Problem Description
| Using Processes and Timers for Long Running Asynchronous Tasks| Using Processes and Timers for Long Running Asynchronous Tasks
Patterns
| Using Processes and Timers for Long Running Asynchronous Tasks
Many Smaller
Transactions
Case:
Merging records in Salesforce
while updating many
individual child records
| Using Processes and Timers for Long Running Asynchronous Tasks
Options:
● Staging Tables
● Live Queries
| Using Processes and Timers for Long Running Asynchronous Tasks
Staging Tables
Prior to running your
timer, query for all
transactions that need to
be processed and store ids
in a staging table
| Using Processes and Timers for Long Running Asynchronous Tasks
Live Queries
Each run of your timer, query for a
new set of transactions that need
to be processed
| Using Processes and Timers for Long Running Asynchronous Tasks
One Long
Asynchronous
Transaction
Case:
Placing an order to an external
system that does not accept
the order until a person
verifies stock
| Using Processes and Timers for Long Running Asynchronous Tasks
Options:
● Status Polling
● Callbacks
| Using Processes and Timers for Long Running Asynchronous Tasks
Status Polling
Every now and then, ask the
backend if the transaction has
completed
| Using Processes and Timers for Long Running Asynchronous Tasks
Callbacks
If your asynchronous service
supports callbacks, expose a REST
or SOAP endpoint for it to hit
when the work is complete
| Using Processes and Timers for Long Running Asynchronous Tasks
One Long
Synchronous
Transaction
Case:
An automated phone system
that calls the user and
requests inputs
| Using Processes and Timers for Long Running Asynchronous Tasks
Options:
● Adjusting Timeout Values
● Wrap the Call in a Separate
Asynchronous Service
● Don’t
| Using Processes and Timers for Long Running Asynchronous Tasks
Adjusting Timeout Values
Every timer has a “Timeout in
Minutes” property
| Using Processes and Timers for Long Running Asynchronous Tasks
Wrap the Call in a Separate
Asynchronous Service
Expose a service in
a service worker
built for batch
processes.
Add the ability to
check when the
service has
completed its work.
| Using Processes and Timers for Long Running Asynchronous Tasks| Using Processes and Timers for Long Running Asynchronous Tasks
Updating User Status
| Using Processes and Timers for Long Running Asynchronous Tasks
Why is it important?
Options:
● Polling
● Notification Entity
● E-mail
| Using Processes and Timers for Long Running Asynchronous Tasks
Polling
Occasionally query the
Process_System table for your
process’s Status_Id
| Using Processes and Timers for Long Running Asynchronous Tasks
Notification Entity
At the end of the process, write a
record to a Notification entity and
give the user a way to read them
| Using Processes and Timers for Long Running Asynchronous Tasks
E-mail
Send at the end of your
process
