What is the Purpose of Using Async Business Rule?

[Shantharao]

Hi all,

How can we use Async Business rule, and where can we use and what is the purpose of Using it?

Can any one provide the real time examples except the wiki.

Thanks in advance.

Async BR is best used when you don't want the result to be immediately displayed and do not want to halter the user experience since the control is with the client and in background it is processing.

It is same as After BR that it gets reflected only if database has committed some changes.

A good example shared by Kalai.

Can anybody give realtime examples of Before, After, Async and Display Business Rules ? Please

Thanks and Hope it helps,

Akhil

Hi Burra,

As Akhil noted, async business rules are often underutilized. If you don't need to present a result back to the user immediately or don't want to make the user wait for something like a 3-10 second web service response, an Async rule is great for these use cases. The downside is they have no concept of a 'previous' object to note that something has changed.

You might find this useful as well.
