Interface IndirectLinkStepLinkPart

All Superinterfaces:

ComplexTypeConditionHandler<IndirectLinkStepLinkPart>, IdConditionable<IndirectLinkStepLinkPart,Relation>, PropertiesConditionable<IndirectLinkStepLinkPart>, QualifierConditionable<IndirectLinkStepLinkPart>, TypeConditionable<IndirectLinkStepLinkPart>

public interface IndirectLinkStepLinkPart
extends IdConditionable<IndirectLinkStepLinkPart,Relation>, TypeConditionable<IndirectLinkStepLinkPart>, QualifierConditionable<IndirectLinkStepLinkPart>, PropertiesConditionable<IndirectLinkStepLinkPart>, ComplexTypeConditionHandler<IndirectLinkStepLinkPart>

The "link" and last part of the indirect link step. The step is considered complete once this interface is obtained, but the link part can still be tweaked (id / type conditions).

Note about link direction: The step should always be "correct" according to the class model definition. For example, a step is: "from 'node' to 'cpu' using link 'composition'", and never "from 'cpu' to 'node' using link 'composition'". However, sometimes it's required to continue the topological search (reach more steps) while traversing against the link direction (in the example, starting from 'cpu' and moving to 'node', then continuing to other CIs). To facilitate this, it's possible to declare a link-part to be "against the link direction", either by using setAlongDirection(boolean)(false) or by creating the link part using the "against..." methods in the first place.

UCMDB 9.0

Method Detail

isAlongLinkDirection

boolean isAlongLinkDirection()

Returns true if the step direction should be along the link direction or against the link direction.

andIndirectLink

IndirectLink andIndirectLink()

Returns the indirect link definition that holds this step.

Thie can be used for method chaining.

andStep

EmptyIndirectLinkStep andStep()

Adds another step to this indirect link.

Thie can be used for method chaining.

setAlongDirection

IndirectLinkStepLinkPart setAlongDirection(boolean alongDirection)

Sets if the step direction is along the link direction of against it.
