Hello, How to write DXL code to check whether we do have access to create and delete a link using DXL? Thank you Mayur Chaudhari - Fri Jan 12 09:18:58 EST 2018 |
Re: How to check whether we do have access to create and delete link using DXL? Hi Mayur,
I think you can use below function to determine if the user can delete the link:
bool canDelete(Link l)
if you wanna check if the user can create the link, the user must have modify access to the source object and read access to the target object of the link. So the function AccessRec get(...) should be the one you can use. You can refer to the dxl manual: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSYQBZ_9.6.1/com.ibm.doors.requirements.doc/topics/dxl_reference_manual.pdf. |

To create a link also the source module should be included in link module descriptors in the folder, if link module descriptors are in use "A folder or project can specify the link modules to be used when a link is created between a pair of modules, the source of which is in the folder. This source/target module pairing is called a link module descriptor, which is represented by the LinkModuleDescriptor data type. Note: To obtain a type LinkModuleDescriptor handle, you must use the for link module descriptor in folder loop. " |

" And in case no link exists yet between current module and destination module, it needs to be determined if the link module exists, if it already has a corresponding link set object, if not, whether the user has modify access to the link module......
Mayur, Perhaps it is the easiest if you just try to create the link and afterwards see whether the link exists... |
