Method Detail

getAssemblyLine

AssemblyLine getAssemblyLine()
                             throws DIException

Returns:
this AssemblyLine.
Throws:
DIException - if an error occurs while retrieving the AssemblyLine.

executeCycle

Entry executeCycle(Entry aEntry,
                   boolean aProcessTCB)
                   throws DIException

the work entry at the end of the cycle.
Throws:
DIException - if an error occurs while executing the AssemblyLine.

executeCycle

Entry executeCycle(Entry aEntry)
                   throws DIException

Parameters:
aEntry - the work entry to use, or null to use an empty work entry/iterator entry.
Returns:
the work entry at the end of the cycle.
Throws:
DIException - if an error occurs while executing the AssemblyLine.

executeCycle

Entry executeCycle()
                   throws DIException
Executes an AssemblyLine cycle with null work Entry attribute.

Returns:
the work entry at the end of the cycle
Throws:
DIException - if an error occurs while executing the AssemblyLine.

close

void close()
           throws DIException
Closes an AssemblyLine.

Throws:
