*********************
Advanced Queuing (AQ)
*********************
See :ref:`aqusermanual` for more information about using AQ in cx_Oracle.
.. note::
All of these objects are extensions to the DB API.
.. _queue:
------
Queues
------
These objects are created using the :meth:`Connection.queue()` method and are
used to enqueue and dequeue messages.
.. attribute:: Queue.connection
This read-only attribute returns a reference to the connection object on
which the queue was created.
.. method:: Queue.deqMany(maxMessages)
Dequeues up to the specified number of messages from the queue and returns
a list of these messages. Each element of the returned list is a
:ref:`message property<msgproperties>` object.
.. method:: Queue.deqOne()
Dequeues at most one message from the queue. If a message is dequeued, it
will be a :ref:`message property<msgproperties>` object; otherwise, it will
be the value None.
.. attribute:: Queue.deqOptions
This read-only attribute returns a reference to the :ref:`options
<deqoptions>` that will be used when dequeuing messages from the queue.
.. method:: Queue.enqOne(message)
Enqueues a single message into the queue. The message must be a
:ref:`message property<msgproperties>` object which has had its payload
attribute set to a value that the queue supports.
.. method:: Queue.enqMany(messages)
Enqueues multiple messages into the queue. The messages parameter must be a
sequence containing :ref:`message property <msgproperties>` objects which
have all had their payload attribute set to a value that the queue
supports.
Warning: calling this function in parallel on different connections
acquired from the same pool may fail due to Oracle bug 29928074. Ensure
that this function is not run in parallel, use standalone connections or
connections from different pools, or make multiple calls to
:meth:`Queue.enqOne()` instead. The function :meth:`Queue.deqMany()`
call is not affected.
.. attribute:: Queue.enqOptions
This read-only attribute returns a reference to the :ref:`options
<enqoptions>` that will be used when enqueuing messages into the queue.
.. attribute:: Queue.name
This read-only attribute returns the name of the queue.
.. attribute:: Queue.payloadType
This read-only attribute returns the object type for payloads that can be
enqueued and dequeued. If using a raw queue, this returns the value None.
.. _deqoptions:
---------------
Dequeue Options
---------------
.. note::
These objects are used to configure how messages are dequeued from queues.
An instance of this object is found in the attribute
:attr:`Queue.deqOptions`.
.. attribute:: DeqOptions.condition
This attribute specifies a boolean expression similar to the where clause
of a SQL query. The boolean expression can include conditions on message
properties, user data properties and PL/SQL or SQL functions. The default
is to have no condition specified.
.. attribute:: DeqOptions.consumername
This attribute specifies the name of the consumer. Only messages matching
the consumer name will be accessed. If the queue is not set up for multiple
consumers this attribute should not be set. The default is to have no
consumer name specified.
.. attribute:: DeqOptions.correlation
This attribute specifies the correlation identifier of the message to be
dequeued. Special pattern-matching characters, such as the percent sign (%)
and the underscore (_), can be used. If multiple messages satisfy the
pattern, the order of dequeuing is indeterminate. The default is to have no
correlation specified.
.. attribute:: DeqOptions.deliverymode
This write-only attribute specifies what types of messages should be
dequeued. It should be one of the values :data:`~cx_Oracle.MSG_PERSISTENT`
(default), :data:`~cx_Oracle.MSG_BUFFERED` or
:data:`~cx_Oracle.MSG_PERSISTENT_OR_BUFFERED`.
.. attribute:: DeqOptions.mode
This attribute specifies the locking behaviour associated with the dequeue
operation. It should be one of the values :data:`~cx_Oracle.DEQ_BROWSE`,
:data:`~cx_Oracle.DEQ_LOCKED`,
:data:`~cx_Oracle.DEQ_REMOVE` (default), or
:data:`~cx_Oracle.DEQ_REMOVE_NODATA`.
.. attribute:: DeqOptions.msgid
This attribute specifies the identifier of the message to be dequeued. The
default is to have no message identifier specified.
.. attribute:: DeqOptions.navigation
This attribute specifies the position of the message that is retrieved. It
should be one of the values :data:`~cx_Oracle.DEQ_FIRST_MSG`,
:data:`~cx_Oracle.DEQ_NEXT_MSG` (default), or
:data:`~cx_Oracle.DEQ_NEXT_TRANSACTION`.
.. attribute:: DeqOptions.transformation
This attribute specifies the name of the transformation that must be
applied after the message is dequeued from the database but before it is
returned to the calling application. The transformation must be created
using dbms_transform. The default is to have no transformation specified.
.. attribute:: DeqOptions.visibility
This attribute specifies the transactional behavior of the dequeue request.
