public interface IDataCollectorBaseLauncher

Represents a common interface that is used to launch a data collector with a set of analysis types. The launch decesion tree appears below. The tree is broken down into the following interfaces:

IDataCollectorBaseLauncher	isMutualLauncher()
IDataCollectorSelfManageableLauncher	launch()
IDataCollectorMutualLauncher	preLaunch() isProcessLauncher() prepareAgentLaunch() postLaunch()
IDataCollectorProcessLauncher	createProcess() addProcessParameters()
IDataCollectorAgentLauncher	prepareAgentLaunch()

 +createNode() or createProcess() will not be called if an earlier delegate has already created 
 the node/process.
 

Method Summary

boolean

isMutualLauncher() Returns true if the launcher wishes to manage the launch process itself rather than have the primary launcher code handling it; false otherwise

Method Detail

isMutualLauncher

public boolean isMutualLauncher()

Returns true if the launcher wishes to manage the launch process itself rather than have the primary launcher code handling it; false otherwise

Returns:

A boolean indicating whether launch should be handled without the involvement of the general launch delegate
