Method Detail

getOfficeId

Id getOfficeId()

Gets the Office Id associated with this session.

Returns:

the Office Id associated with this session

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

getOffice

Office getOffice()
                 throws OperationFailedException,
                        PermissionDeniedException

Gets the Office associated with this session.

Returns:

the office

Throws:

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

canAssignStepProcessors

boolean canAssignStepProcessors()

Tests if this user can alter step processor/step mappings. A return of true does not guarantee successful authorization. A return of false indicates that it is known mapping methods in this session will result in a PERMISSION_DENIED. This is intended as a hint to an application that may opt not to offer lookup operations to unauthorized users.

Returns:

false if mapping is not authorized, true otherwise

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

assignStepProcessorToStep

void assignStepProcessorToStep(Id stepProcessorId,
                             Id stepId)
                               throws AlreadyExistsException,
                                      NotFoundException,
                                      OperationFailedException,
                                      PermissionDeniedException

Adds an existing StepProcessor to a Step.

Parameters:

stepProcessorId - the Id of the StepProcessor

stepId - the Id of the Step

Throws:

AlreadyExistsException - stepProcessorId is already applied to stepId

NotFoundException - stepProcessorId or stepId not found

NullArgumentException - stepProcessorId or stepId is null

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

unassignStepProcessorFromStep

void unassignStepProcessorFromStep(Id stepProcessorId,
                                 Id stepId)
                                   throws NotFoundException,
                                          OperationFailedException,
                                          PermissionDeniedException

Removes a StepProcessor from a Step.

Parameters:

stepProcessorId - the Id of the StepProcessor

stepId - the Id of the Step

Throws:

NotFoundException - stepProcessorId or stepId not found or stepProcessorId not applied to stepId

NullArgumentException - stepProcessorId or stepId is null

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

canSequenceStepProcessors

boolean canSequenceStepProcessors()

Tests if this user can order StepProcessors. A return of true does not guarantee successful authorization. A return of false indicates that it is known sequencing operations will result in a PERMISSION_DENIED. This is intended as a hint to an application that may opt not to offer sequencing operations to an unauthorized user.

Returns:

false if StepProcessor ordering is not authorized, true otherwise

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

moveStepProcessorAhead

void moveStepProcessorAhead(Id stepProcessorId,
                          Id stepId,
                          Id referenceId)
                            throws NotFoundException,
                                   OperationFailedException,
                                   PermissionDeniedException

Reorders step processors for a step by moving the specified step processors in front of a reference step processors.

Parameters:

stepProcessorId - the Id of a StepProcessor

stepId - the Id of a Step

referenceId - the reference step processor Id

Throws:

NotFoundException - stepProcessorId, stepId, or referenceId not found or, stepProcessorId or referenceId not related to stepId

NullArgumentException - stepProcessorId, stepId, or referenceId is null

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

moveStepProcessorBehind

void moveStepProcessorBehind(Id stepProcessorId,
                           Id stepId,
                           Id referenceId)
                             throws NotFoundException,
                                    OperationFailedException,
                                    PermissionDeniedException

Reorders step processors for a step by moving the specified step processors behind a reference step processors.

Parameters:

stepProcessorId - the Id of a StepProcessor
