pullTopologyMapChunks

The pullTopologyMapChunks method retrieves one of the chunks that contain the response to a method.

Each chunk contains a topologyMap element that is part of the response. The first chunk is numbered 1, so the retrieval loop counter iterates from 1 to <response object>.getChunkInfo().getNumberOfChunks().

For details, see ChunkInfo and Query the CMDB.

The client application must be able to handle the partial maps. See the following example of handling a CI collection and the example of merging chunks to a map in Query Example.

Example of Handling Chunks: 

GetCIsByType request = 
     new GetCIsByType(cmdbContext, typeName, customProperties);
GetCIsByTypeResponse response = 
     ucmdbService.getCIsByType(request);
ChunkRequest chunkRequest = new ChunkRequest();
chunkRequest.setChunkInfo(response.getChunkInfo());
for(int j=1; j<=response.getChunkInfo().getNumberOfChunks(); j++){
    chunkRequest.setChunkNumber(j);
    PullTopologyMapChunks req =new PullTopologyMapChunks(cmdbContext,chunkRequest);
    PullTopologyMapChunksResponse res = 
        ucmdbService.pullTopologyMapChunks(req);
        for(int m=0 ; 
            m < res.getTopologyMap().getCINodes().sizeCINodeList();
            m++) { 
            CIs cis = 
            res.getTopologyMap().getCINodes().getCINode(m).getCIs();
            for(int i=0 ; i < cis.sizeCIList() ; i++) {
                // your code to process the CIs 
            }
        }
}

GetCIsByType request = 
     new GetCIsByType(cmdbContext, typeName, customProperties);
GetCIsByTypeResponse response = 
     ucmdbService.getCIsByType(request);
ChunkRequest chunkRequest = new ChunkRequest();
chunkRequest.setChunkInfo(response.getChunkInfo());
for(int j=1 ; j <= response.getChunkInfo().getNumberOfChunks() ; j++) {
    chunkRequest.setChunkNumber(j);
    PullTopologyMapChunks req = new PullTopologyMapChunks(cmdbContext, chunkRequest);
    PullTopologyMapChunksResponse res = 
        ucmdbService.pullTopologyMapChunks(req);
        for(int m=0 ; 
            m < res.getTopologyMap().getCINodes().getCINodes().size();
            m++) { 
            CIs cis = 
            res.getTopologyMap().getCINodes().getCINodes().get(m).getCIs();
            for(int i=0 ; i < cis.getCIs().size(); i++) {
                // your code to process the CIs 
            }
        }
}
