Thanks. Yes that worked for me. It just seems that backend documentation isn't very intuitive. I couldn't tell from any of the online docs that simply adding a backend to backends.yaml won't configure a backend for you. It won't show up in the backends section of the admin console until you execute appcfg.py update backends.
Another non-intuitive behavior - probably only for dynamic backends. The admin console has a start/stop button. But obviously, if you hit start, the dynamic backend won't actually start. That's clear from the documentation. But, if you hit "stop", it almost looks like that the backend is made inaccessbile. It won't process requests, and it won't automatically restart on the next request. You have to hit the "start" button first. I think for dynamic backends that button should read "enable/disable". Now the next thing I'm trying to get to work is sending a backend a request from a task queue. I'm using the default task queue to do this, and simply doing this doesn't work (a front-end instance processes the taskqueue request): taskqueue.add(url=[relative path to request handler], method='POST', target=[backend name from app.yaml]) Modifying the above statement to specify the entire URL for the backend in the "target" parameter does not help either - the taskqueue request is still processed by a front-end instance. I also tried just getting rid of the "target" parameter, and specifying the entire url in the "url" parameter i.e. url='https://backend.appid.appspot.com/path/to/requesthandler'. And even that did not help. I fear forcing backends to process cron entries defined with a full URL like above won't do the trick either. So is there no way to force a backend to process a request?
