Hi, Having difficulty (detailed below) executing queued jobs for a multi- threaded worker. What controls when the jobs are actually executed? Today we''re trying to multi-thread our report server. Reports are executed by a worker that basically looks like this: ######################################## class ReporterWorker < BackgrounDRb::MetaWorker set_worker_name :reporter_worker reload_on_schedule true pool_size 5 def create(args = nil) # This is called during startup end def run(arg) thread_pool.defer(:submit,arg) end def submit(arg) # report stuff here persistent_job.finish! end end ##################################### Jobs are submitted to the queue like so: MiddleMan.worker(:reporter_worker).enq_run(:arg => params,:job_key => @report.job_key) But nothing appears to be running. We used to call enq_submit directly and the job would run just fine in the background. Now I''m monitoring the db processes and I see nothing. Also,o nothing in the backgroundrb_debug log file. Looking in the rails log I can see that the rows were inserted into the queue table. Does anybody have any ideas, or any experience using multithreading with BackgrounDRB?
