Returns
whether or not user database updates are allowed. Prior to version 7.0, Rational
ClearQuest prevented write updates to the database unless the local character
set (also known as the client code page) was compatible with the
Rational® ClearQuest® data code
page. Beginning in version 7.0, updates to the database are allowed even if
the local character set is incompatible (
Rational ClearQuest only
allows compatible characters to be stored in the database, and returns an
exception if characters that are not in the
Rational ClearQuest data
code page are attempted to be stored in the database).
- For version 7.0, the method always returns True. Updates to the database
are always allowed. Rational ClearQuest will
return an error if characters are not in the Rational ClearQuest data
code page.
- For version 2003.06.xx, the method returns True if the local character
set is compatible with the Rational ClearQuest data
code page. Updates to the database are allowed when the method returns True.
If this method returns False, then the local character set is not compatible
with the Rational ClearQuest data
code page, and only read-only access to the database is allowed.
Note: This method became available in version 2003.06.00.
