Appserver and thermometer

[Joel W Winston]

Now that I am running my procedure in appserver as it is pretty fast. But could not figure out a way of showing the process progress thermometer in the client.

Should I use a ASYNC call to implement this or there is another way to do it?

There is an inherent limitation in a single threaded environment that any progress bar is likely to be a lie. The nature of the lie depends on the task. If you are retrieving a large number of records, you can always retrieve them in batches and use that as the basis for the progress ... assuming you have any idea how many there are ... but then one has to ask why one would send all those records to the client. Yes, you can do an async call ... but how are you going to know anything about the progress?
