TPTP feature: 156527

Requirement summary

1. Provide a way to contribute import and export actions to the Log Navigator context menu. Group actions in cascading menus.
   Third parties should be able to register their own import and export log wizards corresponding to specific import log methods.[1.5 PD]
2. Reorganize the Eclipse import and export wizard Profiling and Logging category. Provide two subcategories for import and export logs. [0.5 PD]
3. Enhance the current communication mechanism between the import log wizard and a custom control to provide host information and enable/disable the import log wizard host selection tab based on the custom control input. [5 PD]
4. Enhance the log import wizard to support multi host log file elements in custom control. [3 PD]
5. Enhance the log import wizard framework to support agent-less log import from remote machine, i.e. a remote import that doesn’t use the Agent Controller communication framework. The actual import job is done locally but log file is displayed as remote log file under a ‘virtual’ remote host in Log Navigator. For example the current ftp and http import scenarios fall into this category. [3 PD]
6. Enhance the Symptom Catalog Import wizard to capture import location of each symptom catalog import. [1 PD]

User interactions

Use case 1: (Requirement 1)

1. In Log Navigator view, user right-clicks and selects ‘Import’ > ‘Log File’, then he selects which import method he wants to use, the corresponding Import Log File wizard is shown.
2. User clicks finishes the wizard and the import log job starts.

Use case 2: (Requirement 3, 4, 5)

1. In Add Log File dialog, user selects a third party log type which resolves log files information of multiple hosts for user automatically. Host tab of Add Log File dialog will be disabled from user selection.
2. User selects OK to close Add Log File dialog, new log file entries of different hosts are added in log file table, user clicks Finish and import log jobs starts.
3. Third-party extension will transfer resolved files from remote machines to localhost, and import jobs will import the logs locally and displays them under the hostnames they are transferred from.

Design summary

1. Reorganize the Log Navigator context menu with cascaded group for Import and Export actions. Register the Log Navigator view for external action contribution.
2. Create new org.eclipse.ui.importWizards categories for Import and Export wizard for log type actions under existing category org.eclipse.tptp.platform.category.trace.import.
3. Consumers would need to provide host information to each life line in a string having the format “lifeline1:host1;lifeline2:host2” and the import log will process the returned custom control input so that each life line maps to it’s own host.
4. Add a virtualHost property to the log file element that will be used to create the host model resource in the workspace. The old host property will still be used to distinguish between local log imports and remote imports executed using the Agent Controller. In the import from ftp, http URLs case, the host will be set to “local” and the virtualHost will be set to the corresponding host found in the URL.
5. Save symptom catalog and location pair into preference store.
