Summary
=======
o Implemented change request AALR-4EDG75 (GT Change Requests). This required adding additional
parameters to two RScheduler methods.
o Fixed defect EDNAWIR-4FQJ6A - "Registering twice with the task scheduler causes a memory leak"
(Symbian Defect Tracking v3.0)
o Fixed defect EDNAWIR-4FRFR6 - "Can't retrieve task data when target buffer is too big to hold
the data" (Symbian Defect Tracking v3.0)
o Fixed defect EDNAWIR-4FQGXP - "Cannot schedule new tasks when schedule server data file is
missing" (Symbian Defect Tracking v3.0)
o Fixed defect EDNAWIR-4GQN48 - "CClientProxy leaves with a "count" value" (Symbian Defect
Tracking v3.0)
API Changes
===========
TTime& aNextDue is new - This returns the next time a task/shedule is due.
TInt RScheduler::GetScheduleL(const TInt aScheduleHandle, TScheduleState& aState,
CArrayFixFlat<TScheduleEntryInfo>& aEntries,
CArrayFixFlat<TTaskInfo>& aTasks,
TTime& aNextDue);
TTime& aNextDue, TSchedulerItemRef& aRef are new - This returns the Schedule reference
for the taskId provided as parameter one, and also the next due time for this schedule.
TInt RScheduler::GetTaskInfoL(const TInt aTaskId, TTaskInfo& aTaskInfo, TPtr8& aTaskData,
TSchedulerItemRef& aRef, TTime& aNextDue);
Source Changes
==============
o Added TScheduleBackup::OpenStoreOrCreateLC(...) which attempts to open the schedule
store, or if it doesn't exist, recreates it (schstore.cpp/h).
Updated TScheduleBackup to use this new method rather than opening the store explicitly.
o Amended CSchSession::RegisterClientL(...) to delete any existing iClient instance should
the client session have already registered previously (fixes memory leak).
o Added two new tests to tsch.cpp project, one to check the added Change Request functionality,
and the other, an additional task Id test.
o Added THelpers.cpp/h to provide support methods for the TSch test project.
Testing
=======
All tests pass under WINS.
Building
========
All projects for this component build for all platforms.
To Do
=====
o testOOM<...> is bugged and no longer works due to the addition of error logging. This is not
a defect in the logging, but a defect in the test code.
o The tests are based heavily on timing. This prevents satisfactory testing on a target device.
Update the test exe and test code to use a semaphore to indicate successful exection rather than
relying on a timed delay.
Release 005
-----------
By AlexW 22 November 1999
Added functionality to report and store task launching, and return value errors
to the log engine by implementing CClientProxy::FailedToExecute().
Changes
-------
1) Renamed FailedToExecute() to FailedToExecuteL() as this method allocates memory and
may potentially leave.
2) Added new mixin MExecutorErrorHandler to the task executor header file (schexec.h).
The CClientProxy now implements the virtual function defined within this class, and
the task executor now requires a reference to this class during construction (this is
not an optional mixin). Should an error be returned by the launched task, then the
virtual function implemented by this mixin is called and error cleanup may occur.
3) Added new (private) active object, CLogSubmitter, to the CClientProxy class which
manages the submission of the log event to the log server (submission occurs
asynchronously). The active object waits for the completion of the submission, and
after completion has occurred, the CLogEvent object is destroyed.
In order to start the submission process, the active scheduler must be started.
Due to the nature of the task manager, the next active object to have its RunL
called is not necessarily the CLogSubmitter (another task may be scheduled to run
instead).
Because potentially many tasks may be executed in parallel, multiple errors may
occur at the same time for any single client. This therefore requires a nested
start of the active scheduler when the CClientProxy::iLogSubmitter is already active.
4) In order to store a contextual error message in the log, FailedToExecuteL() now
has another overload. This simply takes two parameters, the first being the error
code, and the second the error message to write to the log.
As the contextual error message can only be defined at the point in time immediately
before the tasks are executed, the error message is prepared by the CClientProxy
class (in CClientProxy::BuildTaskErrorMessageL(...)) and is subsequently 'given'
to the CTaskExecutor so that (should an error occur) it can inform the CClientProxy,
by way of the MExecutorErrorHandler mixin, of the error that occurred and the appropriate
message to write to the log.
Changed a lot of source files to use _LIT rather than #defined'd _Ls
Also correctly capitalized full paths in some source files (i.e. "C:\system" => "C:\System").
