Q-1268 Process Commander provides multiple mechanisms to
promote parallel processing:
- At the system level, each user session operates as a
process within a Java Virtual Machine on a node. If your system
contains multiple nodes or multiple processors and JVMs, separate
sessions can operate with true parallelism.
- At the business process level, the Split-Join, Spin-off,
and Split-ForEach shapes provide a degree of parallel processing. For
example, a loan application request flow may split into legal and
financial flow executions that can proceed independently until a later
join operation requires the two to consolidate.
- Within a single user session, connections to external
systems may operate in parallel with other operations. For example, an
activity that needs to add many rows to an external database can use
the RDB-Save method but continue other computations (in a separate
Java thread) while the database operation is in progress. The
Connect-SOAP and similar Connect- methods also offer this form of
parallel processing.
