class SoftLayer::ProductPackage

Each SoftLayer ProductPackage provides information about ordering a product or service from SoftLayer.

Product Item Categories

A important companion to Product Packages are ProductItemCategories. Each ProductItemCategory represents a set of options that you may choose from when configuring an attribute of the product or service you are ordering.

ProductItemCategories are identified by categoryCode. Examples of category codes include 'os', 'ram', and 'port_speed'.

For example, in a package for ordering a server, the 'os' ProductItemCategory contains the available choices for operating systems that may be provisioned on the server.

When you construct an order based on that package, you will make one selection from the 'os' category and put it into the order.

Package Configuration

A package also has a Configuration. A Configuration specifies which Categories are valid in an order and, more importantly, which Categories are *required* in any order that uses the ProductPackage.

When constructing an order, you *must* provide an option for each of the Categories that the Configuration marks as required (and you must supply a value even if the Category only has one choice)

Attributes

available_locations[R]

The list of locations where this product package is available.

name[R]

A friendly, readable name for the package

  raise "#{__method__} requires a client but none was given and Client::default_client is not set" if !softlayer_client

  package_data = softlayer_client[:Product_Package].object_with_id(package_id).object_mask(self.default_object_mask('mask')).getObject
  ProductPackage.new(softlayer_client, package_data)
end
packages_with_key_name(key_name, client = nil) click to toggle source

Requests a list (array) of ProductPackages whose key names match the one passed in. key_name may be a string or array.

  filter = SoftLayer::ObjectFilter.new do |filter|
    filter.accept('type.keyName').when_it is(key_name)
  end

  filtered_service = softlayer_client[:Product_Package].object_filter(filter).object_mask(self.default_object_mask('mask'))
  packages_data = filtered_service.getAllObjects
  packages_data.collect { |package_data| ProductPackage.new(softlayer_client, package_data) }
end
virtual_server_package(client = nil) click to toggle source

Returns the ProductPackage of the package used to order virtual servers At the time of this writing, the code assumes this package is unique

'VIRTUAL_SERVER_INSTANCE' is a “well known” constant for this purpose

Public Instance Methods

categories(force_update=false) click to toggle source

Retrieve the full set of product categories contained in the package

# File lib/softlayer/ProductPackage.rb, line 105
sl_dynamic_attr :categories do |resource|
  resource.should_update? do
    @categories == nil
  end

    # This is a bit ugly, but what we do is ask for the configuration
    # which updates all the categories for the package (and marks those
    # that are required)

    # return the value constructed by the configuration
    @categories
  end
end
category(category_code) click to toggle source

Returns the product category with the given category code (or nil if one cannot be found)

# File lib/softlayer/ProductPackage.rb, line 129
def category(category_code)
  categories.find { |category| category.category_code == category_code }

Retrieve the set of product categories needed to make an order for this product package.

    # needed to find the active price items for that category.
    #
    # Instead, we make a second call, this time to +SoftLayer_Product_Package::getCategories+. That method incorporates a complex
    # filtering mechanism on the server side to give us a list of the categories, groups, and prices that are valid for the current
    # account at the current time. We construct the ProductItemCategory objects from the results we get back.

    # Run though the categories and for each one that's in our config, create a SoftLayer::ProductItemCategory object.
