Asynchronous Calling of Functions + Web service calls

Hi Team,

I have an integration with an external system that has an exposed web services to integrate/export data from Ax to that system. Processing is algorithm is:

- When the Purchase Order is Confirmed

- Create a list of products from and order and verify if all those products exists on the external system.

- IF any product did not exist, retrieve product information from Ax and sync those over to the external system

- IF all products exists, sync the purchase order to the external system.

So basically all of the actions there have a function to retrieve data from ax and do a web service call to send out the data. Since I am implementing the process via Event Handler. How will I implement asynchronous calling of these operations? I did some research but most of the suggestions are about Batch Jobs.

Btw I have async functions on the web service functions.

Thanks.

The reason why you can only read about batch jobs is that because that is the best way to handle asynchronous calls. AX is designed for single threaded execution within the client effectively locking interactivity while the process is executing, and the AOS service can do multithreading in form of using the Thread class or executing batch tasks. You should consider that design.

You can use the Thread class on the client also. I have done client side offloading while the UI continues many times using Thread on the client.

My recommendation is using the SysOperation framework. Note that it has four execution modes (including Asynchronous and ReliableAsynchronous).
