Running asynchronous patterns

When you have complex calculations that need to start from a UI trigger (like AL code that needs to update statistical values on a page) and these calculations require time to complete, to avoid blocking the UI thread, it’s often recommended to offload the task execution to a background session.

To execute a task in the background, you can use the following:

  • StartSession: Permits you to execute a new session in parallel. The new session will run in the background and can perform read and write transactions.
  • Task Scheduler: Used in code to execute tasks in the background. These tasks are queued up and survive between server restarts (the process will be retried when the server is up again).
  • Page Background Task: Permits you to execute read-only tasks in a background session that can be started from a main UI thread. Details about how to use them were explained in Chapter 5, Writing Code for Extensibility.
