ARDeleteActiveLink

Note

You can continue to use C APIs to customize your application, but C APIs are not enhanced to support new capabilities provided by Java APIs and REST APIs.

Description

Deletes the active link with the indicated name from the specified server and deletes any container references to the active link. The active link is deleted from the server immediately and is not returned to users who request information about active links. Because active links operate on clients, individual clients can continue using the active link until they reconnect to the form (thus reloading the form from the server).

Privileges

BMC Remedy AR System administrator.

int ARDeleteActiveLink(

  ARNameType name,
  unsigned int deleteOption,
  char *objectModificationLogLabel,
  ARStatusList *status)

Input arguments

control

The control record for the operation. It contains information about the user requesting the operation, where that operation is to be performed, and which session is used to perform it. The user and server fields are required.

If a valid overlay group is specified in the control record, the ARDelete* function operates on the object that belongs to that group. If no group is specified, the function operates on the origin object. To specify whether to use an object's real or resolved name in an operation and whether to perform the operation only on objects in a specified overlay group, use the AR_SESS_CONTROL_PROP_DESIGN_OVERLAYGROUP variable of the ARSetSessionConfiguration function (see ARGetSessionConfiguration).

name

The name of the active link to delete.

deleteOption

A bitmask that indicates the action to take.The [confluence_table-plus] macro is a standalone macro and it cannot be used inline. Click on this message for details.
This macro generates standalone content. As a consequence you need to make sure to use a syntax that separates your macro from the content before and after it so that it's on a line by itself. For example in XWiki Syntax 2.0+ this means having 2 newline characters (a.k.a line breaks) separating your macro from the content before and after it.

objectModificationLogLabel

The version control label that the API function must apply to the object. If the label name does not exist on the server, the function creates it.

Ripple actions

Rename and Delete operations typically change multiple objects in addition to their primary target object. The Rename or Delete function must apply the version control label to all the objects that it affects.

Multiple API calls for a single user action

Some user actions trigger a sequence of API calls. In that situation, the last API call in the sequence applies the version control label to the object. Thus, clients that create forms (like BMC Remedy Developer Studio does) should provide the label only to the last call. For example, when a form is created, a client might issue these calls:

ARCreateSchema
ARCreateMultipleFields
ARSetVUI
ARSetVUI
ARSetSchema

In this case, the objectModificationLogLabel value should be passed only to the last call, ARSetSchema, even though the user provides the label during the ARCreateSchema operation.

Operations on label-related forms

Version control labels cannot be applied to these forms:

AR System Version Control: Label
AR System Version Control: Labeled Object
AR System Version Control: Object Modification Log

Return values

status

A list of zero or more notes, warnings, or errors generated from a call to this function. For a description of all possible values, see Error-checking.
