maxon.UpdatableAssetInterface

Description

An maxon.UpdatableAsset is an maxon.Asset which supports the update of its updatable references to other assets to newer versions. Such an update doesn’t create a new repository version of the asset because the asset definition itself isn’t changed, only the references (represented by maxon.AssetLink) point to newer assets.

Methods Signature

Updates the given references of this asset to point to the corresponding assets.

Methods Definition

UpdatableAssetInterface.Update(updates, repository)

Updates the given references of this asset to point to the corresponding assets.

The references have to use updatable maxon.AssetLink objects (their update policy must not be ASSET_UPDATE_POLICY.NEVER). Afterwards the AssetBaseWithUpdateInterface.GetUpdate() “update counter” is incremented.

Parameters

• updates (maxon.BaseArray [maxon.Tuple [maxon.AssetReference, maxon.AssetBase]]) – The updates to apply as a block of the references and their new targets.

• repository (maxon.AssetRepositoryRef) – The repository to which this asset belongs. AssetBaseInterface.GetRepository() will be None during the update because the asset is in mutable state.
