Interface IWorkspaceDomains3

All Superinterfaces:

IWorkspaceDomains, IWorkspaceDomains2, Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

VersionedWorkspace, Workspace

public interface IWorkspaceDomains3
extends IWorkspaceDomains2, Serializable

Provides access to members that allow you to alter a domain.

Remarks

The IWorkspaceDomains3 interface was added to enable users to rename existing domains. Without this interface, in order to rename an existing domain, it would first be necessary to disassociate it with all fields, delete the domain, create a new domain with the new name and reassociate it with the appropriate fields. Note that a schema locks is recommended when renaming a domain.

Remarks

The AlterDomainWithName method takes as input a Domain object whose Name property is set to the new name and the old domain name. The old domain name is used to reference to the domain that will be renamed. All references to the Domain will be updated to use the new name, it is not neccessary to account for this.
