Service Synchronization
I have a few services that take from 4 to 8 hours to complete with the large data sets I am dealing with. I want to synchronize those services so it is impossible to start them if they are already running. My plan is to create a new entity to hold the service name, start time, stop time, etc and have the service read the entity record to see if it is already running.
However, I know that entity records are frequently cached. Is there a setting in the entity definition to never cache or some easy method to force the cache for the entity to clear?

Hmmm
Well, this semaphone attribute tag does not exist in the version I am
working with. It must have been added since I did my last svn get last
year. The problem I face is that I am in beta now for a month with the
current client and I don't think they are going to want to re-validate the
entire suite.
So, I'll do something quick and dirty as an interim.
Perhaps I'll download the latest code and see if I can retrofit it.

You can call the service async w/o persisting it, like this:

runAsync
Posted by "skip@thedevers" <sk...@thedevers.org>.
I am calling dispatcher.runAsync("computeEOQRequirements", context); from
another service to start the job up asynchronously. I have code in
computeEOQRequirements that writes to stdout whenever it first starts. It
seems that it takes like 4 seconds on a fairly skookum machine for it to
begin. The same service runs like instantly when called from the Run
Service button of the Web Tools interface.
The intent is to start the job now, but have it run in it's own thread so
the UI can be interactive for what might be an hour long computation.
Is there any way to control this startup time?
Is there any way to control the thread priority of the job?

Product cost entity
Posted by "skip@thedevers" <sk...@thedevers.org>.
When we sell a product, there are lots of ways to set the price we sell it
at.
Are there any similiar entities to store costs, eg. supplier price breaks at
quantity levels, special promotions, etc.
My current industry does this and I am about to create a new entity to
associate with SupplierProduct similiar to ProductPrice to allow the
purchasing person the opportunity to take advantage of quantity price
breaks. If an entity or service already exists to support this, I would
prefer to use it.
I have looked, but do not find anything. Does anyone know of something?

I cannot find the use for semaphore in any document I can lay my hands on.
I looked in ALL the files using a global search for "semaphore" as well as
looking manually in framework\service\dtd\*.* and can find nothing.
I also re-read http://ofbiz.apache.org/docs/services.html
Can you point me to another document I am missing? I would also think that
searching the java files for semaphore would have turned up something.
Is this something newer than 1Jan2008 as that is the last time I got a
