%iKnow.Filters.SimpleMetadataFilter

class %iKnow.Filters.SimpleMetadataFilter extends %iKnow.Filters.Filter

Filter implementation selecting sources based on their metadata values, as set through %iKnow.Queries.MetadataAPI.

Filter parameters:

  1. domainId As %Integer
  2. fieldName As %String - the name of the metadata field to filter by.
  3. filterOperator As %String - the operator to use for filtering (should be a supported one for this metadata field).
  4. filterValue - the value to compare the actual source metadata values against.

Methods (Including Private)

private method %OnNew(domainId As %Integer, fieldName As %String, filterOperator As %String, filterValue As %String = "") as %Status [ Language = objectscript ]
Inherited description: This callback method is invoked by the %New() method to provide notification that a new instance of an object is being created.

If this method returns an error then the object will not be created.

It is passed the arguments provided in the %New call. When customizing this method, override the arguments with whatever variables and types you expect to receive from %New(). For example, if you're going to call %New, passing 2 arguments, %OnNew's signature could be:

Method %OnNew(dob as %Date = "", name as %Name = "") as %Status If instead of returning a %Status code this returns an oref and this oref is a subclass of the current class then this oref will be the one returned to the caller of %New method.

private method BuildSourceFilter(maxOffset As %Integer) as %Status [ Language = objectscript ]
Inherited description:

This is the primary method that needs to be implemented by an actual %iKnow.Filters.Filter subclass to translate the abstract filter criteria the subclass addresses into a bitstring based on Source IDs. The subclass' implementation of this method should use SetSourceBits() for this purpose, setting the requested bitstrings for each offset up to maxOffset.

method ToString() as %String [ Language = objectscript ]
Inherited description:

Subclasses should implement this method to build a string representation of the filter instance. It should start with the filter class name, followed by a pipe (|) character and then a string representation that can be interpreted by its RestoreFilterFromStringInternal() implementation.
