      Parameters:
      oldProperties - original property values

      Returns:
      comma separated list of property names where the value has changed
    • initiateProcess

      protected void initiateProcess(String processName, Map<String,String> requestParameters, List<NewActionTarget> actionTargets) throws GovernanceServiceException
      Initiates the request for the new process to start if a process name has been configured.
      Parameters:
      processName - name of the process to start
      requestParameters - parameters to pass to the process
      actionTargets - the elements that this process should work on
      Throws:
      GovernanceServiceException - unable to start the process
    • disconnect

      public void disconnect() throws ConnectorCheckedException
      Disconnect is called either because this governance action service called governanceContext.recordCompletionStatus() or the administrator requested this governance action service stop running or the hosting server is shutting down. If disconnect completes before the governance action service records its completion status then the governance action service is restarted either at the administrator's request or the next time the server starts. If you do not want this governance action service restarted, be sure to record the completion status in disconnect(). The disconnect() method is a standard method from the Open Connector Framework (OCF). If you need to override this method be sure to call super.disconnect() in your version.
      Overrides:
      disconnect in class WatchdogGovernanceActionService
      Throws:
      ConnectorCheckedException - there is a problem within the governance action service.
