Implementation
Components
- The solution implements a job
sorterthat can be added to the top of any job chain.- This job implements a
spooler_process()function that suspends all incoming orders. - This job is configured for one task and with an idle timeout attribute, i.e. it executes incoming orders sequentually.
- After the last order this job waits for the duration specified with the
idle_timeoutattribute for new orders.- The idle timeout is configured by
<job idle_timeout="10">with thesorterjob definition. - With the idle timeout being expired this job will execute its
spooler_exit()function and will sort all orders that have previously been suspended.- Sorting is done in alphabetical order.
- The orders are reinserted to the next job node that follows the
sorterjob in the job chain.
- The idle timeout is configured by
- This job implements a
- The sample included makes use of a job chain
job_chain1that includes the job nodes for thesorterjob and ahellojob.
