Event Operation

Represents an operation executed on a Cumulocity device.

This event can be sent to Cumulocity to create/update an operation, and can also be received from Cumulocity as a notification.

Receiving Operation notifications requires configuration property subscribeToOperations to be set to true, and the notifications go to Operation.SUBSCRIBE_CHANNEL. For example:

 Operation("12345","deviceId","PENDING",{"c8y_Message":{"text":"Hello Cumulocity device"}}) 
 Operation("12345","deviceId", "EXECUTING", {})

To create/update an Operation, send an Operation event object to Operation.SEND_CHANNEL. For example:

 // Create an operation:
 send Operation("","deviceId", "PENDING", {"c8y_Message":<any>{<any>"text":<any>"Hello Cumulocity device"}}) to Operation.SEND_CHANNEL; 
 // Update the status field:
 send Operation("12345","deviceId", "EXECUTING", new dictionary<string, any>) to Operation.SEND_CHANNEL;

When listening for events of this type from Cumulocity, use the isCreate() and/or isUpdate() actions within the listener to distinguish between create and update events.

Constant summary

`string`	`NOTIFICATION_CREATED := "CREATED"` Value of PARAM_NOTIFICATION that indicates this is a new object.

Action detail

isCreate

boolean isCreate()

Check if this Operation instance was as a result of an operation being created in Cumulocity.

Throws:: Throws IllegalStateException if called on an instance that did not come from Cumulocity.

Since:: 10.7.1.0

isUpdate

boolean isUpdate()

Check if this Operation instance was as a result of an operation being updated in Cumulocity.

withChannelResponse

com.apama.cumulocity.ResponseWrapper withChannelResponse(integer reqId, dictionary<string, string> headers)

Create or update an Operation in Cumulocity and receive a response event confirming the change on Operation.SUBSCRIBE_CHANNEL channel.

Just sending an Operation is fire and forget. If your application requires an acknowledgement or the ID of the Operation created or updated on Operation.SUBSCRIBE_CHANNEL channel, then use the withChannelResponse API. You will need to subscribe to Operation.SUBSCRIBE_CHANNEL channel. This API will create an event that can be sent as normal and get a response from Cumulocity for the newly created or updated Operation. The responses are either an ObjectCommitted event or an ObjectCommitFailed event. The withChannelResponse API also allows you to provide headers to the create or update request. For example:


monitor.subscribe(Operation.SUBSCRIBE_CHANNEL);
Operation o := new Operation;
// set fields in o
integer reqId := com.apama.cumulocity.Util.generateReqId();
on ObjectCommitted(reqId=reqId) as commit and not ObjectCommitFailed(reqId=reqId) {
	// do something
}
on ObjectCommitFailed(reqId=reqId) as failure and not ObjectCommitted(reqId=reqId) {
	// do something
}
send o.withChannelResponse(reqId, {"X-Cumulocity-Processing-Mode": "PERSISTENT"}) to Operation.SEND_CHANNEL;

Parameters:: reqId - A request identifier generated from Util.generateReqId(). The response from Cumulocity will have the matching request identifier.; headers - Set headers of the create/update request. This can be used to explicitly control the processing mode of the create/update request.

withResponse

com.apama.cumulocity.ResponseWrapper withResponse(integer reqId, dictionary<string, string> headers)

Deprecated:: [This API has been deprecated. Use withChannelResponse API to receive confirmation on Operation.SUBSCRIBE_CHANNEL channel.]

Create or update an Operation in Cumulocity and receive a response event on default channel, confirming the change.

Just sending an Operation is fire and forget. If your application requires an acknowledgement or the ID of the Operation created or updated, then use the withResponse API. This API will create an event that can be sent as normal and get a response from Cumulocity for the newly created or updated Operation. The responses are sent to default channel and hence can be listened for only in the main context. The responses are either an ObjectCommitted event or an ObjectCommitFailed event. The withResponse API also allows you to provide headers to the create or update request. For example:


Operation o := new Operation;
// set fields in o
integer reqId := com.apama.cumulocity.Util.generateReqId();
on ObjectCommitted(reqId=reqId) as commit and not ObjectCommitFailed(reqId=reqId) {
	// do something
}
on ObjectCommitFailed(reqId=reqId) as failure and not ObjectCommitted(reqId=reqId) {
	// do something
}
send o.withResponse(reqId, {"X-Cumulocity-Processing-Mode": "PERSISTENT"}) to Operation.SEND_CHANNEL;

Parameters:: reqId - A request identifier generated from Util.generateReqId(). The response from Cumulocity will have the matching request identifier.; headers - Set headers of the create/update request. This can be used to explicitly control the processing mode of the create/update request.
