Configuration

Connections

Virtual Connection - Main

This connector uses a virtual connection and does not require any input during element creation.

Initialization

No additional configuration of parameters is required in a newly created element. However, you can optionally define the amount of time after which the locks are automatically released (1 hour by default).

How to use

The connector only works in conjunction with the Skyline.DataMiner.ConnectorAPI.FinnishBroadcastingCompanyLockManager NuGet package. This package is used from an automation script or connector to lock and unlock orders and events. Internally, InterApp messages are used to facilitate the communication.

The locks are stored in memory by an element using this connector.

The active locks are visible on the General page of the element. Clicking the Release Lock button will release the lock.

Note

Requesting or releasing a lock on an order will update the IsLocked reservation property accordingly. The property changes are triggered from the connector.

Example

using Skyline.DataMiner.ConnectorAPI.FinnishBroadcastingCompanyLockManager;

var element = IDms.GetElementsByProtocol(LockManagerElement.LockManager_ProtocolName).First();
LockManagerElement cachedLockManagerElement = new LockManagerElement(IDms.Connection, element.AgentId, element.Id);

LockManagerElement.LockOrder(orderId, username);
LockManagerElement.LockEvent(eventId, username);

// Do logic here while objects are locked

LockManagerElement.UnlockOrder(orderId);
LockManagerElement.UnlockEvent(eventId);
