ReportSemaphoreHandling (Openbravo ERP 3.0PR23Q2)

java.lang.Object
- org.openbravo.client.application.report.ReportSemaphoreHandling

All Implemented Interfaces:

OBProvidable, OBSingleton
```
public class ReportSemaphoreHandling
extends Object
implements OBSingleton
```
A class which can be used to limit the number of parallel processes running. If no semaphore is available an OBException is thrown. This semaphore handler can/should be used by heavy resource intensive reporting processes.To prevent too many to run at the same time. Implementation is based on Semaphore. The acquire() and release() methods should be called using a try finally block:
```
 
 // call acquire before the try:
 ReportSemaphoreHandling.getInstance().acquire();
 try {
 
 } finally {
   ReportSemaphoreHandling.getInstance().release();
 }
 
 
```
