vcTransportSystem
Transport system is a management and query service for vcTransportNode and vcTransportLink objects that form a transportation graph. It is owned by a vcProcessController.
Properties
| Name | Type | Access | Description |
| ProcessController | vcProcessController | R | Parent controller that owns this system. |
| Nodes | List of vcTransportNode | R | Gets all transport nodes associated with this system. |
| Links | List of vcTransportLink | R |
Gets all transport links owned by this system. |
| Controllers | List of vcTransportController | R |
Gets all available transport controllers. Includes both system and user-implemented controllers. |
Methods
| Name | Return Type | Parameters | Description |
| createTransportLink | vcTransportLink |
vcTransportNode source, vcTransportNode destination, vcTransportController implementer, vcProcessFlowGroup group |
Creates a new transport link from source to destination node and registers it to the system. Source and destination have to be in this transport system and cannot be the same. |
| deleteTransportLink | None | vcTransportLink link |
Removes the given link from this system and deletes it. |
| createTransportSolution | vcTransportSolution | - |
Creates an empty transport solution. |
| findSolution | vcTransportSolution |
vcTransportNode source, vcTransportNode destination, vcProcessFlowGroup flowGroup |
Tries to find a valid route from source to destination, only considers links that support the given flow group. The route isn’t optimized. Returns None if a valid route doesn’t exist. |
| findAllLinksBetweenNodeSets | List of vcTransportLink |
List of vcTransportNode sourceNodes, List of vcTransportNode destinationNodes, vcProcessFlowGroup group |
Finds a set containing all links that are part of any valid path from any node in sourceNodes set to any node in the destinationNodes set. This can be used to e.g. check navigability between all implementations of two processes. The source and destination node sets can overlap. Only considers transport links that support the given flow group. |
Events
| Name | Parameters | Description |
| OnTransportControllerAdded | vcTransportController controller |
Event that occurs when a new transport controller has become available. |
| OnTransportControllerRemoving | vcTransportController controller |
Event that occurs when a transport controller is being removed. |
| OnTransportNodeAdded | vcTransportNode node |
Event that occurs when a new transport node has been added to this system. |
| OnTransportNodeRemoving | vcTransportNode node |
Event that occurs when the transport node is being removed from this system. |
| OnTransportLinkAdded | vcTransportLink link |
Event that occurs when a new transport link has been created to this system. |
| OnTransportLinkRemoving |
vcTransportLink link |
Event that occurs when a transport link is being deleted. |
| OnTransportLinkRemoved | vcProcessFlowGroup group, vcTransportNode source, vcTransportNode destination |
Event that occurs when a transport link has been deleted. |

Example. Create a new Transport Link.
