Schema repository objects

Schema repository (master database) objects allow you to get and set certain kinds of metadata. The following diagram illustrates these objects you can work with, from a given AdminSession.

Top level objects allow access to the objects associated with Rational ClearQuest Designer functions such as Schemas, Databases, Groups, and Users.

Schema repository object: Description
AdminSession Object: You use the AdminSession Object to access the schema repository. (This is analogous to using the Session Object to access a user database.)
Database Object: The database for user data, such as defects.
Schema Object: Each schema in the schema repository is represented by a SchemaRev Object. You cannot modify schemas programmatically. Use the Rational® ClearQuest® Designer to make changes to a schema. The Schema object provides you with a list of schema revisions that you can use to upgrade a database.
SchemaRev Object: Each schema revision in the schema repository is represented by a SchemaRev Object. You cannot modify the SchemaRev object programmatically. Use the Rational ClearQuest Designer to make changes to a schema.
Group Object: Each user group in the schema repository is represented by a Group Object. This object contains the basic group information, including the users belonging to the group and the databases to which the group is subscribed.
User Object: Each user account in the schema repository is represented by a User Object. This object contains the user's profile information, including the groups and databases to which the user is subscribed.
PackageRev Object: A PackageRev is an object that contains information about a particular version of a Package. A Rational ClearQuest package is a version-based package. Packages are currently not exposed through the API.

A SchemaRev object contains information about a particular version of a Schema. A Rational ClearQuest schema uses a version-based mechanism. A Schema can have multiple versions associated with it.
