Hello Everyone,

Can any one, please throw some light on the following?

There is a requirement in which GUI will call SP but should not wait until SP is executed as SP will run for an hour. SP will update the output in the tables directly and that users can see it later. But, users should not be hold back until SP runs. Is there a way to run SP without holding back GUI users?

Thanks in advance for your help.

therein lies your problem. a CALL or LINK ALWAYS keeps the connection open.

you need to start a task to run the sp inorder to release your GUI/user.

The module is complex and performs numerous calculations. Btw, that's the average time. It can run from 1-120 mins based on the amount of input from users. That's the reason, we are checking whether users can be disconnected from the process, so that they can navigate to other tasks. [/quote]

120 minutes? The GUI user might as well be submitting a batch job. icon_smile.gif

Why don't you trigger a batch job instead of a SP?
