Hi ,

I am trying to force a process to run in the background after clicking a UI action/button on a form, currently the process locks out the screen and this takes time before moving onto the next item

is there a way to do this!?

Hey Jonathan ,

This definately worked without locking screen , so I called the GlideScriptedHierarchicalWorker from the UI Action and trigerred the script include and function name that actually does the process , however one thing still remains pending is that,   in the function that takes care of the process , there are values that were returned directly from the process function to the GlideAjax call to the UI Action previously.

I guess my confusion is with the new intro of the worker progress , how can I return these different messages(which are based on different conditions) :

from the process function to the GlideScriptedHierarchicalWorker

from the GlideScriptedHierarchicalWorker   to the UI Action (to be displayed on the screen)

The script include / function that does the actual work, will need to update the tracker record with messages, status, percent complete, etc.   The tracker is stored in the sys_execution_tracker table.

if you look at that table, you may see some examples of some of the records there.

And ChangeCheckConflicts script include has some examples in it for updating the tracker record.
