Scheduled Event Synchronous versus Asynchronous
Answered
Is it better to use Asynchronous or Synchronous for scheduled events (script PX)? Or does it not make a difference?
Best answer
Doesn’t really matter. The scheduler is background task anyway.
Where synchronous vs asynchronous matters are events that the user triggers. Synchronous holds the user up while processing and can show the user a message afterwards.
Thank you Steve – I had guess that a scheduled event uses a new thread regardless of whether its asynchronous or synchronous. I just didn’t read anything about it in any of the manuals.
