ecflow.Date

class ecflow.Date

Bases: instance

Used to define a date dependency.

There can be multiple Date dependencies for a node. Any of the 3 attributes, i.e. day, month, year can be wild carded using a zero If a hybrid clock is defined on a suite, any node held by a date dependency will be set to complete at the beginning of the suite, without the task ever being dispatched otherwise, the suite would never complete.

Constructor:

Date(string)
   string : * means wild card
Date(day,month,year)
   int day   : represents the day, zero means wild card. day >= 0 & day < 31
   int month : represents the month, zero means wild card. month >= 0 & month < 12
   int year  : represents the year, zero means wild card. year >= 0

Exceptions:

• raises IndexError when an invalid date is specified

Usage:

date = Date(11,12,2010)  # represent 11th of December 2010
date = Date(1,0,0);      # means the first day of every month of every year
t = Task('t1',
          Date('1.*.*'));  # Create Date in place.

Date.day((Date)arg1) → int :

Return the day. The range is 0-31, 0 means its wild-carded

Date.month((Date)arg1) → int :

Return the month. The range is 0-12, 0 means its wild-carded

Date.year((Date)arg1) → int :

Return the year, 0 means its wild-carded
