3330.0. "Asynchronous Commands" by COOKIE::GIONFRIDDO () Wed Jul 08 1992 22:32

Is there away for MCC to asynchronously process commands.  We have a case
where we have some long running commands and would like to let the user
do other work while that command is processing.

Thanks in advance.

3330.1Multiple FCLs neededBIKINI::KRAUSEEuropean NewProductEngineer for MCCThu Jul 09 1992 08:048
    No problem with Iconic Map, but I guess you want this functionality
    out of FCL. The only way I can think of is: start up another MCC
    session and run your command there. You might also pack it into a
    batch job and MCC> SPAWN SUBMIT job.com

    BTW: how about implementing a SPAWN NOWAIT option in FCL?

    Uh, this is a VMS only issue, since on u**x systems you can detach your
    current process and do something else anytime you feel its taking too
    long.   I'd be hesitant to put work into this to overcome an OS
    deficiency on one platform.

The Iconic Map creates a thread for each operation it does.  If you do
3 shows to the same entity (or different entities), 3 threads are created,
1 for each operation.

This functionality has been in the Iconic Map since V1.1.

Hope this helps.
