serverContextId

Context identification, from edmiDefineServerContext

schemaType

The type of schemata to compile. Supported schema types are EXPRESS_SCHEMA_TYPE, RULE_SCHEMA_TYPE, QUERY_SCHEMA_TYPE and EXPRESS_X_SCHEMA_TYPE.

schemaFileName

The name of the file on the local file system that contains the schemata to compile.

diagnosticFile

The name of the file that will receive the compilation diagnostic information. If this argument is NULL or an empty string, the diagnostic information will be written to the _EDMinterface^_ the  EDMinterface  current output device.
Use edmiDefineOutputFunction to redefine the _EDMinterface^_ the  EDMinterface  current output device.

SdaiString        

schemasToStore

A comma separated list of schema names to be compiled. If this parameter is NULL or an empty string, all schemata in the file <schemaFileName> will be compiled.

SdaiUnsignedInt   

options

See description of available options below.
Options may be joined by using the bitwise OR operator. Default behaviour is that no subtypes be included in the returned entity extent.

nWarnings

A variable that will receive the number of warnings found by the _EDMexpressCompiler^{_}.

the  EDMexpressCompiler

nErrors

A variable that will receive the number of errors found by the EDMexpressCompiler^.

SdaiInvocationId  

edmiInvocationId

Currently not used.

EDM_EXPRESS_EXTENSION

The compiler will accept EDM extensions to Express, currently there is one, namely xpxPrintf (see _EDMassist^_ Vol6).

NO_EXPRESSION_CHECKED

Schema(ta) expressions will not be parsed and checked for syntactic correctness. This option implicitly sets the option NO_EXPRESSION_STORED as an unchecked expression cannot be stored in a dictionary model. Expressions may be found in the following Express constructs:

• CONSTANT, DERIVE attributes

• AGGREGATE bound specification

• WHERE

• FUNCTION

• PROCEDURE

• RULE

Setting this option also sets the

• NO_EXPRESSION_STORED NO_DERIVE_CHECKED

• NO_DERIVE_STORED NO_RULE_CHECKED

• NO_RULE_STORED

options.

NO_EXPRESSION_STORED

None of the expressions described above will be stored in the resulting dictionary model(s).

TC2

Parse the schema in accordance with Technical Corrigendum TC no.2

ERRORS_ONLY

Warnings will be suppressed.

EXPRESS_EDITION_2

Supports edition 2 of the Express language.

HTML_ERROR_LISTING

Compilation diagnostics will be written in HTML on files in the local file system directory defined by the system variable EDMS_TMP_DIR. The diagnostic report is ready to be displayed by an Internet browser. There are three or four HTML diagnostic files with the following names:
On UNIX: s_main.html, s_err.html, s_exp0.html and optionally s_sch.html
On Windows: s_main.htm, s_err.htm, s_exp0.htm and optionally s_sch.htm
The file named s_main.htm or s_main.html is the main file, hence this file should be specified within the actual Internet browser when displaying the diagnostic report.

EXTENSIVE_DIAGNOSTICS

Sets the highest available diagnostics report level.

DIAGNOSTICS_FOR_INTERFACED_ONLY

Diagnostics information will only be generated for interfaced schemata.

SDAI_WARNINGS

Activates _EDMinterface^{_}Activates  EDMinterface/SDAI warnings relevant for the usage of _ EDMinterface ^_ functions on an instantiated data model of the actual schema.

IGNORE_EMPTY_SELECT

No error message will be produced when the compiler detects that a SELECT definition, with an empty selection list, is interfaced from one schema to another.
Express constructions with expressions that refer to the empty select may not be properly checked when this option is set. This option should never be set when compiling schemata that will be used as the underlying schema for data models.

LOG_SCHEMA_INTERFACE

A log record will be written to the diagnostic report for each Express construct that is interfaced from one schema to another. This log record contains information such as the name of the interfaced construct, if it is explicit or implicit interfaced etc.

DIAGNOSTICS_FOR_ROOT_ONLY

Diagnostics information will not be generated for interfaced schemata.

STORING_SOURCE

The Express schema(ta) in its original form will be stored in the _EDMdatabase^{_}the  EDMdatabase. This Express source can later be retrieved and displayed by the _EDMsupervisor^_ the  EDMsupervisor  command Schemata>ShowSchemata.

DELETING_EXISTING_SCHEMAS

The existing dictionary model(s) with the same name as the resulting dictionary model(s) from this compilation will be replaced by the new dictionary model(s) as long as there are no data models associated with the existing dictionary model(s). Dictionary models may not be deleted before all the associated data models or associated Express-X dictionary models are deleted.

PARSE_ONLY

Specifies that the Express schema(ta) will be checked for syntax errors only. No dictionary models will be created when this option is enabled.

NO_DICTIONARY_MODEL

Specifies that no dictionary models will be created by the current invocation of the edmiRemoteDefineSchema operation.

CONTINUE_STORING_ON_ERROR

Enforces the EDMexpressCompiler^   to create and populate a dictionary model of erroneous schema(ta). Only schema(ta) compiled without any errors can be stored as a dictionary model(s) in the EDMdatabase^   when this option is unset.
NOTE: Use this option with care! It may cause unpredictable results. Possibly even fatal system failure!
