RE: Realtime Background Task
You could also cfexecute a batch file (w/ 0 timeout) to generate the output. This is done by calling the shell CF interpretter... cfml.exe on NT? (*nix person myself). There's no user wait w/ a 0 timeout but the process will run until completion. Or if you could wait 15min you could use cfschedule to create a run once task. -Original Message- From: Calvin Moree [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: May 7, 2001 15:41 To: CF-Talk Subject: Realtime Background Task We are currently using CF 4.5.1 on NT. I have an application where a user inputs data into a form and submits the form to another page that enters the data into the database.

Re: Realtime Background Task
This makes me wonder if Neo will allow us to use Java's inherent threading capabilities easily. I would just love the ability to cfspawn process.cfm or process.class... and have this process have access to all of the CF properties, variables, and whatnot. jon - Original Message - From: Raymond B.

RE: Realtime Background Task
We identified the following solution: we setup an expired schedule task in the coldfusion administrator, then on the page that inserts the data into the database we used the cfschedule tag cfschedule ACTION=Run TASK=TaskName. When using the ACTION=Run the task will kick off immediately and only when new data is entered into the database. The task calls a page in the background that takes care of the background need.

RE: Realtime Background Task
Another possibility, assuming you are using sql server, is set up a trigger on the database that creates the text file that you need, P.S. The background page is performing several queries.
