Managing Activity Queues | Sun Microsystems 3 specs

Managing Process Execution with Conductor Script

5.Use the ShowActivity command to display information about a particular activity.

The output shows information about the activity, its attributes and its linked timers. You can get further information about these objects using their corresponding Show command.

➤To change the state of an activity

1.Display a list of activities as described in Step 1 through Step 4 above.

2.Use the ShowActivity command to display information about a particular activity.

3.Use the AbortActivity, ReadyActivity, or RollbackActivity command to abort an activity, change its state from PENDING to READY, or change its state from ACTIVE to READY.

Managing Activity Queues

➤To list the contents of an activity queue

1.Use the FindEngine command to make a particular engine current.

2.Use the ListActivityQueues command to display a list of queues in the current engine.

3.Use the CreateFilter command to filter the list of queues, if desired.

4.Use the ShowActivityQueue command to display a list of activities in a specified queue.

This command displays information about the activities in the queue. You can get further information about these activities using the ShowActivity command.

➤To reprioritize an activity in a queue

1.Display a list of activities in a queue as described in Step 1 through Step 4 above.

2.Use the ShowActivity command to display information about a particular activity.

3.Use the SetQueuedActivityPriority command to change the value of the queue prioritizing process attribute for the activity. The engine reorders the queue.
