FAQ
Why doesn't my job run well with a Windows worker?
Does you job produce any output? If not, the worker may think it is inactive. Here's a simple way of making a script that can be used for debugging on Windows workers:
echo starting > foo
yourexecuble >> foo 2>foo.err
echo done >>foo
.. where yourexecutable is the executable for Windows (see the first question about modules and executables). Naturally, your application will need to get the files "foo" and "foo.err" as output.
For debugging, how can I make my job run in some specific worker?
Use extrafields="host;workername". See AddJob method[14] for more details.
Can I run my client over HTTPS, for increased security?
Yes, you'll find an example of that in clients/democlient-java's README. However, please bear in mind that the communication between the warehouse and the client is not crypted, even if the communication between the coordinator and client is.
