                                     long minTimeVal)

Loads the status level, usage level and dynamic parameters from the newest items in the history archive.

Parameters:

paramValuesObj - object that implements the parameter-values interface.

sLevelTableObj - status-level table to use.

uLevelTableObj - usage-level table to use.

agentsTable - table of agent objects to use.

minTimeVal - minimum-acceptable time value for loaded parameters (in seconds since 1/1/1970).

preloadAndEnableLevelsCache

public void preloadAndEnableLevelsCache(ParamValues paramValuesObj,
                                        long baseTimeVal,
                                        StatusLevelTable sLevelTableObj,
                                        UsageLevelTable uLevelTableObj)

Preloads the station-levels cache from the history archive and enables it.

Parameters:

paramValuesObj - object that implements the parameter-values interface.

baseTimeVal - base time value for cache (seconds since 1/1/1970).

sLevelTableObj - status-level table for cache.

uLevelTableObj - usage-level table for cache.

getCacheLevelsAtTimeStr

public java.lang.String getCacheLevelsAtTimeStr(long timeVal)

Returns a string containing the status and usage level names for the given time value, fetched from the levels cache.

Parameters:

timeVal - requested time value (seconds since 1/1/1970).

Returns:

An ASCII string formatted as follows: NNNN:SSSSS,UUUUU where NNNN is the station name, SSSSS is the status level tag name and UUUUU is the usage level tag name; or an empty string if the levels cache is not enabled.

purgeOldLevelsCacheEntries

public void purgeOldLevelsCacheEntries(long timeVal)

Purges entries from the station-levels cache that are older than the given time value. The newest older item is left in the cache (so it is available for the 'getCacheLevelsAtTimeStr()' method).

Parameters:

timeVal - purge time value (seconds since 1/1/1970).

closeParamHistories

public void closeParamHistories()

Closes the history tracking for the parameters for this station, releasing resources allocated by their archive managers.
