    • Enum Constant Summary

      Enum Constants 
      Enum Constant Description
      COMPILING
      Signifies that the intent is being compiled into installable intents.
      CORRUPT
      Signifies that an intent has failed either installation or withdrawal, and still hold some or all of its resources.
      FAILED
      Signifies that the intent has failed to be installed and cannot be satisfied given current network conditions.
      INSTALL_REQ
      Signifies that the intent has been submitted and will start compiling shortly.
      INSTALLED
      The intent has been successfully installed.
      INSTALLING
      Signifies that the resulting installable intents are being installed into the network environment.
      PURGE_REQ
      Indicates that the intent should be purged from the database.
      REALLOCATING
      Indicates that the intent is being reallocated in a non-disruptive way NonDisruptiveConstraint.
      RECOMPILING
      Signifies that the intent is being recompiled into installable intents as an attempt to adapt to an anomaly in the network environment.
      WITHDRAW_REQ
      Indicates that an application has requested that an intent be withdrawn.
      WITHDRAWING
      Indicates that the intent is being withdrawn.
      WITHDRAWN
      Indicates that the intent has been successfully withdrawn.
    • Enum Constant Detail

      • INSTALL_REQ

        public static final IntentState INSTALL_REQ
        Signifies that the intent has been submitted and will start compiling shortly. However, this compilation may not necessarily occur on the local controller instance.

        All intent in the runtime take this state first.

        Intents will also pass through this state when they are updated.

      • COMPILING

        public static final IntentState COMPILING
        Signifies that the intent is being compiled into installable intents. This is a transitional state after which the intent will enter either FAILED state or INSTALLING state.
      • INSTALLING

        public static final IntentState INSTALLING
        Signifies that the resulting installable intents are being installed into the network environment. This is a transitional state after which the intent will enter either INSTALLED state or RECOMPILING state.
      • INSTALLED

        public static final IntentState INSTALLED
        The intent has been successfully installed. This is a state where the intent may remain parked until it is withdrawn by the application or until the network environment changes in some way to make the original set of installable intents untenable.
      • RECOMPILING

        public static final IntentState RECOMPILING
        Signifies that the intent is being recompiled into installable intents as an attempt to adapt to an anomaly in the network environment. This is a transitional state after which the intent will enter either FAILED state or INSTALLING state.

        Exit to the FAILED state may be caused by failure to compile or by compiling into the same set of installable intents which have previously failed to be installed.

      • WITHDRAW_REQ

        public static final IntentState WITHDRAW_REQ
        Indicates that an application has requested that an intent be withdrawn. It will start withdrawing shortly, but not necessarily on this instance. Intents can also be parked here if it is impossible to withdraw them.
      • WITHDRAWING

        public static final IntentState WITHDRAWING
        Indicates that the intent is being withdrawn. This is a transitional state, triggered by invocation of the IntentService.withdraw(Intent) but one with only one outcome, which is the the intent being placed in the WITHDRAWN state.
      • WITHDRAWN

        public static final IntentState WITHDRAWN
        Indicates that the intent has been successfully withdrawn.
      • FAILED

        public static final IntentState FAILED
        Signifies that the intent has failed to be installed and cannot be satisfied given current network conditions. But, the framework will reattempt to install it when network conditions change until it is withdrawn by an application.
      • CORRUPT

        public static final IntentState CORRUPT
        Signifies that an intent has failed either installation or withdrawal, and still hold some or all of its resources. (e.g. link reservations, flow rules on the data plane, etc.)
      • PURGE_REQ

        public static final IntentState PURGE_REQ
        Indicates that the intent should be purged from the database.

        Note: This operation will only be performed if the intent is already in WITHDRAWN or FAILED.

      • REALLOCATING

        public static final IntentState REALLOCATING
        Indicates that the intent is being reallocated in a non-disruptive way NonDisruptiveConstraint. This state can be used to inform other applications that the intent is performing the reallocation. In particular type of networks this operation can require a long time. After all the reallocation stages are completed, the intent returns to the INSTALLED state. If any of the reallocation stages fails, the intent is flagged as FAILED.
    • Method Detail

      • values

        public static IntentState[] values()
        Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
        for (IntentState c : IntentState.values())
            System.out.println(c);
        
        Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
      • valueOf

        public static IntentState valueOf​(String name)
        Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
        Parameters:
        name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
        Returns:
        the enum constant with the specified name
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
        NullPointerException - if the argument is null
