Using Host Communications to Send Commands

You need a working Red App project with an Activator class.

  1. Using Eclipse, add the following required dependencies:

    • com.sabre.edge.cf.core

    • com.sabre.edge.cf.model

    • com.sabre.edge.cf.host

  1. Add the following Java code to consume a service that is registered with SRWRuntime. Obtain a reference to ISRWCommunication service:

ISRWCommunication com = Activator.getDefault().getServiceReference(ISRWCommunication.class);

  1. Create an instance of HostServiceClient class or AggregatedResponseHostServiceClient if returns multiple reponses and call send() method with an instance of HostCommand class.

String command = "1LASLAX";
ClientResponse <HostResponse> rsp =new HostServiceClient(com).send(new HostCommand(command));

or

String command = "CFLAX/15FEB-20FEB/1P-1P/ECAR/ID-ZI1456D,ET564389";
ClientResponse <AggregatedHostResponse> rsp =
            new AggregatedResponseHostServiceClient(com).send(new HostCommand(command));

  1. Retrieve a response to ClientResponse<HostResponse> reference.   This class provides simply methods isSuccess() to check for status,   getErrors() retrieving errors (if occurred) and getPayload()to obtain a response.

if (rsp.isSuccess())
{
    showMessage(rsp.getPayload().getText());
}

or when  using AggregatedResponseHostServiceClient

if (rsp.isSuccess())
        {
            for(HostResponse response: rsp.getPayload().getResponses()) {
                appendMessage(response.getText());
            }
        }

  1. Create your redapp.xml configuration file and add an Authorization entry to the file to use the host communications service. For instance:

<Authorization name="com.sabre.edge.cf.host.AggregatedResponseCommunication" threshold="10" metric="tpm" />
<Authorization name="com.sabre.edge.cf.host.Communication" threshold="10" metric="tpm" />
