Introduction to the Qorus Job API

Job Class API

The job class APIs are documented here:

A job's job class must inherit one of:

This means that job code can call static methods defined in the base classes directly.

For library classes and other job code, calls must be prefixed with the class name (also for all Java code as well).

Job Qore Program Container

Each job has a single Qore Program object containing the code to be defined when the job trigger time arrives, as well as any objects imported into the Program object (classes, constants, and functions listed as attributes of the job when the job is defined). Job Program objects are restricted from using elements of the Qore language related to process and thread control; the use of these functions is either dangerous or could violate the integrity of the Qorus server process and therefore is restricted.

To enforce these restrictions, job Program objects are created with the following sandbox flags:

Directive Constant Description
%allow-weak-references Qore::PO_ALLOW_WEAK_REFERENCES the := operator may be used
%no-process-control Qore::PO_NO_PROCESS_CONTROL Functionality that affects the entire process is unavailable
%no-thread-control Qore::PO_NO_THREAD_CONTROL Thread management functionality is unavailable
%no-top-level Qore::PO_NO_TOP_LEVEL_STATEMENTS No code is allowed in the top-level statement (outside a function or class)
%require-our Qore::PO_REQUIRE_OUR All variables must be declared before use

Please note that despite these restrictions, job program objects have most of the Qore language API and class library available for use.

Furthermore, the following parse defines are defined:

Define Availability Description
Qorus W, S, J Identifies code in Qorus
QorusEE W, S, J Identifies the Enterprise Edition of Qorus (QorusCE is defined in the Community Edition)
QorusHasAlerts W, S, J Marks the availability of the alert API (Qorus 3.0+)
QorusHasTableCache W, S, J Marks the availability of the table cache API (Qorus 3.1+)
QorusHasUserConnections W, S, J Marks the availability of the connection API (Qorus 3.0+)
QorusJob S Identifies code used in a job Program container
QorusServer W, S, J Identifies code used in Qorus server interfaces

Each job's Program container is set up with the following imported objects:

In addition to the above, all public constants in the OMQ namespace are available.

Note
All defines set in qorus.defines (common to workflows, services, and jobs) are also set in job Program containers
