The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
I would like for an executive dashboard in a web browser to reflect
this
activity only the file is updated, via server push instead of having
the
browser on a timer to pull data every nnn milliseconds from the System
i .
Just poll! If it's updated "periodically" then a refresh every 60
seconds should be sufficient. We've got pages polling the i every second
and we can't see the load. So don't worry about the load on the server.
Other than an exercise in head-banging, why push (no pun intended) a
technology that's not simple? Push _can_ work. Yahoo uses push to update
finanace.yahoo.com (ok, yes, it's still pull, but they leave the
connection open) but they wrote their own server to do it (identifies as
Yahoo! Finance Push Server - v1.0.3) and I'm sure they're doing it with
a great understanding of the network implications.
For updating anything served off i, just use Ajax. You'd have the page
coded by now.
