RESTXQ: How to Reflect Progress of Long-Running Querries

In my Mirabel system, I have multiple BaseX instances to handle long-running processes while a primary instance serves the web pages.

For these background processes I’d like to be able to show progress in the main web app.

My question: what are the options for doing this?

I can imagine having a database to write progress data to and then read from that in my RESTXQ page (maybe using a simple JavaScript to poll the app).

Are there better techniques? I’m trying to limit the amount of JavaScript I have to write but I can do it if I have to.

Thanks,

E. _____________________________________________ Eliot Kimber Sr Staff Content Engineer O: 512 554 9368 M: 512 554 9368 servicenow.com<https://www.servicenow.com> LinkedIn<https://www.linkedin.com/company/servicenow> | Twitter<https://twitter.com/servicenow> | YouTube<https://www.youtube.com/user/servicenowinc> | Facebook<https://www.facebook.com/servicenow>

Hi Eliot,

If all BaseX worker instances use the client/server architecture [1], the Client Module [2] could be used to request the list of currently running queries via jobs:list-details [3]. And I’m also convinced that’s not the most obvious solution …
