Member Function Documentation

void Broker::Policy::Activate (  in TaskList  tasks  )

Activate the policy. NOTE: The policy is expected to discover and adjust the scheduling parameters of any currently executing tasks. See also: Deactivate Parameters: tasks  The list of tasks the policy needs to manage. Exceptions: CORBA::BAD_INV_ORDER  if the method is called without intervening calls to Deactivate().

void Broker::Policy::AddTask (  in Task  new_task  )

Add a task to an active policy. NOTE: This method will be called before the reservation is made, giving the policy a chance to adjust any values. See also: RemoveTask Parameters: new_task  The newly created Task object. Exceptions: CORBA::BAD_PARAM  if task is nil. CORBA::BAD_PARAM  if task has already been added. CORBA::BAD_INV_ORDER  if the method is called without Activate() being called first.

void Broker::Policy::ChangeTaskCPU (  in RealTimeTask  task, in unsigned long  ct, in unsigned long  status, in unsigned long  advice )  raises (InvalidState)

Parameters: task  The Task object requesting a CPU time change. ct  The Task's current CPU time. status  The status value reported by Task.ReportCPU(). advice  The CPU time advice from the Task object.

void Broker::Policy::Deactivate (   )

Deactivate an active policy. NOTE: The policy should change any scheduling parameters of the currently executing tasks, the next policy to be activated will handle any changes. See also: Deactivate Exceptions: CORBA::BAD_INV_ORDER  if the method is called on an inactive policy.

void Broker::Policy::RemoveTask (  in Task  added_task  )

Remove a task from an active policy. NOTE: This method will be called after the reservation has been destroyed, so it can safely reallocate the newly freed CPU time. See also: AddTask Parameters: added_task  The task to remove. Exceptions: CORBA::BAD_PARAM  if task is nil. CORBA::BAD_PARAM  if task has already been removed. CORBA::BAD_INV_ORDER  if the method is called without Activate() being called first.
