Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 112710
Concurrent "soffice -pt ..." requests fail
Last modified: 2014-08-12 09:04:09 UTC
Making multiple simultaneous command line requests to print from multiple command consoles on the same machine fails. The first one will print but the other concurrent requests will fail if soffice.exe is still executing from the first request. For example, if you request, from console 1: soffice -pt myprinter myfile1.doc Then *immediately* request from console 2: soffice -pt myprinter myfile2.jpg Then myfile1.doc will print but the 2nd soffice request to print myfile2.jpg is ignored and the 2nd soffice.exe simply closes without sending the request to the printer. It appears soffice.exe doesn't like to have more than one iteration of itself running at a time per machine? This should be allowed when printing from the command line. We would like make multiple OpenOffice command line print requests on a server simultaneously. Thanks!
@ hi: Please have a look.
@cd: should these not be serialized ?
The requests might come from many different users at approximately the same time and simply making the soffice -pt... request as each request comes in simplifies processing. Can each soffice -pt... request simply send the print request to the print spooler to then be printed on a FIFO basis? Currently the subsequent soffice -pt... requests are initiated but then closes down without sending the files to the print spooler as long as the first request is still in memory. Thanks!
BUG confirmed: issuing multiple simultaneous command line requests to print from multiple command consoles on the same machine fails. while waiting for a fix we'll try a pause between the commands.
