Method Detail

getObjectiveBankHierarchyId

Id getObjectiveBankHierarchyId()

Gets the hierarchy Id associated with this session.

Returns:

the hierarchy Id associated with this session

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

getObjectiveBankHierarchy

Hierarchy getObjectiveBankHierarchy()
                                    throws OperationFailedException,
                                           PermissionDeniedException

Gets the hierarchy associated with this session.

Returns:

the hierarchy associated with this session

Throws:

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

canModifyObjectiveBankHierarchy

boolean canModifyObjectiveBankHierarchy()

Tests if this user can change the hierarchy. A return of true does not guarantee successful authorization. A return of false indicates that it is known performing any update will result in a PERMISSION_DENIED. This is intended as a hint to an application that may opt not to offer these operations to an unauthorized user.

Returns:

false if changing this hierarchy is not authorized, true otherwise

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

addRootObjectiveBank

void addRootObjectiveBank(Id objectiveBankId)
                          throws AlreadyExistsException,
                                 NotFoundException,
                                 OperationFailedException,
                                 PermissionDeniedException

Adds a root objective bank.

Parameters:

objectiveBankId - the Id of an objective bank

Throws:

AlreadyExistsException - objectiveBankId is already in hierarchy

NotFoundException - objectiveBankId not found

NullArgumentException - objectiveBankId is null

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

removeRootObjectiveBank

void removeRootObjectiveBank(Id objectiveBankId)
                             throws NotFoundException,
                                    OperationFailedException,
                                    PermissionDeniedException

Removes a root objective bank.

Parameters:

objectiveBankId - the Id of an objective bank

Throws:

NotFoundException - objectiveBankId is not a root

NullArgumentException - objectiveBankId is null

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

addChildObjectiveBank

void addChildObjectiveBank(Id objectiveBankId,
                         Id childId)
                           throws AlreadyExistsException,

                                  PermissionDeniedException

Adds a child to an objective bank.

Parameters:

objectiveBankId - the Id of an objective bank

childId - the Id of the new child

Throws:

AlreadyExistsException - objectiveBankId is already a parent of childId

NotFoundException - objectiveBankId or childId not found

NullArgumentException - objectiveBankId or childId is null

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

removeChildObjectiveBank

void removeChildObjectiveBank(Id objectiveBankId,
                            Id childId)
                              throws NotFoundException,
