Execution mode in SOF

Hi team,

I do research on execution mode in SOF

Synchronous - We should opted this option when we do the small operation and user can wait untill process complete.

Asynchronous - We should opted this option when we do the smaller operation and user doesn't wait. Like email notifications once process completed. It's not necessary to use in batch.

Reliable asynchronous - We should opted this option when we do the long operations and user doesn't wait. Like import 3lakhs data in D365FO from excel.

Scheduled batch - We should opted this option, when we like to generate some task in scheduled time, like Sales report every night at12AM.

Pls advise, am I correct? thanks

Here is my thoughts,

Synchronous = user waits
Asynchronous = user does not wait, but durability/retry/batch persistence is not the main requirement.
Reliable asynchronous = user does not wait, and you want batch kind of reliability background execution.
Scheduled batch = background execution at a planned time or recurrence.

Also for importing such huge data, I would recommend to use DMF than a batch.

Hi

Your undestanding is correct and as suggested by Deepak you can DMF instead of Batch.

Additionally, Reliable asynchronous will also automatically alerts the user in the Action Center upon completion the task.

Hi

You are almost right!

Sync = wait & quick.
Async = don't wait & don't care if it's lost.
Reliable Async = don't wait but must complete.
Scheduled = runs on a timer.

The definitions of ScheduledBatch above aren't correct. You can use ScheduledBatch without any recurrence setup and it'll execute ASAP. The difference is, according to the documentation, the following:

This execution mode differs from the reliable asynchronous mode only in the way batch jobs persist in the system.
Unlike reliable asynchronous calls, scheduled batch jobs are persisted in the system until a user manually deletes them.
