RE: [Phpgroupware-developers] async service question

[Dirk Schaller]

Okay the prefs should be a workaround.

I analysed the async stuff a little bit more and saw whats happens
when running an async execution:
After executing the method the async process overwrites the changes
I mad with async->write() during the execution.

The trick is to read the async data after the execution again. I do
this in method check_run() after ExecMethod(). So the async process
can considers the modifications and save the data correctly.

$updated_jobs = $this->read($id);
if (is_array($updated_jobs) && isset($updated_jobs[$id]))
{
        $job['data'] = $updated_jobs[$id]['data'];
}
$this->write($job,True);

I made this little patch for this and put them on savannah.
<http://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?func=detailitem&item_id=2986>

Can someone check this please? Im not sure if such a change has
effekts to other applications, who uses async too. Some hints?
In my view there should be no problems because I only update the
data, not the complete job. So no calculated times are concerned.

Comments are welcome.
Dirk
