NAME

FS::svc_external - Object methods for svc_external records

SYNOPSIS

 use FS::svc_external;

 $record = new FS::svc_external \%hash;
 $record = new FS::svc_external { 'column' => 'value' };

 $error = $record->insert;

 $error = $new_record->replace($old_record);

 $error = $record->delete;

 $error = $record->check;

 $error = $record->suspend;

 $error = $record->unsuspend;

 $error = $record->cancel;

DESCRIPTION

FS::svc_External_Common is intended as a base class for table-specific classes to inherit from. FS::svc_External_Common is used for services which connect to externally tracked services via "id" and "table" fields.

FS::svc_External_Common inherits from FS::svc_Common.

The following fields are currently supported:

svcnum - primary key; id - unique number of external record; title - for invoice line items

METHODS

search_sql
Provides a default search_sql method which returns an SQL fragment to search the title field.
new HASHREF
Creates a new external service. To add the external service to the database, see "insert"|#insert|"insert".
Note that this stores the hash reference, not a distinct copy of the hash it points to. You can ask the object for a copy with the hash method.
label
Returns a string identifying this external service in the form "id:title"
insert [ , OPTION => VALUE ... ]
Adds this external service to the database. If there is an error, returns the error, otherwise returns false.
The additional fields pkgnum and svcpart (see FS::cust_svc) should be defined. An FS::cust_svc record will be created and inserted.
Currently available options are: depend_jobnum
If depend_jobnum is set (to a scalar jobnum or an array reference of jobnums), all provisioning jobs will have a dependancy on the supplied jobnum(s) (they will not run until the specific job(s) complete(s)).
delete
Delete this record from the database.
replace OLD_RECORD
Replaces the OLD_RECORD with this one in the database. If there is an error, returns the error, otherwise returns false.
suspend
Called by the suspend method of FS::cust_pkg (see FS::cust_pkg).
unsuspend
Called by the unsuspend method of FS::cust_pkg (see FS::cust_pkg).
cancel
Called by the cancel method of FS::cust_pkg (see FS::cust_pkg).
check
Checks all fields to make sure this is a valid external service. If there is an error, returns the error, otherwise returns false. Called by the insert and replace methods.
