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

The BAOnlineBatchTask class is responsible for executing a sequence of Business Analyst Online 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.

Implementation
    public function get lastResult():BatchTaskParameters
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 Business Analyst Online Web Services looks as follows:

http://{host}:{port}

The {host} and {port} parameters in this URL should be substituted with a valid Business Analyst Online 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 Business Analyst Online 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 Business Analyst Online batch task to the Business Analyst Online 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.
