Windchill PDMlink Queue Customization.

To create a queue you can use the following java code.

public static ScheduleQueue createScheduleQueueIfNecessary(String queueName) throws WTException {

ScheduleQueue sq = (ScheduleQueue) QueueHelper.manager.getQueue(queueName, ScheduleQueue.class);

logger.debug("ScheduledQueue '" + queueName + "' exists? sq=" + sq);

//create queue itself if necessary

if (sq == null) {

sq = QueueHelper.manager.createScheduleQueue(queueName);

logger.debug("created ScheduledQueue '" + queueName + "': sq=" + sq);

}

return sq;

}

And to create an entry in this queue the following method can be used

public static void addNewScheduleQueueEntry(ScheduleQueue sq, String className, String methodName, Timestamp nextTime, String message) throws WTException {

//Adding an entry

Class[] argTypes = {String.class};

Object[] args = {message};

WTPrincipal administrator = SessionHelper.manager.getAdministrator();

WTPrincipal previous = SessionContext.setEffectivePrincipal(administrator);

try {

sq.addEntry(administrator, methodName, className, argTypes, args, nextTime);

logger.debug("added new queueEntry to call '" + className + "." + methodName + "' nextScheduledTime=" + nextTime);

} finally {

SessionContext.setEffectivePrincipal(previous);

}

}
