6.14.1.2 Persistence
This state machine reflects the possible states of an instance data set concerning the persistence of data.
| "DTM" is an abbreviation and should be written in capital letters. IPropertyBag is not a valid interface. The correct term should be IPersistXXX. |
State | Meaning |
persistent | The content of the instance data set is persistent. This state will typically appear after the data set was saved by the Frame Application using the persistence interfaces of the DTM. |
transient | The data set was modified. These changes are not saved in a persistent way. All modified instance data within the DTM is temporary and not synchronized with other DTM instances or with the Frame Application. A IFdtContainer::SaveRequest() call just informs the Frame Application that the data set should be stored. |
