ADK Interface
Definition
The Archive Development Kit (ADK) interface is a set of function modules provided by ADK for all archiving objects.
Use
The function modules in the ADK interface are used to create, access, and process archived data and are used in:
- Write programs
- Delete programs
- Read programs
- Reload programs
- Conversion programs
These function modules cannot be used for the actual deletion of data from the database or reloading of data into the database. Your program must handle these actions.
Structure
These function modules can be divided into:
- Object-specific functions
- ARCHIVE_OPEN_FOR_WRITE/DELETE/READ/MOVE
- ARCHIVE_NEW_OBJECT, ARCHIVE_SAVE_OBJECT
- ARCHIVE_GET_NEXT_OBJECT
- ARCHIVE_GET_NEXT_RECORD, ARCHIVE_GET_WITH_CURSOR
- ARCHIVE_READ_OBJECT
- ARCHIVE_WRITE_STATISTICS
- ARCHIVE_ROLLBACK_WORK
- ARCHIVE_DELETE_OBJECT_DATA
- ARCHIVE_REGISTER_CLASS
- ARCHIVE_RELOAD_OBJECT_DATA
- ARCHIVE_PUT_TABLE
- ARCHIVE_GET_TABLE
- ARCHIVE_GET_INFORMATION
- ARCHIVE_GIVE_STATISTICS
- ARCHIVE_REGISTER_STRUCTURES
- ARCHIVE_GET_INIT_DATA
- ARCHIVE_PUT_INIT_DATA
- ARCHIVE_GET_STRUCTURES
- ARCHIVE_GET_INIT_STRUCTURES
Object-specific and class-specific functions can only be called by write/delete/read/reload/conversion programs, whereas the common functions can also be called by an archiving class.
