Interface TradeStudyPlugIn::ITradeStudy3JobManager

Last update: 18.06.2026

Definition: ModelCenter/src/InterfaceDLL\_TradeStudyPlugIn/TradeStudyPlugIn.odl (line 342)

Class which does everything that a combination of a DataHistory and a JobManager can do. Can be implemented using the inputs to a normal construct(...) call, but can do something else entirely. Thread-safe.
