Method Detail

perform

public net.java.jddac.common.type.ArgArray perform(java.lang.String server_operation_id,
                                                   net.java.jddac.common.type.ArgArray server_input_arguments)
                                            throws java.lang.Exception,
                                                   net.java.jddac.common.exception.OpException

Passes each ArgArray value with in the ArgArray argument to each child FunctionBlock seperatly using the same server_operation_id For Example:

 ArgArray {
 "nameA": ArgArray {
           "name1": Measurement
           "name2": Measurement
           ...
         }
"nameB": ArgArray {
           "name3": Measurement
           "name4": Measurement
           ...
         }
 }

 This block passes these values to each child function it to:
 ArgArray {
   "name1": Measurement
   "name2": Measurement
   ...
 }

ArgArray {
   "name3": Measurement
   "name4": Measurement
   ...
 }
   
 

Overrides:

perform in class RelayBlock

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

net.java.jddac.common.exception.OpException

A ddan IFunction to a relay block.

Overrides:

addFunction in class RelayBlock

Parameters:

argArray - An ArgArray containing the needed keys-value pairs
