Returns:

a reference manager giving all references to SourceDataStores

getReferenceManagerToSourceColumn

IReferenceManager getReferenceManagerToSourceColumn()

Returns an IReferenceManager instance that can be used to get SourceColumn references from cross-references in the interface.

Returns:

a reference manager giving references to SourceColumns

getLookupsManager

ReferenceManagerLookups getLookupsManager()

Returns an IReferenceManager instance that can be used to get lookup references (i.e. lookup Join to its attached lookup SourceDataStore and vice-versa).

Returns:

a reference manager that returns lookup references

getOdiInterface

OdiInterface getOdiInterface()

Returns the interface associated with this helper.

Returns:

the interface associated with this helper

getEntityManager

IOdiEntityManager getEntityManager()

Return the IOdiEntityManager instance that is used to control object persistence and synchronization for this helper.

Returns:

the entity manager used to persist this interface

getEntityManager()

getSourceSetNameProvider

ISourceSetNameProvider getSourceSetNameProvider()

Please refer to InteractiveInterfaceHelperWithActions.

Returns:

the ISourceSetNameProvider object that is used for generating source set names

See Also:

InteractiveInterfaceHelperWithActions.getSourceSetNameProvider()

getSourceSetCreator

ISourceSetCreator getSourceSetCreator()

Returns the current ISourceSetCreator interface instance object that is used to create the source sets.

Returns:

the ISourceSetCreator used to create source sets while computing source sets

getLanguageForTextHolder

com.sunopsis.language.SnpsLanguage getLanguageForTextHolder(IExecutableTextHolder pExecutableTextHolder)

Retrieves the language for a specified IExecutableTextHolder object. The text holder contains a particular interface object that uses a language, for example a join or filter object.

Parameters:

pExecutableTextHolder - The executable text holder

Returns:

The language in which this text holder should be computed

Throws:

InexistentMappingException - if one LogicalSchema mapping is missing for the current Context

removeTargetMapping

void removeTargetMapping(TargetMapping pMapping)

For internal use only Remove the specified target mapping.

Parameters:

pMapping - the target mapping to be removed

createTargetMapping

TargetMapping createTargetMapping(DataSet pDataSet,
                                  TargetColumn pColumn,

pColumn - the column of this new target mapping

pLocation - the execution location of this new target mapping

pText - the expression of this new target mapping

Returns:

the TargetMapping object for this new target mapping

getMissingRefsManager

com.sunopsis.versioning.SnpsMissingRefsManager getMissingRefsManager()

Returns the missing references manager for this helper. It contains all missing references for all objects of this interface.

Returns:

the SnpsMissingRefsManager object

computeExpression

Expression computeExpression(java.lang.String pSql,
                             IExecutableTextHolder pExecutableTextHolder,
                             OdiInterface.ExecutionLocation pExecutionLocation,
                             DataSet pDataSet)

Computes the expression of the SQL text.
Note that pDataSet is optional (can be null when pExecutionLocation is TARGET.
