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.

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 …

Written for BaseX 9.7. BaseX may have changed since: please check the current documentation.
