Asynchronous Service
![]() |
[Applies to: Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0]
The asynchronous service executes long-running operations independent of the main Microsoft Dynamics CRM system process. This results in improved overall system performance and improved scalability.
The asynchronous service features a managed queue for the execution of asynchronous registered plug-ins, workflows, and operations such as bulk mail, bulk import, and campaign activity propagation. These operations are registered with the asynchronous service and executed later when the service processes its queue. All workflows are executed by the asynchronous service.
