OSID - osid.tracking.SubtaskIssueAdminSession Service Interface Definition

Interface	osid.tracking.SubtaskIssueAdminSession
Implements	`osid.OsidSession`
Description	This session creates subtask `Issues.` Subtasks are issues that are created in the contex of an existing issue. The data for create and update is provided by the consumer via the form object. `OsidForms` are requested for each create or update and may not be reused. To create a subtask, an `IssueForm` is requested using `getSubtaskFormForCreate()` specifying the desired issue and record `Types` or none if no record `Types` are needed. The returned `IssueForm` will indicate that it is to be used with a create operation and can be used to examine metdata or validate data prior to creation. Once the `IssueForm` is submiited to a create operation, it cannot be reused with another create operation unless the first operation was unsuccessful. Each `IssueForm` corresponds to an attempted transaction.
Method	getFrontOfficeId
Description	Gets the `FrontOffice` `Id` associated with this session.
Return	`osid.id.Id`		the `FrontOffice Id` associated with this session
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	getFrontOffice
Description	Gets the `FrontOffice` associated with this session.
Return	`osid.tracking.FrontOffice`		the front office
Errors	OPERATION_FAILED		unable to complete request
Errors	PERMISSION_DENIED		authorization failure
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	canCreateSubtasks
Description	Tests if this user can create subtask `Issues.` A return of true does not guarantee successful authorization. A return of false indicates that it is known creating a subtask will result in a `PERMISSION_DENIED.` This is intended as a hint to an application that may opt not to offer create operations to an unauthorized user.
Return	`boolean`		`false` if subtask `Issue` creation is not authorized, `true` otherwise
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	canCreateSubtaskWithRecordTypes
Description	Tests if this user can create a single `Issue` using the desired record types. While `TrackingManager.getIssueRecordTypes()` can be used to examine which records are supported, this method tests which record(s) are required for creating a specific `Issue.` Providing an empty array tests if an `Issue` can be created with no records.
Parameters	`osid.type.Type[]`	`issueRecordTypes`	array of issue record types
Return	`boolean`		`true` if `Issue` creation using the specified record `Types` is supported, `false` otherwise
Errors	NULL_ARGUMENT		`issueRecordTypes` is `null`
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	getSubtaskFormForCreate
Description	Gets the issue form for creating subtasks. A new form should be requested for each create transaction.
Parameters	`osid.id.Id`	`issueId`	the `Id` of the `Issue`
	`osid.id.Id`	`queueId`	the `Id` of the `Queue` in which the subtask should be created
	`osid.type.Type[]`	`issueRecordTypes`	array of issue record types
Return	`osid.tracking.IssueForm`		the issue form
Errors	NOT_FOUND		`issueId` or `queueId` is not found
	NULL_ARGUMENT		`issueId, queueId` or `issueRecordTypes` is `null`
	OPERATION_FAILED		unable to complete request
	PERMISSION_DENIED		authorization failure
	UNSUPPORTED		unable to get form for requested record types
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	createSubtask
Description	Creates a subtask `Issue.` A subtask is a nested `Issue.`
Parameters	`osid.tracking.IssueForm`	`issueForm`	the form for the subtask
Return	`osid.tracking.Issue`		the new `Issue`
Errors	ILLEGAL_STATE		`issueForm` already used in a create transaction
	INVALID_ARGUMENT		one or more of the form elements is invalid
	NULL_ARGUMENT		`issueForm` is `null`
	OPERATION_FAILED		unable to complete request
	PERMISSION_DENIED		authorization failure
	UNSUPPORTED		`issueForm` did not originate from `getSubtaskFormForCreate()`
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
