How to handle process which might take a long time

Posted on by Community Member

I have a page where user click on the button and it will join few tables and generate table rows which might take 5 - 10 minutes. I am a little bit afraid there is going to be session timeout and not all rows will be generated. What is the session timeout duration on D365 for operation? Is there any way to set longer session timeout length?

Is it necessary to do it synchronously? Starting a background process, allowing the user to do something else in those ten minutes and notifying him when data is ready sounds like a better approach to me.

Yeah I think I should be process so I am not going to clog the server. If I am going this way is it easy to display the progress bar? I was just looking at this but there is no option to change this default modal dialog into the progress bar.

Hi shinystar,

What business process would justify running it synchronous? Like martin stated, a background process or batch job might be better to use.

Add that process in batch and save that report at some network path or send an email with report.
