Overridden Properties By Pattern

Getting Overridden Properties by Pattern

A quick Rhapsody API tip since this particular function is undocumented:

getOverriddenPropertiesByPattern (String, int, int)

Takes three arguments:

• String pattern
• int localyOverridenOnly - not my spelling mistake that is exactly how it appears in the JavaDoc :)
• int withDefaultValues

Pattern

This string ahould be in the form Subject.Metaclass.Pattern but any 2 of the three may be omitted, for example you can use:

"General.." to get all overridden properties with a subject of General

".Model." to get all overridden properties with a metaclass of Model

You get the idea !

LocalyOverridenOnly

Works as expected - setting this to 0 returns overridden, setting it to 1 returns locally overridden.

With Default Values

Does not work at all how you expect. Setting this to 1 makes the function ignore the pattern entirely and return all overridden properties - with their current value (not their default one).
