</span>I think each workflow that supports queue messages (probably most of<br>
them) should probably allow to set your own queue_name that will get<br>
messages posted to it. Then it would simply be a convention that the<br>
client simply pass the same queue name to any concurrent workflows that<br>
are executed.<br>
<br>
The single queue -> multiple workflows use case is however important to<br>
support for the UI so adding the execution_id and fully qualified<br>
workflow name to each queue message should allow both patterns to work<br>
fine.<br>
<br>
And while the queue name is configurable perhaps we default it to<br>
'tripleo' so that you really don't have to set it anywhere unless you<br>
really want to.<br>
<br>
If you buy this I can update the patches linked below per the latest<br>
feedback.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>+1, I like this approach.<br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
