InitializeImageServerHelper

public InitializeImageServerHelper()

Method Detail

getTaskName

public java.lang.String getTaskName()

Description copied from interface: IStartupTask

Simple text name for task.

Specified by:

getTaskName in interface IStartupTask

Returns:

String task name

getTaskID

public int getTaskID()

Description copied from interface: IStartupTask

Unique identifier for task. Normally this is simply an ordinal value of the sequential task used in startup. See the class PTStartupTasks in application.startup to better understand.

Specified by:

getTaskID in interface IStartupTask

Returns:

int task ID

getNumSteps

public int getNumSteps()

Description copied from interface: IStartupTask

Ideally, the number of steps in a startup task is a fixed static value. In some cases, however, the number of steps can only be determined at runtime. The init() function is intended to allow a task to "pre-flight" startup in order to determine the scope of its steps.

Specified by:

getNumSteps in interface IStartupTask

Returns:

integer number of steps in this test

init

public ReturnValue init(java.lang.String _strApplicationName)

Description copied from interface: IStartupTask

Does whatever initialization is required by this task in order to determine the number of steps in the task. If at all possible, consider other initialization as separate steps in the task, to be executed immediately after this init is called.

Specified by:

init in interface IStartupTask

Returns:

ReturnValue container class instance

executeStep

public ReturnValue executeStep(int sequentialStepID)

Description copied from interface: IStartupTask

Executes each step in the task. Note that you should not conciously throw exceptions in this method; use the return value instead, denoting the severity and error message; it will be rethrown as an exception for you. This design increases the flexibility and re-use of your startup tasks.

Specified by:

executeStep in interface IStartupTask

Returns:

ReturnValue with result code and string

getMsg

public XPArrayList getMsg(int stepid,
                          Platform platform,
                          ReturnValue ret)

Description copied from interface: IMessage

Message element. Gets the recommendation strings for a specific narrow condition with retval, platform, task, in an XPArrayList, sorted by most accurate first.

Specified by:

getMsg in interface IMessage

Returns:

specific string recommendation

getMsgArray

public StartupTaskMessage[] getMsgArray()

Specified by:

getMsgArray in interface IMessage

Returns:

Enumerated list of messages

getNumMsgs

public int getNumMsgs()

Description copied from interface: IMessage

Message count.

Specified by:

getNumMsgs in interface IMessage

Returns:

number of messages in class
