Feature Process queue about processmanager

[dpfaffenbauer]

I don't quite get where the queue is then. A queue for me are serialized executed jobs, but where is that in your use case?

[roynilsson]

There would be a new table in the database with one column for which executable to use and another column for serialized settings data. After the job has been started the row in the database could be removed. Or add a another column with a status if we want to keep history.

[dpfaffenbauer]

And from where do you start the queue?

[roynilsson]

From pimcore maintenance job, just like CronListener works today. But instead of running executables with a cron-value we run executables that are listed in the jobs table.

[dpfaffenbauer]

And from where do get jobs created? API?

[roynilsson]

Yes, that's the idea. I suppose there could be a GUI for it. But a GUI to schedule the existing process types wouldnt really be useful. I think you have to implement your own custom process type with the canRun method to make use of it.

[dpfaffenbauer]

Yeah no, GUI support doesn't make any sense. An process could create a queue anyway.

Yep, I'd be down to add that to Process Manager. Will you provide a PR?

[roynilsson]

I will make a PR
