05/10/2025, 4:26 PMYou'll be able to see them in the threads view of FR

05/10/2025, 4:26 PMBuy the threads in the executor pool will just appear as long running threads

05/10/2025, 4:27 PMYou can hse my frapi lib on forgebox to define transaction start/stops so each task run shows as a proper transaction in FR

05/10/2025, 10:43 PMI think I can use that. What I want is for the main fr transaction to say “I’m starting a thread” and then inside the thread to be able to track work being done, eg http calls

05/10/2025, 10:45 PMI guess a bit like what happens if you use cfthread, you can see the threads being started in the main transaction

05/10/2025, 11:55 PMFor anyone playing along at home, this seems to work for my use case. It adds the sub-transaction to the master in a similar way that you would see with cfthread
Copy code
<cfscript>
async = new Library.coldbox.system.async.AsyncManager();
arr = ['one', 'two', 'three', 'four', 'five', 'six', 'seven', 'eight', 'nine', 'ten'];
mastertran = application.FRTransService.getFRAPI().getActiveTransaction()
results = async.allApply(arr, function(item) {
var subtran = application.FRTransService.startTransaction( item, item, {"im-a-prop": "im-a-value"} );
mastertran._addChildTransaction(subtran)
sleep(1000)
application.FRTransService.endTransaction( subtran )
return (item);
});
writeDump(results);
</cfscript>b
