                 throws DIException,
                        RemoteException
Register a listener for AssemblyLine events. You must be admin to execute this method. Beware that there is no automatic removal of orphaned listeners.

Parameters:
listener - Listener for AssemblyLine events.
getLogs - If true, the listener will receive logged messages.
getEntryOnEachCycle - If true the listener will receive the current entry at each AssemblyLine cycle's end.
Throws:
DIException - if the listener cannot be registered.
RemoteException - if connection error occurs.

removeListener(AssemblyLineListener)

removeListener

void removeListener(AssemblyLineListener listener)
                    throws DIException,
                           RemoteException

Unregister a listener for AssemblyLine events. You must be admin to execute this method. Listeners are associated with the API object, not with the AssemblyLine in the Server, so you can remove only listeners added with the #addListener(AssemblyLineListener, boolean) method on the same object.

Beware that the listener may get notified one more time after it was unregistered. The only way to ensure this does not happen is to unregister the listener in one of its callback methods.

Parameters:
listener - The listener that needs to be removed.
Throws:
DIException - if the listener cannot be unregistered.
RemoteException - if connection error occurs.
Since:
7.0

#addListener(AssemblyLineListener, boolean)

                           RemoteException
Attach a debugger to the AssemblyLine. You must be admin to execute this method.

Parameters:
port - Port of the debugger.
host - Host of the debugger.
onerror - If true breakpoints are disabled except when there is an error.
Throws:
DIException - If the AssemblyLine is already being debugged or the AssemblyLine cannot connect to the debugger.

getComponentDebugMode

boolean getComponentDebugMode(String componentName)
                              throws DIException,
                                     RemoteException
Query the debug mode setting of the specified component (Connector or Function Component). You must be admin to execute this method. A component will log debug level messages only if it is in debug mode. You can find out the names of the AssemblyLine components from the configuration - getConfig().

Parameters:
componentName - The name of a Connector or a Function Component from this AssemblyLine. Must be spelled exactly as it appears in the configuration.
Returns:
The debug mode of the component.
Throws:
DIException - If an error occurs while querying the debug mode.
RemoteException - If connection error occurs.

setComponentDebugMode

void setComponentDebugMode(String componentName,
                           boolean debug)
                           throws DIException,
                                  RemoteException
Modify the debug mode setting of the specified component (Connector or Function Component). You must be admin to execute this method. Modifications are done on the fly and are not persisted in the configuration - getConfig(). If you run the same AssemblyLine again it will use the settings from the configuration.

Parameters:
componentName - The name of a Connector or a Function Component from this AssemblyLine.
debug - The new debug mode of the component.
Throws:
DIException - If an error occurs while setting the debug mode.
RemoteException - If connection error occurs.
Since:
7.0
