Validations Using Scripts

The Script validation class enables dynamic scripts to be used with validations. There are several different validation levels and some have different parameters. Following are the validation levels and parameters:

Table 12-2 Validation Levels and Parameters

Level	Parameter	Description
Any level	validation	Provides information about the validation currently executing
Hierarchy	hierarchy	HierarchyObject for the hierarchy being validated
GlobalNode	node	NodeObject for the global node being validated
Node	node	LocalNodeObject for the node being validated
Remove	node	NodeObject for the node being validated
Move	node	LocalNodeObject for the node being moved
	move	An object that contains information about the move: OldParent––LocalNodeObject for the original parent NewParent––LocalNodeObject for the destination parent IsPost/IsPre––Indicates whether this script is running just before the move or just after the move has been completed. The script will usually be run twice, once before the move and once after the move. Values––During the pre-move phase, simple key-value pairs can be stored in this object (for example, Values["key"] = "value"). During the post-move phase, these values are present, enabling you to store information about the pre-move state and compare it to the post-move state. All values are converted to String, Number, or Date objects. Complex objects are not currently supported.
Merge	node	The node being deleted or inactivated
	merge	An object that contains information about the merge: Target––NodeObject for the target of the merge IsInactivate––True if this is an inactivate operation IsDelete––True if this is a delete operation
Version	version	VersionObject for the version being validated
