Locale.

Parameters:

pDataStore - the data store for which the alias is computed for

pDataSet - the data set that contains this data store

Returns:

the String that is the alias name
