Hi,
I have an application running smooth on COM+. There is a Client layer, business layer and data layer. This application is running on Oracle database. There are certain stored procedures which are executed from the application that take around 1-2 hours. So, when this process is running the client application is blocked and there is nothing else the user can do with the application but wait for the process to complete. Currently, we are calling the stored procedure from the data layer. To solve this, we thought of doing the following.
* Create an ActiveX Exe.
* Call the Active Exe from the data layer.
* Call the stored procedure in the ActiveX Exe.
By doing this we thought that the data layer would free up and the control returns back to the application. But rightnow, it is not happening this way. The system still is blocked. Is there anyway that we can solve this using ActiveX exe.
Please help...
Thanks,
Rajesh
