Supported characteristics with list of terms

This section describes LotusScript functionality available for the HCL Domino Connector for SAP® Solutions.

The following table shows the supported and unsupported characteristics. See the list of terms following this table for a definition of each characteristic.


Properties	Description
Connection properties	Destination, Client, System Number, Language, EnableSAPGUI, NewPassword, Cookie, RfcUser, ChangePassword
Writeback support	Only simulated. The RFC or BAPI determines the effects of a writeback operation.
Writeback index	None.
Statement syntax	RFC import parameters separated by commas For LCXSelect parameters and structures that have an IMPORTS prefix. Table fields are referenced by the table name that precedes the field name. Export parameters and structures can be referenced with an EXPORTS prefix.
Condition syntax	Valid when placed as follows: PARAM1="*",PARAM2="whatever"...
Array transfer	Full with following caveats: Not for transactions because they use LCXCall which the LC API does not allow to support array transfers) Not for output parameter support
Actions supported	Reset, Clear
Catalog types	Server, Database, Metadata, Field
Create types	None.
Drop types	None.

List of terms

The following table defines the terms used in this section:


Term	Definition
Writeback support	Indicates whether the connection supports writeback result sets. The term writeback is defined in RDBMS systems as an "updateable cursor", which means that, using the result set, the most recently fetched record can be directly updated or deleted. By way of contrast, a non-writeback update must first search the table using keys, however a writeback update can immediately locate the record to update. Writeback support saves time and is therefore more efficient.
Writeback index	The database index, if any, required to enable writeback support for a given metadata object. For example, some connectors require that a unique index exist, while others do not.
Statement syntax	The statement type and format that this connector accepts.
Condition syntax	The type and format of the condition statements that this connector accepts.
Array transfer	The capability of this Connector to transfer many records at once. The benefit of transferring many records at once is that only one network transaction is needed, rather than many, for a given set of records - the data has the same number of bytes, but the transfer takes less time. Array transfers can be used for read or write operations, depending on the RDBMS and the connector.
Actions supported	Actions that this connector is capable of supporting.
Catalog types	Catalog types that this connector supports for browsing-type operations.
Create types	Object types that this connector can create in the external system.
Drop types	Object types that this connector can drop from the external system.
