Obj-Filter method
|
|
Use the Obj-Filter method to filter the embedded pages of a results page (such as a Code-Pega-List page produced by the RDB-List, Obj-List-View or Obj-Browse methods) based on one or more when condition rules. 5.4 PROJ-822
For example, if each embedded page on results page contains a Page List property Child and each Child page contains a Single Value property FirstName, you can use the Obj-Filter method to remove all embedded pages where no value of FirstName is "Robert".
For best performance, use an Obj-Browse method to search and retrieve instances of a class where the selection criteria involve only Single Value properties exposed as columns in the PegaRULES database. Use the Obj-Filter method to refine search results by deleting pages based on when condition tests that involve non-exposed property values, including aggregate properties.
This method has two required parameters and an array parameter.

Description |
| ListPage |
Name of the results page, of class Code-Pega-List. |
| ResultClass |
|
| When |
|
At runtime, the system uses rule resolution to find the when condition rules.
It applies the when condition rules to each embedded page, and deletes any embedded pages for which any when condition evaluates to false.
The embedded pages for which all when condition rules evaluated to true are not affected.
The contents of surviving embedded pages are not affected.
This method updates the pxMethodStatus property. See How to test method results using a transition.

Select the Applies To key part of one or more when condition rules (Rule-Obj-When) to be used to test each result. Must match or be an ancestor class of the class of the embedded pages in the ListPage page.
Complete at least one row of this array, specifying a when condition rule. Enter the second key part (When Name) of a when condition rule. Typically, the comparisons and expressions in the when condition rule involve one or more aggregate properties or unexposed properties.
