Server-Side Critique COM Component

The server-side Critique COM component supports the adds, changes, and deletes that the CML/LitCrit application requires to the borrower and Critique tables in the FmLib database. The Critique component in LitCrit.dll is instantiated in script that runs when events fire on the LitCrit public folder; the script makes calls to the public methods in the Critique component, and the methods execute actions — add, change, and delete — on the FmLib database tables.

The Server-Side Critique COM Component

The Critique component's methods are:

• AddRecord method adds a record to the Critique table of the FmLib database.
• BorrowerInfo method retrieves the unique identifier of the reviewer from the FmLib database and calls a method to add a record for the reviewer if that reviewer does not exist in the database.
• DeleteRecord method deletes a record from the Critique table of the FmLib database.
• DeleteCritiqueByCritiqueNo method constructs the criteria used by the DeleteRecord method to delete a record from the Critique table by critique#.
• DeleteCritiqueByObjectID method constructs the criteria used by the DeleteRecord method to delete a record from the Critique table by objectId.
• ParseString method separates a string into individual data elements.
• UpdateRecord method updates the Critique table.

The MTSEnvironment object, an object in LitCrit.dll, is instantiated within the server-side Critique component of the CML/LitCrit application. This object works just like the MTSEnvironment object included in CML.dll, described in:
