  • Method Details

    • setContinue

      void setContinue(String nextCommand) throws PermissionDeniedException
      This method will continue the configuration or execution of the job with a new command to the plugin. If the plug-in is currently being configured the configuration will continue with the next command. If the plug-in is currently executing the job will be returned to job queue. The intention is that plug-ins can use this to survive a temporary shutdown of the system after catching the Signal.SHUTDOWN signal.
      Parameters:
      nextCommand - The next command to the plugin
      Throws:
      PermissionDeniedException - If another command isn't allowed

    • setContinue

      void setContinue(String nextCommand, Serializable state)
      Can be used by an executing job to also store state information that will be restored when the job is starting up again. If used in the configuration phase, the state information is ignored.
      Parameters:
      nextCommand - The next command to the plugin
      state - State information that will be restored when resuming
      Since:
      3.11

    • setClearState

      void setClearState()
      This can be used in the configuration phase of a plug-in to clear the stored state and nextCommand information. The intention is that a PAUSED plug-in that is being re-configured should be able to force a re-start from the beginning if the configuration has changed in a way that restarting from the stored state doesn't make any sense.
      Since:
      3.11

    • setDone

      void setDone(String message, Job.ExecutionTime estimatedExecutionTime)
      This will end the configuration of a job and set the estimated execution time for it.
      Parameters:
      message - An optional message
      estimatedExecutionTime - An estimated execution time for the job, null is the same as ExecutionTime.LONG

    • setExecuteImmediately

      void setExecuteImmediately(String message, Job.ExecutionTime estimatedExecutionTime, boolean failIfDenied) throws PermissionDeniedException
      This will end the configuration of a job, and start to execute it immediately if the plugin is permitted to do so. If it is not possible to execute the job immediately it will be added to the job queue for later execution unless the failIfDenied flag is set to true, in which case an exception will be thrown.

      If immediate execution is possible the client application must continue to use the same instance of the plugin object. This means that immediate execution always happens in the same virtual machine. Plugins should be aware of this and avoid excessive use of resources such as memory and CPU time.

      The client application may execute the job in another thread.

      Parameters:
      message - An optional message
      estimatedExecutionTime - An estimated execution time for the job, null is the same as ExecutionTime.LONG. This value is only used if immediate execution isn't possible and the job has to be added to the job queue.
      failIfDenied - TRUE if a PermissionDeniedException should be thrown if immediate exection isn't possible, FALSE to add the job to the job queue for later exection
      Throws:
      PermissionDeniedException - If logged in user doesn't have write permission on the job.
      Since:
      2.2

    • setDownloadImmediately

      void setDownloadImmediately(String message, Job.ExecutionTime estimatedExecutionTime, boolean failIfDenied) throws PermissionDeniedException
      This will end the configuration of a export job, and start to execute it for immediate download. This method is similar to the setExecuteImmediately(String, Job.ExecutionTime, boolean) but:
      Parameters:
      message - An optional message
      estimatedExecutionTime - An estimated execution time for the job, null is the same as ExecutionTime.LONG. This value is only used if immediate execution isn't possible and the job has to be added to the job queue.
      failIfDenied - TRUE if a PermissionDeniedException should be thrown if immediate exection isn't possible, FALSE to add the job to the job queue for later exection
      Throws:
      PermissionDeniedException - If the logged in user doesn't have write permission to the job.
      Since:
      2.2

    • setPause

      void setPause(String message, String nextCommand, Serializable state)
      A plug-in can call this method to notify the core that it has been paused. The job should remain in the job queue. A user may manually decide to either re-configure the job or resume it from where it was paused. Note to plug-in developers: The job will be resumed in a different instance. Any state information that is needed when resuming can be stored in the 'state' parameter. This information will be provided to the plug-in when re-starting.
      Parameters:
      message - An optional message to update the status field
      nextCommand - The command to send to the plug-in when resuming
      state - State information that will be restored when resuming
      Since:
      3.11

    • setDone

      void setDone(String message)
      This will end the job execution and report it as a success.
      Parameters:
      message - A message containing any relevant information about what the plugin did, or null

    • setDryRun

      void setDryRun(boolean dryRun)
      A plug-in may call this method in it's configuration phase or after it has been executed to indicate that the job should be or was executed as a dry-run job. A dry-run job is a job that does all the things a normal job would do except committing the changes to the database. The dry-run job may output a log file with detailed information about what should have happened if it hadn't been a dry-run.

      NOTE! Setting this value to true doesn't change the behaviour of the core. It is the responsibility of the plug-in to check this value(eg. Job.isDryRun() and take appropriate action.

      Parameters:
      dryRun - TRUE to indicate that the job should be or was executed as a dry-run
      Since:
      2.8

    • setSuggestedJobName

      void setSuggestedJobName(String jobName)
      A plug-in may call this method on it's job configuration phase to suggest a name for the job. Otherwise a default name will be generated by the core.
      Since:
      2.17

    • setError

      void setError(String message, List<? extends Throwable> errorList)
      This will end the job execution or configuration and report it as a failure. If in a configuration sequence the client application may try the same command again with different parameters.
      Parameters:
      message - Information about the reason for the error
      errorList - Detailed information about the error
