Hi, What would be the easiest way of managing long-term Zope tasks? I'm using a Plone-based application using a lot of SQL queries and I have a problem with hanging, probably because of ODBC driver - it hangs on timeouts (Windows). I have an idea to rewrite the core to delegate problematic tasks out of main Zope process. It would solve two problems at once. Long non-responding requests and hanging service. (I would check for query results by AJAX requests.) At the moment the most promising is zc.async. I would connect ZEO dispatchers and give back query results. Problem is that I don't need persistence for most of task results and I wonder if ZEO transactions are necessary for that king of processing? Any starting points to suggest? Paweł Lewicki
