Module Tasking.Task_Manager
Tasking - This module contains the TASK_MANAGER class and derived classes.
1) Tasking.Task_Manager#TASK_MANAGER class, extends Core.Fsm#FSM
The Tasking.Task_Manager#TASK_MANAGER class defines the core functions to report tasks to groups. Reportings can be done in several manners, and it is up to the derived classes if TASK_MANAGER to model the reporting behaviour.
1.1) TASK_MANAGER constructor:
* Tasking.Task_Manager#TASK_MANAGER.New(): Create a new TASK_MANAGER instance.
1.2) TASK_MANAGER reporting:
Derived TASK_MANAGER classes will manage tasks using the method Tasking.Task_Manager#TASK_MANAGER.ManageTasks(). This method implements polymorphic behaviour.
The time interval in seconds of the task management can be changed using the methods Tasking.Task_Manager#TASK_MANAGER.SetRefreshTimeInterval(). To control how long a reporting message is displayed, use Tasking.Task_Manager#TASK_MANAGER.SetReportDisplayTime(). Derived classes need to implement the method Tasking.Task_Manager#TASK_MANAGER.GetReportDisplayTime() to use the correct display time for displayed messages during a report.
Task management can be started and stopped using the methods Tasking.Task_Manager#TASK_MANAGER.StartTasks() and Tasking.Task_Manager#TASK_MANAGER.StopTasks() respectively. If an ad-hoc report is requested, use the method Tasking.Task_Manager#TASK_MANAGER().
The default task management interval is every 60 seconds.
Developer Note
Note while this class still works, it is no longer supported as the original author stopped active development of MOOSE Therefore, this class is considered to be deprecated

The Schedule ID of the planned schedule.
Schedule a new time event.
Note that the schedule will only take place if the scheduler is started. Even for a single schedule event, the scheduler needs to be started also.
Defined in:
Parameters:
#number Start
Specifies the amount of seconds that will be waited before the scheduling is started, and the event function is called.
#number Repeat
Specifies the interval in seconds when the scheduler will call the event function.
#number RandomizeFactor
Specifies a randomization factor between 0 and 1 to randomize the Repeat.
#number Stop
Specifies the amount of seconds when the scheduler will be stopped.
#function SchedulerFunction
The event function to be called when a timer event occurs. The event function needs to accept the parameters specified in SchedulerArguments.
#table ...
Optional arguments that can be given as part of scheduler. The arguments need to be given as a table { param1, param 2, ... }.
Return value:
#string:
The Schedule ID of the planned schedule.
Stops the Schedule.
Defined in:
Parameter:
#string SchedulerID
(Optional) Scheduler ID to be stopped. If nil, all pending schedules are stopped.
Set the Class Core.Event processing Priority.
The Event processing Priority is a number from 1 to 10, reflecting the order of the classes subscribed to the Event to be processed.
Set a state or property of the Object given a Key and a Value.
Note that if the Object is destroyed, set to nil, or garbage collected, then the Values and Keys will also be gone.
Defined in:
Parameters:
Object
The object that will hold the Value set by the Key.
Key
The key that is used as a reference of the value. Note that the key can be a #string, but it can also be any other type!
Value
The value to is stored in the object.
Return value:
The Value set.
Trace a function logic level 1.
Can be anywhere within the function logic.
Trace a function logic level 2.
Can be anywhere within the function logic.
Trace a function logic level 3.
Can be anywhere within the function logic.
Trace all methods in MOOSE
Set tracing for a class
Set tracing for a specific method of class
Set trace off.
Set trace on.
Set trace on or off Note that when trace is off, no BASE.Debug statement is performed, increasing performance! When Moose is loaded statically, (as one file), tracing is switched off by default.
So tracing must be switched on manually in your mission if you are using Moose statically. When moose is loading dynamically (for moose class development), tracing is switched on by default.
Defined in:
Parameter:
#boolean TraceOnOff
Switch the tracing on or off.
Usage:
-- Switch the tracing On
BASE:TraceOnOff( true )
-- Switch the tracing Off
BASE:TraceOnOff( false )
