Working With Effective-Dated Data

When you work with effective-dated data, use some combination of the following methods:

• CurrentItem

• GetEffectiveItem

Both these methods return an item, however, there are some differences:

• The CurrentItem method takes no parameters, so it bases the item it returns on the current system date.

• The GetEffectiveItem method bases the item it returns on a user-provided date. They all perform the same logic, they just use a different date.

Note:

To show all history for an effective-dated collection, you must set GetHistoryItems to True before you populate the Component Interface.
