fferpcore.LinkingCorrelationStrategy

global interface LinkingCorrelationStrategy

The purpose of this interface is to link multiple SObjects together when messages are sent. This could be done when creating an SObject on product A, product B receives this message and creates a similar SObject on product B. All methods in this interface must be implemented in order to use them.

Methods

void setCorrelationId(SObject record, String value)
Map<String, SObject> selectItemsByCorrelationId(Schema.SObjectType objectType, Set<String> selectorFields, Set<String> correlationIds)

setCorrelationId

void setCorrelationId(SObject record, String value)

This method sets the correlation field, which is defined in the constructor, on the given record to the specified value.

Input Parameters

Name	Type	Description
record	SObject	The SObject we want to assign the value to the correlation field.
value	String	The value we want the correlation field of the object to take.

fferpcore.LinkingCorrelationStrategy correlation = 
    new fferpcore.SimpleLinkingCorrelationStrategy(HCMFakeWorker__c.EmployeeId__c);
 
SObject newRecord = HCMFakeWorker__c.SObjectType.newSObject(null, true);
m_correlation.setCorrelationId(newRecord, 'Foo');

selectItemsByCorrelationId

Map<String, SObject> selectItemsByCorrelationId(Schema.SObjectType objectType, Set<String> selectorFields, Set<String> correlationIds)

This method returns a list of all the SObjects of the specified type with the specified fields from a list of specified IDs. These IDs relate to the correlation field which is defined in the constructor.

Input Parameters

Name	Type	Description
objectType	Schema.SObjectType	The SObject type we want to get back.
selectorFields	Set<String>	A collection of the fields we want to get back.
correlationIds	Set<String>	A collection of IDs that we want to use to get objects back.

Return Value

This service returns a map of String, SObject objects.
