Is it advisable to enable background Transmit in Work Manager-6.2?

[sudhiranjan_lenka]

Hello Experts,

We are working on Work Manager-62 for one of our client on WPF client. We are using SMP-3.0 SP08 server.

As per our business requirement we are planning to enable background transmit.

Have you guys faced any issues after enabling the background Transmit?

Is it advisable to do so?

In Work Manager-60(SMP-2.3) we had enabled the background transmit but due to some issues we stopped it but not sure about SMP-3.0.

Thanks,

Sudhir.

Sudhir,

You can enable it but keep in mind that the majority of the transactions are bundled.  This means that the actual transaction is not generated until the user presses the Transmit button.  So even if background sending is enabled you probably won't get your expected results unless you also address the individual transactions you want to go in the background.

Thank you so much Bill!!

Our requirement is only to send status updates through background and other transactions we will bundle through the Transmit button for which we will do the code changes.

Background Transmit does not run the main fetches, I mean the background transmit does not fetch the Work Order to mobile. - is my understanding correct?

First lets call it the correct thing.  Background Sending, not Background Transmit.
Background sending only sends transactions from the client to the server.  If Background sending is turn on, all transactions with a post step with are sent,once it is applied.  There is no select option to enable on transactions for some to be sent and not others.

Fetches are not ran, because they are not part of the transactions.
