Hi Monks,

Is there a way i can let the the compBoss know the contents in the globalQ. The globalQ is being enqueued by the queryWorkers

The application that i m buldling needs parallel prosscessing and more can be read in posts with the title "best strategy" and "Problem in Inter Process Communication".

Thanks,