It should be one of the values :data:`~cx_Oracle.DEQ_ON_COMMIT` (default)
or :data:`~cx_Oracle.DEQ_IMMEDIATE`. This attribute is ignored when using
the :data:`~cx_Oracle.DEQ_BROWSE` mode. Note the value of
:attr:`~Connection.autocommit` is always ignored.
.. attribute:: DeqOptions.wait
This attribute specifies the time to wait, in seconds, for a message
matching the search criteria to become available for dequeuing. One of the
values :data:`~cx_Oracle.DEQ_NO_WAIT` or
:data:`~cx_Oracle.DEQ_WAIT_FOREVER` can also be used. The default is
:data:`~cx_Oracle.DEQ_WAIT_FOREVER`.
.. _enqoptions:
---------------
Enqueue Options
---------------
.. note::
These objects are used to configure how messages are enqueued into queues.
An instance of this object is found in the attribute
:attr:`Queue.enqOptions`.
.. attribute:: EnqOptions.deliverymode
This write-only attribute specifies what type of messages should be
enqueued. It should be one of the values :data:`~cx_Oracle.MSG_PERSISTENT`
(default) or :data:`~cx_Oracle.MSG_BUFFERED`.
.. attribute:: EnqOptions.transformation
This attribute specifies the name of the transformation that must be
applied before the message is enqueued into the database. The
transformation must be created using dbms_transform. The default is to have
no transformation specified.
.. attribute:: EnqOptions.visibility
This attribute specifies the transactional behavior of the enqueue request.
It should be one of the values :data:`~cx_Oracle.ENQ_ON_COMMIT` (default)
or :data:`~cx_Oracle.ENQ_IMMEDIATE`. Note the value of
:attr:`~Connection.autocommit` is ignored.
.. _msgproperties:
------------------
Message Properties
------------------
.. note::
These objects are used to identify the properties of messages that are
enqueued and dequeued in queues. They are created by the method
:meth:`Connection.msgproperties()`. They are used by the methods
:meth:`Queue.enqOne()` and :meth:`Queue.enqMany()` and
returned by the methods :meth:`Queue.deqOne()` and :meth:`Queue.deqMany()`.
.. attribute:: MessageProperties.attempts
This read-only attribute specifies the number of attempts that have been
made to dequeue the message.
.. attribute:: MessageProperties.correlation
This attribute specifies the correlation used when the message was
enqueued.
.. attribute:: MessageProperties.delay
This attribute specifies the number of seconds to delay an enqueued
message. Any integer is acceptable but the constant
:data:`~cx_Oracle.MSG_NO_DELAY` can also be used indicating that the
message is available for immediate dequeuing.
.. attribute:: MessageProperties.deliverymode
This read-only attribute specifies the type of message that was dequeued.
It will be one of the values :data:`~cx_Oracle.MSG_PERSISTENT` or
:data:`~cx_Oracle.MSG_BUFFERED`.
.. attribute:: MessageProperties.enqtime
This read-only attribute specifies the time that the message was enqueued.
.. attribute:: MessageProperties.exceptionq
This attribute specifies the name of the queue to which the message is
moved if it cannot be processed successfully. Messages are moved if the
number of unsuccessful dequeue attempts has exceeded the maximum number of
retries or if the message has expired. All messages in the exception queue
are in the :data:`~cx_Oracle.MSG_EXPIRED` state. The default value is the
name of the exception queue associated with the queue table.
.. attribute:: MessageProperties.expiration
This attribute specifies, in seconds, how long the message is available for
dequeuing. This attribute is an offset from the delay attribute. Expiration
processing requires the queue monitor to be running. Any integer is
accepted but the constant :data:`~cx_Oracle.MSG_NO_EXPIRATION` can also be
used indicating that the message never expires.
.. attribute:: MessageProperties.msgid
This attribute specifies the id of the message in the last queue that
generated this message.
.. attribute:: MessageProperties.payload
This attribute identifies the payload that will be enqueued or the payload
that was dequeued when using a :ref:`queue <queue>`. When enqueuing, the
value is checked to ensure that it conforms to the type expected by that
queue. For RAW queues, the value can be a bytes object or a string. If the
value is a string it will first be converted to bytes by encoding in the
encoding identified by the attribute :attr:`Connection.encoding`.
.. attribute:: MessageProperties.priority
This attribute specifies the priority of the message. A smaller number
indicates a higher priority. The priority can be any integer, including
negative numbers. The default value is zero.
.. attribute:: MessageProperties.state
This read-only attribute specifies the state of the message at the time of
the dequeue. It will be one of the values :data:`~cx_Oracle.MSG_WAITING`,
:data:`~cx_Oracle.MSG_READY`, :data:`~cx_Oracle.MSG_PROCESSED` or
:data:`~cx_Oracle.MSG_EXPIRED`.
