Hi all,

I have a process that I am turning into a remote process. I can expose it as a web service easily enough, but what happens if this function takes a few minutes to run? Does the client time out? Does it just sit waiting. What happens if the client drops the connection? Does the ws function continue? Can I just have a ws function that starts a timer and returns success to the client, then the timer fires and the long running process starts and goes to completion?

TIA,
Chad
