Adds an archived file, variable or subdatagroup to a datagroup.

 

Syntax

success = gd_datagroupadd(datagroupID,ID)

success = gd_datagroupadd(datagroupID,subdatagroupID)

 

Description

success = gd_datagroupadd(datagroupID,ID) adds a file or variable to a datagroup. The datagroup is specified by its unique identifier datagroupID and the identifier of the file or variable to add is specified with ID. The datagroup must have been created with gd_datagroup and the file or variable must have been archived using gd_archive. The function returns 1 if successful, or 0 if failed (for example if the datagroup does not exist).

 

success = gd_datagroupadd(datagroupID,subdatagroupID) adds a datagroup (subdatagroupID) to another datagroup (datagroupID). The datagroup to be added is known as a subdatagroup. Both datagroups must have been created with gd_datagroup.

 

Examples

Add a file and a variable to a datagroup after they have been archived.

 

from gddatabase import *

datagroupID = gd_datagroup('design opt 2004-09-03')

 

fileID = gd_archive('C:/file.dat')

gd_datagroupadd(datagroupID,fileID)

 

v = {'width': 12}

varID = gd_archive(v)

gd_datagroupadd(datagroupID,varID)

 

Add a datagroup to another datagroup

 

datagroupID = gd_datagroup('parent datagroup')

subdatagroupID = gd_datagroup('child datagroup')

gd_datagroupadd(datagroupID,subdatagroupID)

 

Notes

Only the owner of a datagroup can add data to it.

 

Attempting to add a file, variable or subdatagroup twice to the same datagroup will cause an error.

 

Attempting to add a datagroup to another datagroup that it is already the parent or ancestor of will cause an error. E.g. If datagroup b is added to datagroup a, and datagroup c is added to b, then a cannot be added to b or c.
