Question

How to mark a service as asynchronous using the Edge SDKs?

We have some services that take some seconds to complete. I would like to be able to mark these services (that have no returne value) as being asynchronous and have them treated as such by calls from a Thingworx mashup. Is there a way to do this or are all services running on real devices (using the edge SDKs) considered to be synchronous?

Thanks - Brad

But by the way, you can implement it as asynchronous and send an event when it's done. For TW Asynchronous meas that it puts it's execution on a internal Queue, but it's not the case on a remote service, it doesn't makes any sense.

Why do you say it doesn't make any sense on a remote service?

I mean for TW platform, yes on the remote service it makes totally sense to have a Async service. But TW doesn't cares, it's not their responsibility to manage it's execution.
