Globals-ePy-vs-ISOS
This example demonstrates the difference you may experience when you access globals
directly from Embedded Python compared to native ObjectScript.
To make this demo useful I start 2 background jobs that simply write sequentially
to a dedicated global. A common control method signals for a synchronous start.
Similar a common stop & view interrupts data feeding.
As 2 jobs run in parallel the probability of just using sequential blocks is reduced.
During the development of this demo, I detected that the JOB command has problems
with ClassMethods in Embedded Python.
WARNING:
Due to the poor dimensioned Community License the start of the background jobs
may fail if you have other connections active at the same time.
During my series of test, I found that ePy writes ~53% of the pure ISOS code
See also examples below.
The control method prepares the background processes and has 3 commands:
- 0 .. stop background jobs and show last run results
- 1 .. interrupt background jobs and show last run results
- 2 .. run data load in background jobs.
Loading is interrupted after 60 sec to prevent breaking of the DB
if not done manually
