what are the disadvantage of using Async Business rule

@Roxi1 

1.Async business rule execute after a record got updated into ServiceNow Database

2.Its almost similar to after business rule there is just one difference -user does not have to wait for its execution but for after business rule-a form gets displayed after its execution only ,means user has to wait for it's execution

3.Async business rule is executed by scheduler

Hello @Roxi1 ,

There are some disadvantage for using Async BR as below

1. Lack of real-time processing: Asynchronous business rules are processed in the background and may not execute immediately. This means that if your business process requires real-time processing or immediate action, an asynchronous business rule may not be the best solution.

2. Complex debugging: Debugging asynchronous business rules can be more complex than debugging synchronous business rules. Since asynchronous business rules are executed in the background, it can be more difficult to troubleshoot issues and determine the root cause of problems.

3. Limited access to current record data: Asynchronous business rules do not have access to the current record data when they are executed. This means that if your business process requires data from the current record, an asynchronous business rule may not be able to provide that data.

It is very useful for automating business process in ServiceNow. but before use its important to check drawbacks. 

Kindly mark correct and helpful if applicable

Hi @Roxi1,

What do you mean by disadvantage of Async business rule? It will give results once the scheduler performs the CRUD operations in background.
