Changes additional information / documentation of a method in the EDMdatabase. The purpose of the user defined method signatures is to provide information about the methods and their input parameters to the users. The methods in question are Express-X mapping schemas and query functions. This is the only way to add classification and description to a query function method. For Express-X schema maps, this information may also be given by edmiRemoteDefineMethodsignature.

Arguments

Type	Name	Comment
SdaiServerContext	serverContextId	Context identification, from edmiDefineServerContext
SdaiString	methodType	"XPX" if the method is an Express-X Schema Map. "QEX" if the method is a query function.
SdaiString	methodName	If the method is an Express-X Schema Map, this shall be the method name that was assigned to the method when it was defined with edmiDefineMethodSignature. If the method is a query function, the method name shall be the name of the query function it self.
SdaiString	schemaName	If the method is an Express-X Schema Map, this variable shall be the name of the mapping schema. E.g "MySchemaMap". If the method is a query function, this variable shall be the name of the query schema containing the query in question, qualified with the name of the parent Express schema. E.g: "MySchema.MyQuerySchema"
SdaiString	methodClass	User defined classification of the method. This parameter is optional: Examples: ifc_checkin, ifc_checkout, ifc_heal.
SdaiPrimitiveType	returnValueDataType
SdaiInstance	returnValueDomainId
SdaiString	parameterNames[]	NULL terminated list of parameter names
SdaiPrimitiveType	parameterDatatype[]	list of parameter data types
SdaiInstance	parameterDomainIds[]	Optional, zero terminated buffer of parameter domainIds.
SdaiString	description	User added information/documentation, explaining the purpose of the method.
SdaiInvocationId	edmiInvocationId	Currently not used.
