previous object in async business rule

[Ashwini Jadhao]

hi,

I have question ,why Previous object is not accessible in async business rule?

I had searched this on community but I didn't get it.plz tell me why previous object is not accessible...

[Anurag Tripathi]

Async BR doesn't gets executed like before/after business rules.

Before/After BR gets executed with the transaction, so they have previous value of the record also. Once the transaction is complete the 'Previous' object is gone. And Async BR gets executed as an independent job with the event processing, it is not part of the original transaction and by the time this gets executed the transaction is over, hence previous object is lost.

Hope that explains.

Please mark my answer correct/helpful if it solves your issue.

Hi Ashwini,

previous object is not accessible in an async business rule because async business rule doesn't run immediately when record is inserted/updated instead it runs at specific time in backend after the transaction of insert/update happens i.e. asynchronously; hence system won't know what was the previous value for any field hence previous object won't make sense in that business rule

Mark Correct if this solves your issue and also mark Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.
Thanks
