We already have (starting in 4.4) the ability for a user to DISABLE/ENABLE resources via the GUI or CLI. In some circumstances it makes sense for plugin code to be able to do the same. AS7 has the notion of managed servers that may or may not be auto-started. A managed server that is not started is not UP or DOWN, but more logically DISABLED. This can be determined via the component code. This feature will make it possible for the component code to set resource enablement programmatically.
commit 48694295b96f8e28a84d7f1d36be3b9d8ae456e9 Added this new feature. Called like: resourceContext.getAvailabilityContext().disable(); Test Notes ---------- This will likely be used in the AS7 plugin. Perhaps a test using that plugin can be designed.
Bulk closing of items that are on_qa and in old RHQ releases, which are out for a long time and where the issue has not been re-opened since.
