Status_Recalc_Function

The system calls this function when a user modifies a Program, Business Area, or Data Mart. Although it is called the Status Recalculation function, the system automatically recalculates the installable status each time an object is modified, so you do not need to write a function for that purpose.

However, you can use this function to do anything your adapter requires when objects of your adapter type are modified.

Load Sets do not use the Status_Recalc_Function. The signature is different for Programs and Business Areas than it is for Data Marts. For Programs and Business Areas, the system invokes the function when the user checks the object in or out. For Data Marts the system invokes the function when it computes the status—when the user checks in the Data Mart.

Shipped Data Mart and Program adapters use a Status_Recalc_Function, including SAS Export, Oracle Export, and Text Export Data Mart adapters and BIP Program adapters.
