Re: Why does node's Toolkit for i, use a database connection to execute CL commands?

[Richard Schoen <Richard.Schoen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I wonder if the loop is forcing a new job start each time on the i.

With XMLCGI, there is an IPC service that takes a few seconds each time it's re-initiated and I could see this being intensive if you had to create a new session for each interaction.

You can start the IPC session with a unique name and use the same job over and over if I want to maintain state and use the same job on the I which should improve performance I think.

Not sure how the node toolkit works, but this works good with .Net and should be similar depending on how the toolkit was implemented.

It may or may not be of interest or relevant, but we have lots of code that sits and waits of data on a keyed data queue. It waits for 5 seconds then loops round and checks some stuff (like an instruction to end) then waits again.

When I did the same in a node app using itoolkit, the LPAR simply died on its feet. It wasn't obvious why because the node app was not showing up as using much CPU. However it certainly was the culprit - I changed to wait for 60 seconds instead as it wasn't essential to loop every 5 secs. The problem went away.
