Synchronizations should be visible in the Provisioning Tasks list

[oveits]

All background jobs including the synchronization jobs should be visible in a tasks list. Today, only provision methods :create and :delete are seen.

[oveits]

Implementation idea: 1) add :synchronize as provision method or 2) generalize the provisioning tasks to general "tasks" or "tickets"

• provisionings (a.k.a. provisioning tasks) then are a dependent model
• readings could be another dependent model
• synchronizations could be a third dependent model

In order to decide between 1) and 2), I need to evaluate, which method is DRYer.

Implemented in https://github.com/oveits/ProvisioningEngine/commit/e697c3d30710b9048b233566d900b1bbf6a561fb (see this diff) like follows:

• Added new model GeneralJob based on ActiveJob (under app/jobs)
• save it on the database via provisioning = Provisioning.new(...).save (otherwise it will be lost, once the job is finished)
• instead of delivering the provisioning via provisioning.deliver (as I do it with provision/de-provision/read), I run it via job = GeneralJob.perform_later(self, "synchronizeSynchronously") in app/models/provisioningobject.rb: synchronize method.

TODO:

• In future, I will need to migrate the old style delayed_job delivery to ActiveJob delivery (see https://github.com/oveits/ProvisioningEngine/issues/45).

Feature is implemented in https://github.com/oveits/ProvisioningEngine/commit/e697c3d30710b9048b233566d900b1bbf6a561fb. I will close the request. Implementation improvements will be handled in other request (e.g. issue #45).
