java.lang.Object
- java.lang.Enum<MultiUpdatePolicy>
- - com.smartgwt.client.types.MultiUpdatePolicy

All Implemented Interfaces:

ValueEnum, java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<MultiUpdatePolicy>
```
public enum MultiUpdatePolicy
extends java.lang.Enum<MultiUpdatePolicy>
implements ValueEnum

- Enum Constant Detail
  - NEVER
```
public static final MultiUpdatePolicy NEVER
```
    having a PK is never required, even for requests from a browser. Note: dangerous setting that allows end users to wipe out entire tables
    If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "never".
  - CLIENTREQUEST
```
public static final MultiUpdatePolicy CLIENTREQUEST
```
    having a PK is required for requests that come from the client or are specifically marked via dsRequest.setClientRequest(true)
    If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "clientRequest".
  - RPCMANAGER
```
public static final MultiUpdatePolicy RPCMANAGER
```
    having a PK is required for any request that is associated with an RPCManager, which includes clientRequests and server-created DSRequests where an RPCManager was explicitly provided
    If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "rpcManager".
  - ALWAYS
```
public static final MultiUpdatePolicy ALWAYS
```
    having a PK is always required no matter what
    If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "always".

```
public static MultiUpdatePolicy[] values()
```
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
```
for (MultiUpdatePolicy c : MultiUpdatePolicy.values())
    System.out.println(c);
```
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static MultiUpdatePolicy valueOf(java.lang.String name)
```
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
    
    Returns:
    
    the enum constant with the specified name
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    
    java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null
  - getValue
```
public java.lang.String getValue()
```
    Specified by:
    
    getValue in interface ValueEnum
