Documentation
Definition
A determination category defines the category of a determination
Use
The business object processing framework distinguishes between persistent and transient determinations to decide if the determination should be carried out, depending on the existence of the defined node.
When a determination only changes transient fields its determination category may be set to transient. If a determination might change at least one persistent attribute its determination category must be set to persistent.
Typically determination category is only valid for determination times "After loading" and "Before retrieve". For the latter determination category transient is manadatory.
If the determination category of a determination is set to transient and the determination is triggered by a trigger node, the framework checks if the associated node instances are already loaded into the buffer without loading them when they are not available i.e. a determination of category transient will only run for instances already loaded into the buffer.
Furthermore a determination cen be set to "admin data" to indicate that this determination sets the system administrative data. If set an additional request node will be added to the determination for created extension nodes. By this it is ensured that the administrative data is also set for changes made on extension nodes.
The last value "Authority Check" is used to indicate that this determination is performing authority checks. If set the framework ignores requested attributes and executes the determination always.
Dependencies
Determinations with determination category "transient" should be configured with the edit mode "read only".
