queueBatchActivity

void queueBatchActivity(java.lang.String aClassName,
                        java.lang.String aActivityName,
                        ParameterPage aParamPage)

Queue an activity to be executed within a new batch requestor
Note that v2 permitted the specification of another "dequeue" activity, but there are no uses of that parameter in existing code, so it is omitted. Also in v2 was the optional specification of a user name and password to authenticate the batch requestor. No uses of this facility were found in code, so it is omitted (if needed these values can be passed on the parameter page).

Parameters:

aClassName - class of Activity

aActivityName - name of activity

aParamPage - parameter page for activty

queueBatchActivity

java.lang.Object queueBatchActivity(java.lang.String aClassName,
                                    java.lang.String aActivityName,
                                    ParameterPage aParamPage,

Queue an activity to be executed within a new batch requestor

Parameters:

aClassName - Class to which Activity belongs

aActivityName - Name of Activity to execute

aParamPage - Parameter page for activty. May be null.

aPrimaryPage - Primary page for the activity. Must be of the type Code-Pega-Child, or null.

Returns:

BatchRequestorTask

aParamPage - Parameter page for activty. May be null.

aPrimaryPage - Primary page for the activity. Must be of the type Code-Pega-Child, or null.

stopBatchActivity

void stopBatchActivity(java.lang.Object aChildIdentifier)
                       throws PRNoSuchChildException

Ask a child requestor and all of its children to stop as soon as possible. The check for whether to stop or not is done at the activity step prolog.

Note that the caller should still follow this with a call to waitOnAllBatchActivities() in order to properly finish its task.

Parameters:

aChildIdentifier - The object handle representing a child requestor

Throws:

PRNoSuchChildException - The given child is not valid.

stopBatchActivities

void stopBatchActivities()

Send the stop command to all children of this requestor.

Unlike stopBatchActivity(Object), it is not necessary to call waitOnAllBatchActivities() to cleanup the child requestors.

waitOnBatchActivity

void waitOnBatchActivity(java.lang.Object aChildIdentifier)
                         throws PRNoSuchChildException

Wait forever for a child requestor to finish. Once finished, it removes the child requestor.

Parameters:

aChildIdentifier - The child to wait for

Throws:

PRNoSuchChildException - The given child is not valid.

waitOnBatchActivity

void waitOnBatchActivity(java.lang.Object aChildIdentifier,
                         long aTimeout)

                                PRTimeoutExpiredException

Wait for a child requestor to finish, or for some timeout to be reached. Once finished, it removes the child requestor.

Parameters:

aChildIdentifier - The child requestor to wait for

aTimeout - the number of milliseonds to wait for the child. If the timeout is reached before the child is done, a PRTimeoutOccurredException is thrown

Throws:

PRNoSuchChildException - The given child is not valid.

PRTimeoutExpiredException - Thrown when specified amount of time runs out and the child has yet to terminate

waitOnAllBatchActivities

void waitOnAllBatchActivities()

Wait forever for all batch activities to complete. Once finished, it removes all child requestors.

waitOnAllBatchActivities

void waitOnAllBatchActivities(long aTimeout)
                              throws PRTimeoutExpiredException

Wait for all children requestors to complete their activities, or for a timeout, whichever comes first. Once finished, it removes all child requestors.

Parameters:
