Asynchronous Execution for Workflows
The workflow execution log indicates which workflow tasks were processed asynchronously. The workflow tasks that execute asynchronously are placed in the scheduling queue and execute in the order in which they are placed in the queue. You can direct the Workflow Manager to execute workflow tasks asynchronously using the task.WorkflowTriggerTask object. For more information, see task.WorkflowTriggerTask.
For example, for asynchronous execution, the workflow execution log displays the following message:
