SOLVED: Triggering a Process without waiting for Process to finish
Dear all,
First of all, thanks to the Rapid-I team for the great work.
We are using Rapidminer and RapidAnalytics in quite some complex apps and we are really happy with the results.
The question: we would like to use an external trigger to activate a process, but without waiting for the result, i.e. use some kind of async communication.
If we expose the process as a web-service, then the process (apparantly) has to finish to say "ok" to the triggering app.
There are in RapidAnalytics definable "file" triggers, but we cannot find any documentation about this. Still, this would not be our ideal solution, as we would like to pass a context to the application using http parameters.
Any suggestions?
As the actual trigger will come from a human request and the process execution could take more than a minute, we are considering replying immediately to the user with some kind of "process accepted", and in the background execute/trigger the process which will then result in an email notification, after execution, with some result message to the triggering person.
Thank you,
Julio
