DESCRIPTION

Provides functionalities to work with LSAE analysis event blocks. It defines the following constants, which represents the different types of LSAE Event Blocks:

LSAE_BASE_EVENT
 e.g.
 <analysis_event timestamp="today">
   <message>This is a general analysis event.</message>
 </analysis_event>
LSAE_HEARTBEAT_PROGRESS_EVENT
 e.g.
 <analysis_event timestamp="today">
   <message>This is a HEARTBEAT analysis event.</message>
   <heartbeat_progress/>
 </analysis_event>
LSAE_PERCENT_PROGRESS_EVENT
 e.g.
 <analysis_event timestamp="today">
   <message>This is a PERCENT PROGRESS analysis event.</message>
   <percent_progress percentage="52"/>
 </analysis_event>
LSAE_STATE_CHANGED_EVENT
 e.g.
 <analysis_event timestamp="today">
   <message>This is a STATUS CHANGED analysis event.</message>
   <state_changed previous_state="created" new_state="running"/>
 </analysis_event>
LSAE_STEP_PROGRESS_EVENT
 e.g.
 <analysis_event timestamp="today">
   <message>This is a STEP PROGRESS analysis event.</message>
   <step_progress total_steps="10" steps_completed="5"/>
 </analysis_event>
LSAE_TIME_PROGRESS_EVENT
 e.g.
 <analysis_event timestamp="today">
   <message>This is a TIME PROGRESS analysis event.</message>
   <time_progress remaining="324"/>
 </analysis_event>

It also defines LSAE::AnalysisEventBlock class.
