Description

This session provides methods to re-assign Objectives to ObjectiveBanks. An Objective may map to multiple ObjectiveBanks and removing the last reference to an Objective is the equivalent of deleting it. Each ObjectiveBank may have its own authorizations governing who is allowed to operate on it.

Moving or adding a reference of an Objective to another ObjectiveBank is not a copy operation (eg: does not change its Id).

MethodcanAssignObjectives
Description

Tests if this user can alter objective/objective bank mappings. A return of true does not guarantee successful authorization. A return of false indicates that it is known mapping methods in this session will result in a PERMISSION_DENIED. This is intended as a hint to an application that may opt not to offer assignment operations to unauthorized users.

Returnboolean false if mapping is not authorized, true otherwise
Compliancemandatory This method must be implemented.
MethodcanAssignObjectivesToObjectiveBank
Description

Tests if this user can alter objective/objective bank mappings. A return of true does not guarantee successful authorization. A return of false indicates that it is known mapping methods in this session will result in a PERMISSION_DENIED. This is intended as a hint to an application that may opt not to offer assignment operations to unauthorized users.

Parametersosid.id.IdobjectiveBankId the Id of the ObjectiveBank
Returnboolean false if mapping is not authorized, true otherwise
ErrorsNULL_ARGUMENT objectiveBankId is null
Compliancemandatory This method must be implemented.
MethodgetAssignableObjectiveBankIds
Description

Gets a list of objective banks including and under the given objective bank node in which any objective can be assigned.

Parametersosid.id.IdobjectiveBankId the Id of the ObjectiveBank
Returnosid.id.IdList list of assignable objective bank Ids
ErrorsNULL_ARGUMENT objectiveBankId is null
OPERATION_FAILED unable to complete request
Compliancemandatory This method must be implemented.
MethodgetAssignableObjectiveBankIdsForObjective
Description

Gets a list of objective banks including and under the given objective bank node in which a specific objective can be assigned.

Parametersosid.id.IdobjectiveBankId the Id of the ObjectiveBank
osid.id.IdobjectiveId the Id of the Objective
Returnosid.id.IdList list of assignable objective bank Ids
ErrorsNULL_ARGUMENT objectiveId or objectiveBankId is null
OPERATION_FAILED unable to complete request
Compliancemandatory This method must be implemented.
MethodassignObjectiveToObjectiveBank
Description

Adds an existing Objective to an ObjectiveBank.

Parametersosid.id.IdobjectiveId the Id of the Objective
osid.id.IdobjectiveBankId the Id of the ObjectiveBank
ErrorsALREADY_EXISTS objectiveId already mapped to objectiveBankId
NOT_FOUND objectiveId or objectiveBankId not found
NULL_ARGUMENT objectiveId or objectiveBankId is null
OPERATION_FAILED unable to complete request
PERMISSION_DENIED authorization failure
Compliancemandatory This method must be implemented.
MethodunassignObjectiveFromObjectiveBank
Description

Removes an Objective from an ObjectiveBank.

Parametersosid.id.IdobjectiveId the Id of the Objective

ErrorsNOT_FOUND objectiveId or objectiveBankId not found or objectiveId not mapped to objectiveBankId
NULL_ARGUMENT objectiveId or objectiveBankId is null
OPERATION_FAILED unable to complete request
PERMISSION_DENIED authorization failure
Compliancemandatory This method must be implemented.
MethodreassignObjectiveToObjectiveBank
Description

Moves an Objective from one ObjectiveBank to another. Mappings to other ObjectiveBanks are unaffected.

osid.id.IdtoObjectiveBankId the Id of the destination ObjectiveBank
ErrorsALREADY_EXISTS objectiveId already assigned to toObjectiveBankId
NOT_FOUND objectiveId, fromObjectiveBankId, or toObjectiveBankId not found or objectiveId not mapped to fromObjectiveBankId
NULL_ARGUMENT objectiveId, fromObjectiveBankId, or toObjectiveBankId is null
OPERATION_FAILED unable to complete request
PERMISSION_DENIED authorization failure
Compliancemandatory This method must be implemented.
