Prevent scheduled task execution during deployment [5.2.1]
- Alex
The scheduled tasks in In-Portal are used to perform various jobs (e.g. updating counters, caching things, sending e-mails) in background. This comes in handy if you want to perform some long operation (e.g. e-mail sending over SMTP) after user submits the form, but don't want to keep user waiting until that operation is complete.
Scheduled tasks can be executed in 2 modes:
- after script displays output to the user (default)
- via CRON on server
First option is default, because it guarantees scheduled task execution for cases, when user forgot to setup CRON properly after installing In-Portal.
Unfortunately the deployment process (the "adm:OnDeploy") event is considered as regular website visit and is also triggering scheduled task execution. I believe it should set some kind of marker to prevent scheduled task execution.
