Enterprise Communication Interface (ECI)
DFM and Quickload
Quickload
is an extension to Fileserver and ECI.
With the standard ECI, only one level of a document structure can be read
at once with the funciton eci_rea_rel, and needs to
be repeated for every structure level. Afterwards, you have to call the function
eci_cko_typ_fil for each found record to check out
the assigned files.
With Quickload this process got improved. By calling the ECI function eci_loa_cax,
the whole document structure with its file records are stored (flat) in two
temporary tables:
- T_CAX_STR_TMP
- T_CAX_FIL_TMP
To check out all corresponding files, you call the ECI function eci_cko_fil_lst.
The structure explosion for the document structure and files is done by a stored
procedure:
- "cax_structur_pkg.dfm_chk_loc"

Typical Sequence of ECI Functions
|
 |
CAX adapter calls eci_loa_cax to
load documents with quick load mechanism. |
| |
- In interactive mode the document type widget is opened and the user
can select a document record.
- From the context menu, choose
> .
This calls the userexit edb_usx with parameter
eci_sel_dfm_ret.
The LGV procedure "EP_DFM/DFM_SELECTION_CAD" is called for
each selected record.
In a DFM environment this LGV procedure asks if non-local
files should be replicated immediately, in batch mode, or to abort the
function.
Afterwards, for all records with local files, the function eci_sel_retis
is called.
If no records can be found with local files, the function eci_sel_abo
is called.
eci_sel_ret itself calls xfile_loa_cax_str
for each selected record which calls the stored procedure which fills
the temporary tables T_CAX_STR_TMP and T_CAX_FIL_TMP.
The ECI function returns the structure ID and other values which are
used to identify the entries in the temporary tables.
In batch mode, xfile_loa_cax_stris called
immediately for selected document record.
|
 |
If some files should not be checked out or should be checked
out with different name, CAX adapter calls eci_upd_cax_fil
to modfiy the records in T_CAX_FIL_TMP. |
 |
CAX adapter calls eci_cko_fil_lst
to checkout all files in file list. |
 |
If the entries are not needed any longer, they should be deleted
in the temporary tables by calling eci_del_cax_tmp.
|
|
As entries are stored in global temporary
tables, they will be deleted automatically when terminating the program. |
