(* Defaults:

*)
-> string

Parameters

credentialOptions CredentialOptions: Object with data necessary to access the Linkar Server: Username, Password, EntryPoint, Language, FreeText.
filename String: Name of the file being updated.
records String: Buffer of record data to update. Inside this string are the recordIds, the modified records, and the originalRecords.
updateOptions UpdateOptions (Optional): Object with write options, including optimisticLockControl, readAfter, calculated, dictionaries, conversion, formatSpec, originalRecords.
xmlFormat FunctionsXML_FORMAT (Optional): Different XML output formats.
customVars String (Optional): Free text sent to the database allows management of additional behaviours in SUB.LK.MAIN.CONTROL.CUSTOM, which is called when this parameter is set.
receiveTimeout Int32 (Optional): Maximum time in seconds that the client will wait for a response from the server. Default = 0 to wait indefinitely.

Return Value

String
The results of the operation.

Remarks

Inside the records argument, the recordIds and the modified records always must be specified. But the originalRecords not always. When updateOptions argument is specified and the OptimisticLockControl property is set to true, a copy of the record must be provided before the modification (originalRecords argument) to use the Optimistic Lock technique. This copy can be obtained from a previous Read(CredentialOptions, String, String, String, ReadOptions, FunctionsXML_FORMAT, String, Int32) operation. The database, before executing the modification, reads the record and compares it with the copy in originalRecords, if they are equal the modified record is executed. But if they are not equal, it means that the record has been modified by other user and its modification will not be saved. The record will have to be read, modified and saved again.

C++

Copy

    {
        public string MyUpdatePartial()

                CredentialOptions credentials = new CredentialOptions("127.0.0.1", "EPNAME", 11300, "admin", "admin");

                result = Functions.UpdatePartial(credentials, "LK.CUSTOMERS",
