PFExternalConnection Class

Gets or sets a value indicating whether a PFItemEvent should be created for the synchronized item on each synchronization.

Gets or sets a value indicating whether a synchronized item, no more found in the data source, should be deleted in Packflow. If False, the item will not be modified or deleted.

Gets or sets the application context. This context will be assigned to synchronized items.

Gets the application context GUID.

Gets the application context id.

Gets or sets the number of elements (rows, items) loaded by query to the data source.

Gets the previous values of modified fields before the latest Save.

Note: this feature is NOT persisted in the database and therefore only concerns this instance.

Gets the list of bindings between items fields and the source data.

Checks if the current permission context allows current user to delete this object.

Checks if the current permission context allows current user to access this object.

Checks if the current permission context allows current user to update this object.

Indicates if this object has been created and is still in database (positive Id).

Gets the date of creation of this object in the database.

Gets the user who created this object in the database.

Gets the data collection of this object.

Gets the date of the creation of this object in memory.

True if this object is flagged as deleted.

Date of the suppression of this object.

The user who deleted this object.

Gets or sets the description.

Gets or sets a value indicating whether this connection can be used to synchronize items.

Gets a value indicating whether versions can be merged to resolve save conflicts. If an object is saved with an older version than the last persisted (in database), the system will try to merge the versions values (if no conflicts between values) and will then save the merged item to database. Note : this setting is NOT persisted and will affect this object instance only.

Indicates if this object has been created, still exists in database and is not flagged for suppression.

Gets the frequency of automatic synchronizations.

Gets the GUID identifying this object. Must be used if Id is no more viable, example if content were merged.

Checks if there is pending changes. Will check if the values are different from the currently persisted values.

Checks if there is pending modifications in permissions. Will compute permissions (RUD) and check if there is differences with current persisted permissions.

Gets the id identifying this object. Must be used to find or identify an object because faster than Guid.

Gets or sets a value indicating whether the Save should keep a collection of the modified fields previous values.

Note: this feature is NOT persisted in the database and therefore only concerns this instance.

Gets the date of the last synchronization.

Gets or sets the location of the data source targeted by this connection.

Gets the logger, used to log any useful warning, error or information in the database.

Gets a technical text representing this object.

Gets or sets the name, text representing the connection.

Gets or sets the order number, used globally across all content-types to determine the order of synchronization.

Gets the parent application.

Gets the parent content-type.

Gets an object calculating permissions on demand.

Gets the permission set (RUD permissions) of this item.

Gets the schema of the data source, representing the source’s data definition on its last synchronization.

This object is used during the setup of a connection's binding to know which field can be bound with which external data.

Gets or sets a value indicating whether this connection should be synchronized a second time after a global synchronization. This allows to handle two inter-referenced content.

Gets the root of the persisted objects tree.

Gets or sets a value indicating whether required fields can be left empty when saving an item during a synchronization.

Gets or sets an object describing who can synchronize items from the UI (navigation and forms).

Gets or sets the type of targeted source targeted by this connection.

Gets the date of the last update of this object.

Gets the user who last updated this object in the database.

Gets the version number of this object in database. Incremented after each save.

Checks if the current user can synchronize the items from the UI (navigation and forms). This is based on the SynchronizationPermission value.

Flags this object as deleted.

If it fails, throws an error.

If the object could not be deleted because it does not yet exist in database, returns false.

If successful, returns true.

Runs a code with a transaction on object connection. If there is no current transaction and if the code succeed, transaction is committed. If an exception is thrown, transaction is rollback.

Applies the data of this object in the database.

Synchronizes the parent content with the external content targeted by this connection.

Returns a string that represents the current object.

Updates the Schema property using the current location.

Default size of the successive batches of external data imported in Packflow.

Casts an object to another type. Returns default(T) if the object is null.

Checks that this object is equal to every object in parameters.

Checks that this object is equal to at least one of the parameters.

Converts an object to String using ToString() method, else returns String.Empty.

Checks if this object is a System.Collections.Generic.List.
