Interface OperationManager


  • public interface OperationManager
    This interface provides the means for managing Operations which includes retrieval, creation, updating and managing the states of Operations. Operations are identified by their name and the name of their executable component description. Their name is therefore unique with respect to the executable component description.

    If the provided entity (or its identifying attributes) of a method does not exist, an UnknownEntityException will be thrown.

        Gets lightweight objects representing the development versions of all operations of the designated executable component description in the designated branch known by this manager. The development versions stem from the base revision of the designated branch, that is, unchanged entities are copies of the corresponding base revisions while changed entities are modified with respect to the base revision.

                                          long branch)
        Gets the (full-fledged object representing the) development version of the designated operation in the designated branch. The returned entity will be IN_DEVELOPMENT if it has already been changed with respect to its base revision. Otherwise the entity will a copy of the base revision of the branch and therefore IN_PRODUCTION (in case the base revision is the latest revision) or OUTDATED (in case the base revision is already outdated). This copy will be set IN_DEVELOPMENT as soon as it is stored the first time.
        Parameters:
        session - The session which is used to check for access rights on this method.
        ecName - The name of the executable component description of the operation of which to retrieve the development version of the designated branch.
        operationName - The name of the operation of which to retrieve the development version of the designated branch.
        branch - The branch of which to retrieve the corresponding operation (or a new copy of the corresponding base revision entity in case it has not been changed before in this branch).
        Returns:
        The development version of the operation in the designated branch.
        Throws:
        UnknownEntityException - If the designated operation (or the executable component description) does not exist or the designated branch is currently unused, an UnknownEntityException will be thrown.
      • storeDevelopmentOperation

        void storeDevelopmentOperation​(SessionToken session,
                                       StorageOperation operation,
                                       long branch)
        Stores the designated (storage representation of the) operation in the designated branch and sets it IN_DEVELOPMENT if not done yet. All changes are therefore persisted. The branch is usually the same as specified when retrieving the operation for development. However, it can be changed but the content of the target branch will be overwritten. This can be used to copy changes between branches.
        To store a new activity template definition just set its primary key to a non-existing one and store it. If the key exists, the activity template definition will be updated instead of added!

        When storing an operation, the IDs of all corresponding ActivityTemplateDefinitions will be changed.

        Parameters:
        session - The session which is used to check for access rights on this method and to identify the storing agent and the corresponding organisational position.
        operation - The operation providing the new attributes to be set. Operations are identified by their name, therefore the name will not be able to be changed if there is at least one production revision.
        branch - The branch in which to store the corresponding operation.
        Throws:
        UnknownEntityException - If the designated branch is currently unused, an UnknownEntityException will be thrown.
      • revertDevelopmentOperation

        void revertDevelopmentOperation​(SessionToken session,
                                        String ecName,
                                        String operationName,
                                        long branch)
        Reverts the designated development operation in the designated branch that is all changes will be undone and the operation will logically be the same as the base revision of the branch.
        Parameters:
        session - The session which is used to check for access rights on this method.
        ecName - The name of the executable component description of the operation of which to revert the development version in the designated branch.
        operationName - The name of the operation of which to delete the development version in the designated branch.
        branch - The branch in which to revert the designated operation and therefore undoing made changes.
        Throws:
        UnknownEntityException - If the designated operation (or the executable component description) does not exist in the designated branch or does not exist at all or the designated branch is currently unused, an UnknownEntityException will be thrown.
      • simulateUpdateOfDevelopmentOperation

        CheckReport simulateUpdateOfDevelopmentOperation​(SessionToken session,
                                                         String ecName,
                                                         String operationName,
                                                         long branch)
        Simulates updating of the designated operation in the designated branch, that is only the designated operation of the branch is checked for whether it can be updated to the latest revision. The returned check report therefore contains all conflicts due to versioning. These occur for concurrent changes in the designated branch and changing the latest revision (by releasing a new one). If conflicts occur, checking only for one operation instead of checking the whole branch will provide a much simpler way to resolve these conflicts.
        When checking an operation that does not have any changes in the designated branch, the check report will contain no entries, indicating that there will be no problems when updating.
        Parameters:
        session - The session which is used to check for access rights on this method.
        ecName - The name of the executable component description of the operation which to check for versioning conflicts due to updating to the latest revision.
        operationName - The name of the operation which to check for versioning conflicts due to updating to the latest revision.
        branch - The branch in which to check the designated operation for versioning conflicts when updating.
        Returns:
        A check report providing information on versioning on the designated operation only.
        Throws:
        UnknownEntityException - If the designated operation (or the executable component description) does not exist in the designated branch or does not exist at all, an UnknownEntityException will be thrown.
      • outdateOperation

        void outdateOperation​(SessionToken session,
                              String ecName,
                              String operationName)
        Outdates the latest revision of the designated operation explicitly which prevents its usage afterwards. This state will indirectly outdate child entities. However, their state will not be changed explicitly, rather before using them the states of their parent entities have to be checked. The latest revision may be used for a development version which in turn may be released later.
        Outdating an OUTDATED operation will be ignored.
        Parameters:
        session - The session which is used to check for access rights on this method and to identify the outdating agent and the corresponding organisational position.
        ecName - The name of the executable component description of the operation of which to explicitly outdate the latest revision.
        operationName - The name of the operation of which to explicitly outdate the latest revision.
        Throws:
        UnknownEntityException - If the designated operation (or the executable component description) does not exist, an UnknownEntityException will be thrown.
