OK...I still have a problem: The render_to_string method is only available in controllers and not in models and views!!!
My approach was to check with several delayed_job my database entries for changes (compare with external webservice!) and then run a delayed_job for create the report with lower priority afterwards. That is not working because I can't use render_to_string in a model for the delayed_job. Has anyone an idea how to solve this? Or is it possible to delay a method from another controller? I am so close! If I just call the method on a view the whole page is stored as I want. I only need to do this in a delayed_job...! @Colin Law: I had a look into caching, but I didn't understand the whole thing, so I think for me it would be easier if my first approach would work.
