[Openroad-users] App Server processing

[Martin Pomej]

Hello OpenROAD legends,
 
We have a tough situation involving App Server and some heavy processing and
I wanted to ask if anyone had encountered anything similar and how they
handled it.
 
Scenario
- existing app converted to eClient / App Server
- heavy processing moved to App Server due to the massive amount of data
involved
- depending on variables, certain processing will occur and then the user
will be prompted for a response (this is how the fat client currently works)
 
Problem
- the prompting involves a frame popping up and requesting information
- the information gathered in the prompting cant be requested prior to
calling App Server
 
Ideal Solution
- make a call to App Server and when a certain point in the App Server
processing is reached, halt what's happening and return control back to
eClient
- prompt the user for the required information
- pass information and control back to App Server and continue on with
processing from the point where App Server was halted
 
My question is can App Server be dealt with in this way? If so how?
(With my limited App Server experience I cant see this working, but I want
to ask to be 100%)
 
If anyone has dealt with a similar scenario whereby processing on App Server
was halted, control returned to eClient and then control again returned to
App Server, would you mind sharing the way you went about it.
I've almost lost the 2 strands of hair I have left just thinking about
handling this, and surely my hair is worth saving 8-P.
