eMatrix
-----------
--> What do you mean by eMatrix?
Matrix is an information management system.
Matrix is a comprehensive system for managing any type of information in any
business environment. Matrix provides the flexibility required to organize this
information according to your projects, products, or business model.
*--> Difference between the BusinessObject & DomainObject?
The Business Object class is a logical representation of a Matrix business
object
The Domain Object class represents the top level class for the AEF java
classes.
--> Difference b/w administration Objects & Business Objects?
Admin objects are the prerequisite for the business objects.
Admin objects are created in Business modeler and stored in ADMINISTRATION
VAULT.
Business objects are created in Navigator and stored in BUSINESS VAULT.
Admin objects are similar to Classes in Java, and Business objects are
similar to instance of classes i.e., objects in Java.
*--> Few methods in the BusinessObject & DomainObject?
BusinessObject ( matrix.db.BusinessObject )
-> void create(Context context, java.lang.String policy) -
Create this object
-> void demote(Context context) - Demote this BusinessObject
to its previous state
-> boolean equals(BusinessObject object) - Test if two
business objects are equivalent
-> Relationship connect(Context context, RelationshipType type,
boolean from, BusinessObject object) - Connect this BusinessObject to another
DomainObject ( com.matrixone.apps.domain.DomainObject )
-> static MapList findObjects(Context context, java.lang.String
typePattern, java.lang.String namePattern, java.lang.String revPattern,
java.lang.String ownerPattern,
java.lang.String vaultPattern, java.lang.String whereExpression, boolean
expandType, StringList objectSelects)
Queries on the given criteria into a map list
containing a mapping of selectable names to values.
-> java.util.Map getRelatedObject(Context context,
java.lang.String relationship, boolean from, StringList busSelects, StringList
relSelects)
Retrieves information by traversing one level on a
given reationship.
-> MapList getRelatedObjects(Context context, java.lang.String
relPattern, java.lang.String typePattern, boolean getTo, boolean getFrom, int
recursionLevel, StringList objectSelects, StringList relationshipSelects,
java.lang.String busWhereClause, java.lang.String relWhereClause, java.lang.String
postRelPattern, java.lang.String postTypePattern, java.util.Map postPatterns)

--> Name few admin Objects?
attribute ,type ,policy ,relationship , person ....
--> Admin Objects reside in which Vault?
Adminstrative vault
An Administration vault (only one exists).
The Administration vault is used only for administrative purposes and serves
as the master definition vault. It is created automatically when Matrix is
installed on your system.
It may not be used for storing business objects.

}
--> how to invoke the jpo in jsp�s
Jpo.invoke (context, classname, String [] initargs,-methodname, String [],
methodargs, java.lang.class rettype;
--> what do you mean by postProcess
Pre-processing executes before loading the editable form page.
Post processing executes after completion of the edit process. The edit
process, post process JSP, and post process JPO are done in a single transaction.
If an exception occurs during the edit or post process, the system rolls back the
entire transaction.
Cancel processing executes whenever a user clicks a Cancel button or closes
the editable form component.
--> where do we specify the class path to compile the JPO *
--> what are the access controls in eMatrix
Person, Group, Role, Policy
*--> how the UI access is controlled
--> what is the diff b/w association and group
Groups � A collection of people who work on a common project, have a common
history, or share a set of functional skills.
Association � A collection of groups, roles, or other associations.

--> Types of Users in eMatrix?
Application user , Full user , System Admin , Business Admin
--> Diff B/W Application User & Full User?
Application user
A licensed user that can access the Matrix Database only through the
Matrix Collaboration Server or MQL. All active users have Application User
privileges Automatically.
Full user
For Login through Matrix navigator and MQL.
--> How to relate a person to a particular location?
Choose the particular site name while creating the person particulars in
deafault tab. that site will related to location.
--> What is the minimum access to the User to find the Objects in the eMatrix?
Read
--> What is rule?
Matrix users are allowed access to information based on the Rules that are
set by the Business Administrator. Rules are created which define owner, public and
user privileges, as well as the Programs, Attributes, Forms, and Relationships that
they govern.
We can restrict the access through the rule.
--> What is policy?
A business object is controlled by its policy. A policy is a set of rules
that governs the behavior of a business object�its lifecycle,access privileges,
revisioning schemes, the file formats associated with the object, and where/how
checked-in files are stored in the database. The Matrix Business Administrator
creates the policies that will govern Matrix types.
--> where we will specify the particular governed object is revisionable,
versionable?
In Policy States
--> How to control the chekin format of the object?
THROUGH Policy
--> In which object we can place the Triggers?
--> Types of Triggers?
1. Check: will fire before the process takes place & based on the return
type, the process is allowed. 1 � Will block the process and 0 � will allow
2. Override: will be fired after the check trigger. This will get executed
irrespective of check trigger is block or allow.
3. Action: will get fired after the process gets over. If check trigger block
the event, then action won�t execute.
--> How to create the Trigger?
--> Define the Relationship?
A relationship is a type of connection made between associated business
objects. These connections enable you to see how one business object relates to
other objects.
--> What does revision rule specified in Relationship?
Revision specifies whether it is none or float or replicate
None: the revised object has no connection
Float: the connection shifts to revised object
Replicate: new connection is made to revised object. The original
connection left intact.
--> Types of Programs?
Java , MQL and External
--> What are the execute Modes available in Program?
immediate and differed
--> Can we use the webform to create the Objects?*
--> what do u mean by Vault & STORE
Store is the Storage area for business object�s files that are checked in.
Vault is the Storage area for business objects.
--> diff b/w Vault & Store
Store is the Storage area for business object�s files that are checked in.
Vault is the Storage area for business objects.
--> types of vaults
Vaults fall into 2 categories:
� Business object vaults (you can have many).
Business object vaults are used to organize business objects
within your database.
There are three types of business object vaults: Local, Remote,
and Foreign.
� An Administration vault (only one exists).
The Administration vault is used only for administrative purposes
and serves as the master definition vault. It is created automatically when Matrix
is installed on your system.Unlike other vaults, the Administration vault is not
listed among the available vaults when a person uses the Vault Chooser to specify a
vault when setting context, performing queries, or creating new objects in Matrix
Navigator. It may not be used for storing business objects.
3 Types of Vaults are there.
LOCAL: It is stored in the same eMatrix Database.
REMOTE: Remote vaults are used for loosely coupled databases, which
allow two entirely different eMatrix installations to share data.
To share the Vault through multiple servers.
FOREIGN: Vault location is in the server location. A server entry area
is provided.
--> types of stores
3 types of stores are there.
Ingested Files
An ingested file store contains ingested files, which are completely
controlled by eMatrix. The information within the files is subject to eMatrix
access control. This results in the fastest processing times and the simplest file
maintenance. Once a file is ingested, it can be retrieved only using eMatrix and
cannot be accessed using any of the system file utilities.
Captured Files
A captured file store contains captured files. A captured store offers
a bit more flexibility than an ingested store in regard to system control while
still taking advantage of matrixs file and access control. Captured files are
maintained by eMatrix and are subject to the access rules defined in the policy
that governs the file associated with the business object. The primary means of
accessing the file is from eMatrix, although it is possible to access it from the
file system.
Tracked Files
A tracked file store contains tracked files, which provide the least
amount of eMatrix control. EMatrix maintains information about the file but does
not control the physical file itself; the naming, maintenance, and general access
is controlled external to eMatrix. A tracked file maintains the maximum amount of
external control while allowing some access from within eMatrix.
In V6 Captured, DesignSync, External
--> what is the purpose of the site & location
location - An alternate host and path for a Captured Store.
site - A set of Locations.
