Objects and Areas maintain attributes that describe the Containment model (Children and Parents)

Objective: Provide a clear understanding of which objects are contained by a specific object/area and the containment hierarchy up to the galaxy level.

Features: Populate and maintain a set of attributes to store and provide runtime access to containment information.

• MyContainedObjects [String][Array]: Contains a list of all objects contained by it, including:

  • Objects

  • Areas

  • ViewEngines

  • ViewApps

  • DIObjects

  • AppEngines

  • Others??

• MyContainers [String]: Contains the hierarchical model container path to the top of the galaxy, e.g.:

  • MyContainers[1] == MyContainer and MyContainers[MyContainers.Dimension1] == "[Galaxy name]"

• MyGRPlatform [String]: Contains the GR Platform's name.

Performance Consideration:

• Performance impact should be minimised.

• The least impactive option of these methods to populate should be picked (in order of preference):

  1. During check-in.

  2. During deployment.

  3. Provide a method to populate on demand if neither check-in nor deployment is feasible:

     • GetContainmentModel(): Populates the MyContainedObjects and MyContainers arrays on demand.

  4. Other options?
