I have a previous question regarding long tasks and the thread_pool (sorry for the dup, I didn''t see the first go through). To try and track things down, I made a change based on a suggestion found in the archives. I moved my import contacts worker to its own file and set the pool_size to 1. class ImportContactsWorker < BackgrounDRb::MetaWorker set_worker_name

I''ve been using backgroundrb since back in March 2007 or so. It''s been working mostly OK for me, but since the old version doesn''t seem to work out of the box with rails 2.0 for me, I decided to test out the latest version. So, I''m looking at the scheduling, and trying to figure out the best option for what I want to do. What I have is a set of workers that

I thought I could delete a busy worker by calling MiddleMan.delete_worker, but doesn''t seem to end. I believe this was possible in 0.2, is it not in 1.0? thanks, Zach -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hi, i''m going to implement a syndication-service, which will get lists in xml with some meta-data an enclosed video files, which will get encoded at the end. The syndication run will be startet every five minutes of a full hour. So i thought to build 4 Worker. One for checking which feeds to syndicate (syndication_worker) at a specific time, one for processing the list

I use backgroundrb for many long tasks in my system, but I''m having issues with one in particular. Two large tasks for me are importing people and updating companies. def import_contacts(args = nil) thread_pool.defer(args) do |job_id| begin job = ImportJob.find(job_id) job.process_job rescue => err logger.error "MscWorker#import_contacts

I''m having some trouble with using brb for polling for work. Basically, what I want to do is update the state of a record and have brb notice and start a process. I do not want to call ask_work for each process because there may be several places where the object''s state is changed, and I only want to process once. Plus, I can schedule things better this way. My first thought

Hi I thought this should suspend the task by 1 minute, but it starts immediately: MiddleMan.ask_work( :worker => :bar_worker, :worker_method => :test_method, :trigger_args => { :start => (Time.now + 1.minute)}) Is the start argument not allowed in the new backgroundrb (mine is at rev HEAD (=314))? What can I do about this? I really need to suspend starting the task as I want

I''m working on upgrading my app to the latest version of backgroundrb. Everything went find until I tried to execute my tasks. Here is my simple worker for testing: class MscWorker < BackgrounDRb::MetaWorker set_worker_name :msc_worker def create(args = nil) # this method is called, when worker is loaded for the first time end # Send a message to everyone def

I''m trying to run a single worker that could perform a periodic task for a given user. >From a controller, I imagine something like: def start_job MiddleMan.ask_work(:worker => :foo_worker, :worker_method => :perform_task, :data => { :user_id = current_user.id }) end def check_job @status = MiddleMan.ask_status(:worker => :foo_worker)[current_user.id] end

Hi, Would greatly appreciate some help with this. Is the following error caused by an incorrect worker name? You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it!

Hello, First off, nice improvements hemant! Thanks for all the hard work. I just whipped up a new worker for a scheduled job that sends digest emails. Very smooth. However, moving some of my old backgroundrb into new backgroundrb isn''t going quite as smoothly. I have a import worker that takes a number of parameters and then is started dynamically. Here''s the a

Hi, Is it possible to start a worker with job_key and then ask_status of that specific worker with the job_key? MiddleMan.ask_work(:worker => :auth_worker, :job_key=>''1'', :worker_method => :auth) and then MiddleMan.ask_status(:worker => :auth_worker, :job_key=>''1'') >From my testing of the new backgroundrb, asking status using job key

Hey all, Been reading through all the old posts (and the docs) to familiarize myself but I still feel a bit lost. I''m on trunk and am having a bit of a hard time knowing where to start with the particular I''m trying to solve. So far, I''ve downloaded backgroundrb, done the basic rails setup, created my worker and started it using `script/backgroundrb start`.

After some initial stumblings, I think I''ve got the hang of backgroundrb. It''s great! I''d been thinking for many many months how cool something like this would be! I''m trying to make a "job queue". That is, a pool of worker threads monitor a queue. When a job appears, one of the workers grabs it and executes the task. When complete, the worker

...ails models. The workers basically just call class methods in the models. (Truly using this as a scheduler.) Perhaps this has something to do with it? - Documentation and resources for the new version are sparse (obviously) and seem a little inaccurate. For example, I learned that the MiddleMan.ask_worker() method detailed in the docs is actually called as MiddleMan.ask_work (). If anyone has any thoughts on what might be going wrong with my scheduled tasks, that''d be great. Thanks! Andy -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I get this error periodically in backgroundrb.log, but only on my production box (the one running ruby 1.8.5) - my dev box doesn''t get this error. As far as I can tell, everything is working ok, despite the error (I don''t really know how to determine if the jobs are getting threaded successfully, but they are running, that I am sure of). Here''s the dump: no
