Abstract
In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for selecting amongst a plurality of processes to send a message (e.g. a message for updating an endpoint system, etc.). These mechanisms and methods for selecting amongst a plurality of processes to send a message can enable embodiments to utilize more than one queue for sending such message. The ability of embodiments to provide such multi-process feature can, in turn, prevent latency that typically accompanies a mounting number of messages.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- detecting a trigger for automatically sending a message in association with a subscriber of an on-demand database service;
- retrieving message information from a portion of a database being managed by the on-demand database service;
- and
- selecting at least one of a plurality of processes for sending the message and the message information.
A machine-readable medium carrying one or more sequences of instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to carry out the steps of:
- detecting a trigger for automatically sending a message in association with a subscriber of an on-demand database service;
- retrieving message information from a portion of a database being managed by the on-demand database service;
- and
- selecting at least one of a plurality of processes for sending the message and the message information.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- one or more stored sequences of instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to carry out the steps of:
- detecting a trigger for automatically sending a message in association with a subscriber of an on-demand database service;
- retrieving message information from a portion of a database being managed by the on-demand database service;
- and
- selecting at least one of a plurality of processes for sending the message and the message information.
A method for transmitting code for use in a multi-tenant database system on a transmission medium, the method comprising:
- transmitting code to detect a trigger for automatically sending a message in association with a subscriber of an on-demand database service;
- transmitting code to retrieve message information from a portion of a database being managed by the on-demand database service;
- and
- transmitting code to select at least one of a plurality of processes for sending the message and the message information.
