Just to explain/clarify this....I was just as confused when I started working with it....but basically here it is for you.
When dealing with Overlay/Custom objects (both Dev Studio and API), when you connect, it checks to see if you are a member of a group that has the flag 'Overlay Group' (Look on the group form) to 1. If not...you cannot work on overlay objects. If you play around a bit with this field on the group form you will see that there are certain groups that you cannot set to 1 (Administrator, Computed, Dynamic, etc)....so, when connecting via the API, if you don't set which 'group' can work on overlay/custom objects....you can't....setting the two values below say that if you are a member of group 1 (Administrator), you can....which I think is ironic because you can't set Admin as the group through the GUI....but as you mention...it works :) -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Chuck Sent: Tuesday, February 07, 2012 6:40 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Thank you Java Driver .. 7.6.04 api docs not so much- FYI for 7.6.04 java api If you need to operate on Custom or Overlay objects set the following in your api code context.setOverlayGroup("1"); context.setDesignOverlayGroup("1"); '--------------------------------- Api docs are getting less and less verbose, not even sure there are any docs on the functions listed above... ____________________________________________________________________________ ___ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org attend wwrug12 www.wwrug12.com ARSList: "Where the Answers Are" _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org attend wwrug12 www.wwrug12.com ARSList: "Where the Answers Are"
