3.1.4.1.22 ApiCanResourceBeDependent (Opnum 21)

(Protocol Version 2) The ApiCanResourceBeDependent method determines whether a resource can be dependent on another resource as specified in section 3.1.1.1.2. The nonvolatile cluster state associated with either resource is not updated.

The server MUST fail this method using error ERROR_DEPENDENCY_ALREADY_EXISTS for any of the following conditions:

  • hResource and hResourceDependent represent the same resource.

  • The resources are not in the same group.

  • A dependency between hResource and hResourceDependent already exists.

  • A dependent of hResourceDependent is already dependent on hResource, either directly or indirectly. That is, circular dependencies are not permitted.

The server SHOULD accept an ApiCanResourceBeDependent request if its protocol server state is read-only, and MUST accept the request for processing if it is in the read/write state, as specified in section 3.1.1.

 error_status_t ApiCanResourceBeDependent(
   [in] HRES_RPC hResource,
   [in] HRES_RPC hResourceDependent
 );

hResource: An HRES_RPC context handle that was obtained in a previous ApiOpenResource or ApiCreateResource method call.

hResourceDependent: An HRES_RPC context handle that was obtained in a previous ApiOpenResource or ApiCreateResource method call.

Return Values: The method MUST return the following error codes for the specified conditions.
