OSID - osid.room.batch.CampusBatchAdminSession Service Interface Definition

Interface	osid.room.batch.CampusBatchAdminSession
Implements	`osid.room.CampusAdminSession`
Description	This session creates, updates, and deletes `Campuses` in bulk. 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. Create and update operations differ in their usage. To create an `Campus,` an `CampusForm` is requested using `getCampusFormsForCreate()` specifying the desired record `Types` or none if no record `Types` are needed. Each of the returned `CampusForms` 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 an `CampusForm` is submiited to a create operation, it cannot be reused with another create operation unless the first operation was unsuccessful. Each `CampusForm` corresponds to an attempted transaction. The `CampusForms` returned from `getCampusFormsForCreate()` may be linked to the originating request through the peer `Ids` of the `CampusForm.` In the case where there may be duplicates, any `CampusForm` of the same peer `Ids` may be used for a create operation. Once a batch of `CampusForms` are submitted for create, a `CreateResponse` is returned for each `CampusForm,` although the ordering is not defined. Only errors that pertain to the entire create operation are returned from `createCampuses(),` errors specific to an individual `CampusForm` are indicated in the corresponding `CreateResponse.` `CreateResponses` may be linked to the originating `CampusForm` through the `CampusForm` `Id` . For updates, `CampusForms` are requested to the `Campus` `Id` that is to be updated using `getCampusFormsForUpdate()` where the reference `Id` in the `CampusForm` may be used to link the request. Similarly, the `CampusForm` has metadata about the data that can be updated and it can perform validation before submitting the update. The `CampusForm` can only be used once for a successful update and cannot be reused. Once a batch of `CampusForms` are submitted for update, an `UpdateResponse` is returned for each `CampusForm,` although the ordering is not defined. Only errors that pertain to the entire update operation are returned from `updateCampuses(),` errors specific to an individual `CampusForm` are indicated in the corresponding `UpdateResponse.` `UpdateResponses` may be linked to the originating `CampusForm` through the `CampusForm` `Id.` The delete operations delete `Campuses` in bulk. Bulk delete operations return the results in `DeleteResponses.`
