SPEL API methods

update_object

This method allows to update multiple object attributes and atributes of related objects.

 

Definition:

update_object( uuid, string, object|nil, object|nil, int, ... ) ;

uuid - user id

string - persistent id of the object. Use this option only if you are runing from bop_cmd or POST_CI trigger, otherwise you will lock your object.

object|nil - reference object may be used instead of persistent id of the object. If this parameter is passed to the method - system will try to do checkin inside of the method and will return an error if no group_leader was passed. Do not use this option if you need to update SRE attribute since it will fail.

object|nil - group_leader

int - defines wich parameter from this parameter is first that defines attribute name, usualy 0 (zero means that next parameter contains first atribute name to populate)

... - name-value pairs for the attributes to update "atribute1", "value1","atribute2", "value2" it may also contain dot references to the attributes of related objects

working example:

when persistent id is used without group leader

 

 uuid who;  
 send_wait(0,top_object(), "call_attr", "cnt", "current_user_id");  
 who=msg[0];   
 send_wait(0, top_object(), "call_attr", "api", "update_object", who, "site:1000104", NULL, NULL, 0, "name", "test123");  
  if (msg_error()) { 
 printf("create failed %s",msg[0]);  
 }

when persistent id is used with group_leader and dot references

  uuid who;  
  object newobject, group_leader;  
  send_wait(0,top_object(), "call_attr", "cnt", "current_user_id");  
  who=msg[0];   
  send_wait(0, top_object(), "get_co_group");  
    if (msg_error()) {  
        printf("Error'%s'", msg[0]);  
        return;  
    }  
 else{  
    group_leader = msg[0];  
 }
  send_wait(0, top_object(), "call_attr", "api", "update_object", who, "loc:27F1BC6523B7CC45936CF7A35BB04EF3", NULL, group_leader, 0, "site.description", "test123");  
   if (!msg_error()) {  
   send_wait(0, group_leader, "checkin");  
  if (msg_error()) {  
   printf("Error'%s'", msg[0]);  
  }    
    }
 else{
 printf("create failed %s",msg[0]);  
 } 

When reference object is used instead of persistent id

  uuid who;  
  object newobject, siteobject, group_leader;  
  send_wait(0,top_object(), "call_attr", "cnt", "current_user_id");  
  who=msg[0]; 
 send_wait(0, top_object(), "get_co_group");  
    if (msg_error()) {  
        printf("Error'%s'", msg[0]);  
        return;  
    }  
 else{  
    group_leader = msg[0];  
 }
 send_wait(0, top_object(), "call_attr", "loc", "dob_by_persid", 0, "loc:27F1BC6523B7CC45936CF7A35BB04EF3");  
 if (msg_error()) {  
 printf("Error %s",msg[0]);  
 }  
 else  
 {
 siteobject = msg[0]; 
 }
  send_wait(0, top_object(), "call_attr", "api", "update_object", who, "", siteobject, group_leader, 0, "description", "reftest7");  
   if (msg_error()) {  
 printf("create failed %s",msg[0]);  
 }
