Method Detail

getProcessHierarchyId

Id getProcessHierarchyId()

Gets the hierarchy Id associated with this session.

Returns:

the hierarchy Id associated with this session

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

getProcessHierarchy

Hierarchy getProcessHierarchy()
                              throws OperationFailedException,
                                     PermissionDeniedException

Gets the hierarchy associated with this session.

Returns:

the hierarchy associated with this session

Throws:

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

canModifyProcessHierarchy

boolean canModifyProcessHierarchy()

Tests if this user can change the hierarchy. A return of true does not guarantee successful authorization. A return of false indicates that it is known performing any update will result in a PERMISSION_DENIED. This is intended as a hint to an application that may opt not to offer these operations to an unauthorized user.

Returns:

false if changing this hierarchy is not authorized, true otherwise

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

addRootProcess

void addRootProcess(Id processId)
                    throws AlreadyExistsException,
                           NotFoundException,
                           OperationFailedException,
                           PermissionDeniedException

Adds a root process.

Parameters:

processId - the Id of a process

Throws:

AlreadyExistsException - processId is already in hierarchy

NotFoundException - processId not found

NullArgumentException - processId is null

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

removeRootProcess

void removeRootProcess(Id processId)
                       throws NotFoundException,
                              OperationFailedException,
                              PermissionDeniedException

Removes a root process.

Parameters:

processId - the Id of a process

Throws:

NotFoundException - processId is not a root

NullArgumentException - processId is null

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

addChildProcess

void addChildProcess(Id processId,
                   Id childId)
                     throws AlreadyExistsException,
                            NotFoundException,
                            OperationFailedException,

Adds a child to a process.

Parameters:
