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

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
targetThe Engine to connect to
channelsAn 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.
disconnectSlowdisconnect 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. Default is false.
modethe 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
virtual bool com::apama::engine::EngineManagement::attachAsEventConsumerTo ( const char *  host,
int  port,
const char *const *  channels,
bool  disconnectSlow = false,
ConnectMode  mode = CONNECT_LEGACY 
)
pure virtual

Connect this Engine as an event receiver to another Engine.

Parameters
hostThe hostname of the Engine to connect to
portThe port of the Engine to connect to
channelsAn 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.
disconnectSlowdisconnect 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.
modethe 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
virtual com::apama::event::EventSupplier* com::apama::engine::EngineManagement::connectEventConsumer ( com::apama::event::EventConsumer consumer,
const char *const *  channels,
bool  disconnectSlow 
)
pure virtual

Connect an event receiver to the Engine.

Parameters
consumerThe EventConsumer to connect to the Engine.
channelsAn array of names representing the channels to subscribe to. This is a null-terminated array of pointers to zero-terminated char arrays. If it is null or empty subscribe to all channels. Note that these channel names should be encoded in UTF-8.
disconnectSlowtell the correlator it can disconnect this receiver if it is 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. 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.
Exceptions
EngineException
Deprecated:
This method is deprecated. Instead use EngineManagement::connectEventConsumer(com::apama::event::EventConsumer*, const char* const*) with com::apama::engine::connectToEngine(const char*, unsigned short, bool)

Exceptions
EngineException
virtual bool com::apama::engine::EngineManagement::isConnected ( )
pure virtual

This method is used to check that this object is still connected to the Engine.

It will never reconnect. Returns true if connected.

virtual void com::apama::engine::EngineManagement::killName ( const char *  name)
pure virtual

Kill a named monitor in the Engine.

Parameters
nameThe name of the monitor to be killed.
Exceptions
EngineException
virtual void com::apama::engine::EngineManagement::ping ( )
pure virtual

This method is used to check that the Engine is still alive.

If the Engine is alive it returns normally. If there is a problem then an EngineException is thrown.

At present, ping() will not attempt to reconnect, and will therefore always throw an exception once the connection is lost. A new management object should be created and the old one cleaned up (disconnected) when reconnection is needed.

Exceptions
EngineException
virtual void com::apama::engine::EngineManagement::sendEvents ( const com::apama::event::Event *const *  events)
pure virtual

Inject events into the Engine (inherited from EventConsumer), automatically batching messages on a separate thread.

May return before events are sent - call flushEvents before exiting.

Parameters
eventsAn array of pointers to Event objects containing the events to inject into the Engine.
Exceptions
EngineException

Implements com::apama::event::EventConsumer.

virtual void com::apama::engine::EngineManagement::sendEventsNoBatching ( const com::apama::event::Event *const *  events)
pure virtual

Inject events into the Engine.

Parameters
eventsAn array of pointers to Event objects containing the events to inject into the Engine.
Exceptions
EngineException
virtual void com::apama::engine::EngineManagement::setReceiverConnections ( const std::vector< com::apama::engine::EngineConnection > &  connections)
pure virtual

Attaches this component as a persistent receiver of the remote components specified in the connections argument, then decrements the reference count of any existing connections (which typically results in their removal).

Parameters
connectionsA vector of EngineConnection objects. The method call doesn't modify the vector.

This method throws EngineException If the change in the persistent connection set failed. Note that no exception is thrown if some of the specified connections could not be established immediately - in this case the receiver will simply keep trying to reconnect in the background.

Exceptions
EngineException
