CRM Plugins - Ensure an Async Plugin runs only after the Sync Plugin finishes

Posted on by Community Member

Hi,

We have a situation where we want our sync opportunity plugin to execute first before the async opportunity plugin runs based on business requirements.

Right now, we wait sleep 5 seconds in async plugin to give the sync plugin enough time to execute. (Bad solution).

We would like to improve this. Thoughts?

Thank you!

+1 from me , as sync always proceeds the async in the exe pipeline there won't be any issue. If you still consider to be delayed always for your business scenario then create your async plugin as asyn custom workflow. Plugin always executes first.

Hope this will solve your prob

Hi Anatoliy,

setting right the execution pipeline, as Andrew writed, should suffice.

However if you have a complex scenario, maybe will be useful to make the async plugin belongs to a specific date or boolean attribute (that you need to create) set by the sync plugin.

So, you will be sure the async plugin starts after sync plugin action.

This is a trick i've used many times.

Please let us know.

+1 for what Andrew wrote.. but, on the other hand, the problem might be somewhere else. If you have a sync plugin that's doing something that, in turn, is happening asynchronously, maybe that's why you had to use that wait.. but it's a different story then.

Hey,

You don't need any timeout. Based on the execution pipeline sync plugin will be always executed before async plugin.
