java.lang.Object
  com.ibm.di.connector.Connector
      com.ibm.di.connector.maximo.TpaeIFCDConnector

All Implemented Interfaces:

ConnectorInterface, VersionInfoInterface

public class TpaeIFCDConnector
extends Connector
implements ConnectorInterface

The Tpae IF Change Detection Connector listens on specified TCP port for HTTP requests. This connector returns hierarchical entries and supports only Server mode. The connector uses internally HTTPServerConnector and XMLParser2 for parsing the received XML representation of the actual MBO.

Constructor Detail

TpaeIFCDConnector

public TpaeIFCDConnector()

Default constructor.

Method Detail

initialize

public void initialize(Object obj)
                throws Exception

Initialize the connector. The connector may be passed a parameter of any kind by the user. It is up to the connector to determine whether this object can be used or not. The parameter is typically provided by a user script. When an AssemblyLine initializes it's Connectors, they are passed a ConnectorMode object.

Specified by:

initialize in interface ConnectorInterface

Overrides:

initialize in class Connector

Parameters:

obj - User provided parameter

Throws:

Exception - if the initialization of this connector fails.

getNextClient

public ConnectorInterface getNextClient()
                                 throws Exception

Server mode - return a clone of self that handles the next client instance when running in server mode. The returned connector may be used in its own thread to handle a "client" request so if the returned instance is returned more than once it must be thread safe.

Specified by:

getNextClient in interface ConnectorInterface

Overrides:

getNextClient in class Connector

Returns:

the clone of itself

Throws:

Exception - if an error occurs.

selectEntries

public void selectEntries()
                   throws Exception

Prepare the Connector for sequential read. If necessary, create a result set to be used for getNextEntry(). When the Connector is used as an Iterator in an AssemblyLine, this method will be called. Default is an empty method.

Specified by:

selectEntries in interface ConnectorInterface

Overrides:

selectEntries in class Connector

Throws:

Exception - if an error occurs.

getNextEntry

public Entry getNextEntry()
                   throws Exception

Returns the next Entry from the connector. The entry is populated with attributes and values from the next entry in the input set.

Example:

 var ctor = input.getConnector();
 var entry = ctor.getNextEntry();
 
 for (; entry != null; entry = ctor.getNextEntry()) {
        main.logmsg("Read entry...");
        main.dumpEntry(entry);
 }
 

Specified by:

getNextEntry in interface ConnectorInterface

Overrides:

getNextEntry in class Connector

Returns:

- the next Entry, or null if no more data

Throws:

Exception - if an error occurs.

ConnectorInterface.selectEntries()

terminateServer

public void terminateServer()
                     throws Exception

Stop servicing clients.

Specified by:

terminateServer in interface ConnectorInterface

Overrides:

terminateServer in class Connector

Throws:

Exception - if an error occurs.

terminate

public void terminate()
               throws Exception

Terminate the connector. This function closes all connection and releases all resources used by the connector. This function also calls the parser's closeParser() method if a parser is active.

Specified by:

terminate in interface ConnectorInterface

Overrides:

terminate in class Connector

Throws:

Exception - if an error occurs.

getVersion

public String getVersion()

Version information.

Specified by:

getVersion in interface VersionInfoInterface

Returns:

version information
