TPD_ConcreteJob
This is a new class, and each instance of this class represents a task.
RequestStateChange() Method
This method can be used to cancel a task. The input parameter RequestedState can only be
set to Terminate(4), since the HP 3PAR OS task framework only supports task canceling.
uint32 RequestStateChange(
[In, REQ,
Values {"Start", "Suspend", "Terminate", "Kill", "Service"},
ValueMap {"2", "3", "4", "5", "6"}]
Uint16 RequestedState,
[In] dateTime TimeoutPeriod);
• RequestedState: Changes the state of a job.
Start: changes the state to running; not supported.◦
◦ Suspend: stops the job temporarily which can be resumed; not supported.
◦ Terminate: stops the job cleanly and orderly; this is the only supported value.
◦ Kill: terminate the job immediately; not supported.
◦ Service: puts the job into a service state; not supported.
• TimeoutPeriod: A timeout period that specifies the maximum amount of time that the client
expects the transition to the new state to take. This is not supported and must be NULL.
