Daemons
There are two queues:
• The specific queue that the application delivers (represented by Q-table)
• The generic daemon queue itself (represented by fcDaemonQueue)
The daemon treats the application queue in chunks of maximum 100 (see flow).
Daemons are Progress processes which are launched from the financial AppServer process. The process is the Progress executable _progres but is renamed to D_<DaemonName>_<env>.
You can see if the process is running on the server by using ps. It is possible to use another separate server instead of the production server.
