18.7 Loading Data in the Background

Load uploaded data in the background and notify users when processing completes.

To load user-uploaded data in the background, use an execution chain with:

• Run in Background enabled,
• Temporary File Handling set to Move or Copy, and
• A Data Loading child process

If appropriate, the execution chain can include Send Email or Send Push Notification child processes to notify the user that the data load has completed. Since the background job has access to a private copy of the user session state at the time the background job began, it can reference page item values like P34_EMPLOYEE_EMAIL and P34_EMPLOYEE_NAME as well as APP_USER when performing these kinds of notifications.
