InheritanceBAOnlineBatchTask Inheritance BAOnlineTask Inheritance BATask Inheritance AbstractTask Inheritance flash.events.EventDispatcher

The BAOnlineBatchTask class is responsible for executing a sequence of Community Analyst tasks.

Tasks to be executed in the batch task are specified with the taskProviders array in parameters of the batch task. An item of this array is either an object implementing the IBATaskParameters interface, an instance of the BACommand class or a function with the following signature:

taskProvider(parameters:BatchTaskParameters, client:BAOnlineClient):Object;

The result of this function should be either an object implementing the IBATaskParameters interface, an instance of the BACommand class or null.

Property Detail
activeDatasetIDproperty
activeDatasetID:String[override]

Active dataset ID.

An active dataset ID could be applied to tasks whose parameters implement the IBADatasetParameters interface. The value of an active dataset ID specified in this interface has a precedence on the value specified in the task class instance. If both values are missing, the default Community Analyst dataset is used.

The default value is null.


Implementation
    public function get activeDatasetID():String
    public function set activeDatasetID(value:String):void

lastResultproperty 
lastResult:BatchTaskParameters  [read-only]

The last result of execution the batch task.


Implementation
    public function get lastResult():BatchTaskParameters
requestTimeoutproperty 
requestTimeout:Number[override]

The request timeout in seconds to be set for every subtask of the batch task. A value less than or equal to zero prevents request timeout.

The default value is client.requestTimeout.


Implementation
    public function get requestTimeout():Number
    public function set requestTimeout(value:Number):void
Constructor Detail
BAOnlineBatchTask()Constructor
public function BAOnlineBatchTask(urlOrClient:Object = null)

Creates a new instance of the BAOnlineBatchTask object.

A new task can be constructed in two ways: as a task sharing a BAOnlineClient type instance with other tasks (the urlOrClient parameter has the BAOnlineClient type) or as a standalone task encapsulating its own client.

The base URL to the Community Analyst Web Services looks as follows:

http://{host}:{port}

The {host} and {port} parameters in this URL should be substituted with a valid Community Analyst host name and port, respectively.

If urlOrClient is null, the "http://baoapi.esri.com" value is assigned as the base URL.

Parameters
urlOrClient:Object (default = null) — A variable containing either Community Analyst HTTP Service URL string or an instance of the BAOnlineClient class.

Method Detail
createCommand()method
public function createCommand(parameters:BatchTaskParameters, commandName:String = null):BACommand

Creates a new command encapsulating this task and the given parameters.

Parameters

parameters:BatchTaskParameters — Parameters of a task to be executed.
 
commandName:String (default = null) — Command name.

Returns
BACommand — A new command.
execute()method 
public function execute(parameters:BatchTaskParameters, responder:IResponder = null):AsyncToken

Sends a request for executing a Community Analyst batch task to the Community Analyst HTTP (REST) Service.

A response can be received in two ways—in an optional responder object passed in parameters of this method and/or in listeners of fault and taskCompleted events registered for this task.

The responder is notified first when a response is received and parsed. Its fault method receives a parameter of the FaultEvent type and its result method receives a parameter of the BATaskCompletedEvent type whose result property contains the result object. After that the received event is dispatched to listeners of this task.

If a response is succesfully received and parsed, the result is assigned to the lastResult property of this task.

Parameters

parameters:BatchTaskParameters — Parameters of a task to be executed.
 
responder:IResponder (default = null) — A responder to call on result or fault.

Returns
AsyncToken — Asynch token associated with the response.
