Hello,
A couple of questions (for starters :)):
1. Approach to run background commands in the same "job":
I have a task requiring running background commands at set intervals which can
take an arbitrary amount of time.
I've already created a STAX script to do the command.
Of course I can use "CRON" service to run them separately but I'll lose
testcase indication/counting as each will be separate.
What I would like to do is run a function in the background or run a process
command async from STAX.
To be exact, if you need the real case:
I have an executable which (ultimately) queries a database and returns results.
I've create a STAX job to do this process invocation and count the returned
results.
I would then like to add thresholds to decide, for ex., if it's a "PASS" or a
"FAIL" (for ex. "PASS" returns results in less than 10 seconds, or if the
results are more then 10,000 then less than 30 seconds, etc.) then have that
run its course and give me FAIL/SUCCESS counters.
As evident, each "query" runs for different length of times and there are
different types of queries, etc.
I believe the solution should be in the area of a wrapper to trigger the
function "query1" (for ex.) and then WAIT 2m (ex.), and trigger another query
type named query2, and so on regardless of the times queries take - the results
will come when they come.
Do you have any recommendation? Or another approach etc.
2. How can I create a decent results report, or better yet "CSV" file
though STAX?
Of course I can just use python to write locally to some file, and at the end
send it all to my central location and thorough another logic and the end
combine it all.
But, isn't there another, more natural "built-in" way to accomplish that? For
ex. write though "log" to a central location and have it written in my format
(CSV) to a file.
Thanks, Nitzan.
