How to programatically Reference VLF Business Object User Properties
Posted: Sat Sep 28, 2019 6:21 am
I am using VLF-One, and need to implement a custom security per https://docs.lansa.com/14/en/lansa048/c ... 7_0070.htm . The Security API I am calling will return a list of Index IDs which map to the Business Objects. I would like to setup a Custom Property in each Business Object called Index and store the matching Index ID in the custom Property value. I can use this method to retrieve a Custom Property at Business Object Level : #avFrameworkManager.avGetUserProperty Atlevel(B) Withname(INDEX) Numericvalue(#LISTENTRY) Requester(#COM_OWNER) since all the Custom Properties are named INDEX that I need to secure.
My questions are :
1) Can I limit the scope of the #avFrameworkManager.avGetUserProperty when working AtLevel(B) so it will return the User Property for a specific Business Object ?
2) If it cannot and I get a list of all user properties named INDEX for all the Business Objects that use it, how do I enumerate the properties so I can distinguish which Custom Property value matches which Business Object ?
3) Is there a better way to implement this custom security model. At the Command Handler level, I can store my index values in AlphaArg1 and AlphaArg2, but these properties are not available at Business Object level. I need something that I can reference programatically in the UF_OLOGON component. I prefer not to setup a table with Index ID matching the Business Object Name because the installation I am working at doesn't want to create a parallel security model. Their preference is to store the Index IDs in the Framework and cross-reference programatically
