Subject: Re: [provision] Asynchronous requests.
Thank you, Doron. If it makes sense to request asynchronous execution for only certain operations, then the next question is...for which operations? Jeff Larson suggested the following: - batch - add - modify - delete Would you add or take away any operation from this list? gpc Cohen, Doron wrote: >Gary, > >I believe you may want to go async for many operation, even if not batch as >the requestor as no way to predict how long the operation would take and >opting for async.
