Interface IOperationValidator


public interface IOperationValidator

This class contains various validation methods to be invoked before or during executing update manager operations.

Note: This class/interface is part of an interim API that is still under development and expected to change significantly before reaching stability. It is being made available at this early stage to solicit feedback from pioneering adopters on the understanding that any code that uses this API will almost certainly be broken (repeatedly) as the API evolves.

Since:
3.0
