One other alternative is to use javascript to hit the page every X seconds until your job is done. My bank actually does this to route me through a number of servletts before showing my account summary. However, the control is now on the client's browser, which of course comes with all of the typical issues associated with doing things this way. Just throwing some ideas out there.

The backend process usually takes between 5-20 seconds. Whats the best method of pausing? I want to pause for 5 seconds issue a message and then after 5 seconds run query to see if the backend process completed, if NO issue another message, pause again for 5 etc.. Ill do this up to 30 seconds if no response than I will end the pause/loop and issue a message. I was thinking about just running a cfloop but I am told this will pin my CPU at 100%. There is a CFX_sleep I see, anyone use this? is it production safe? Thanks,Adrian ______________________________________________________________________ Why Share?
