Detailed Description

The Engine Management class acts as the interface to the Engine, and allows operations to be carried out on it.

It is not possible to construct an object of this class. The static methods supplied below in the engine namespace must be used instead.

Because an EngineManagement object is also an EventConsumer, it can have events sent to it (and to the Engine) through its sendEvents() method.

EngineManagement objects are not copiable. EngineManagement objects are created using com::apama::engine::connectToEngine, com::apama::engine::connectToEngineReceiveOnly or com::apama::engine::connectToEngineMonitorOnly. EngineManagement objects are deleted using com::apama::engine::disconnectFromEngine.

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum com::apama::engine::EngineManagement::ConnectMode

The mode that attachAsEventConsumerTo and detachAsEventConsumerFrom operate in.

Enumerator
CONNECT_LEGACY	For backwards compatibility, single serial connection.
CONNECT_PARALLEL	Allow parallel connections on multiple channels.

Member Function Documentation

virtual bool com::apama::engine::EngineManagement::attachAsEventConsumerTo	(	EngineManagement *	target,
		const char const	channels,
		bool	disconnectSlow = `false`,
		ConnectMode	mode = `CONNECT_LEGACY`
	)

pure virtual

Connect this Engine as an event receiver to another Engine.

Parameters

target	The Engine to connect to
channels	An array of names representing the channels to subscribe to. This is a null-terminated array of pointers to zero-terminated char arrays. If this is null or empty, subscribe to all channels. Note that these channel names should be encoded in UTF-8.
disconnectSlow	disconnect if slow. Only the first consumer's disconnectSlow value is used; subsequent consumers added to this. Default is false. EngineManagement object share the connection and thus the disconnect behaviour.
mode	the connection mode to use, defaults to legacy (single connection, all events delivered to the default channel). Set to CONNECT_PARALLEL for connection per channel and channel values passed through.

Returns: true if successful

Exceptions

EngineException

		int	port,
		const char const	channels,
		bool	disconnectSlow = `false`,

	)

pure virtual

Connect this Engine as an event receiver to another Engine.

Parameters

host	The hostname of the Engine to connect to
port	The port of the Engine to connect to
channels	An array of names representing the channels to subscribe to. This is a null-terminated array of pointers to zero-terminated char arrays. If this is null or empty, subscribe to all channels. Note that these channel names should be encoded in UTF-8. and retry it.
disconnectSlow	disconnect if slow. Only the first consumer's disconnectSlow value is used; subsequent consumers added to this EngineManagement object share the connection and thus the disconnect behaviour.
mode	the connection mode to use, defaults to legacy (single connection, all events delivered to the default channel). Set to CONNECT_PARALLEL for connection per channel and channel values passed through.

Returns: true if succesful

	)

pure virtual

Connect an event receiver to the Engine.

Parameters

Only the first consumer's disconnectSlow value is used; subsequent consumers added to this EngineManagement object share the connection and thus the disconnect behaviour. Defaults to false.

Returns: A reference to an EventSupplier resource, which the caller is responsible for freeing, using com::apama::event::deleteEventSupplier(). Each EventSupplier resource must be explicitly disconnected or deleted before disconnecting this EngineManagement object.
