multiple connections with the same account?

Hi,

I have a question about multiple connections with the same account.

I was importing a 1,000 image batch to OMERO server using 'import' command from omero shell.
for each image importing, my custom bridge submits a python function job into queue.
this python function connects to OMERO server using the same account by

Code: Select all

conn = BlitzGateway(ID, PW, host='localhost', port=int(14064))
conn.connect()

Then this function does the following things
1. do some calculation
2. creates a new OMERO.table (linking to the image)
3. updating a global OMERO.table

after this process is done,
-only 979 images have attached OMERO.table (4 of them have an empty OMERO.table)
-only 892 images are updated to the global OMERO.table

my guess is....
If I submit a job into a queue, there might be multiple connections with the same account. Does this causes any problem?

If I do not use a queue manager and do the process one by one, then everything looks good (even though it takes longer time).

Best,
BK

Multiple connections from one account is fine, but there is a limit to how many connections can be made in a very short period of time. You may have to add a small delay or a retry to let them all connect. Are you seeing any exceptions?

Also, you can share the session, if you'd like, and just use multiple processes; but 1000 simultaneous processes is very likely going to be too much power. Try 4 or 8.
