Dear All,
Can we run session (form command or function in baan session) as background process?
So, after we run process in baan session, we can continue our action to open other session in the same bshell. thanks

Use you can do it through AFS/DAL. here is the documentation:

Hi Mujtahid,

I use often background processes when I need some multitasking. Here is what you do:


Write your background task as 3 GL Script. It will usually have a main while loop.
In your main Session you start the task by calling the activate() (http://www.baanboard.com/programmers_manual_baanerp_help_functions_processes_activate) function. Note: If your script is called tccomxyz the procname will be otccomxyz.
The main session can communicate with the background oprocess using either export() (http://www.baanboard.com/programmers_manual_baanerp_help_functions_variables_interprocess_transfer_export) or import() (http://www.baanboard.com/programmers_manual_baanerp_help_functions_variables_interprocess_transfer_import) functions or Events (http://www.baanboard.com/programmers_manual_baanerp_help_events_overview).

Hi Guru,
if we use AFS, to run others sessions in the same bshell, we must wait until AFS process finished. We wish we can start it without wait until this process finished, thanks

Why do you have to wait? How exactly are you activating your AFS session?

I used to run an AFS script and continue working with my menu brother normally.
