Overview of this book

OutSystems is a software development platform that speeds up the build phase by abstracting code and making almost everything visual. This means replacing textual language with visual artifacts that avoid lexical errors and speed up code composition using accelerators and predefined templates. The book begins by walking you through the fundamentals of the technology, along with a general overview of end-to-end web and mobile software development. You'll learn how to configure your personal area in the cloud and use the OutSystems IDE to connect with it. The book then shows you how to build a web application based on the best architectural and developmental practices in the market, and takes the same approach for the mobile paradigm. As you advance, you'll find out how to develop the same application, and the great potential of reusing code from one paradigm in another and the symbiosis between them is showcased.The only application that'll differ from the application in the exercise is the one used in business process technology (BPT), with a focus on a common market use case. By the end of this OutSystems book, you'll be able to develop enterprise-level applications on the web and mobile, integrating them with third parties and other systems on the market. You'll also understand the concepts of performance, security, and software construction and be able to apply them effectively.

Chapter 15: BPT Processes and Timers – Asynchronous Tools in OutSystems

The OutSystems platform has an extremely useful tool to manage the business Processes integrated into our applications. In this tool, called Business Process Technology (BPT), business Processes are simply referred to as Processes.

These Processes are the flow that a given task or event must respect, having a life cycle independent of the rest of the application logic, and may have manual or automatic activities during its execution. Note that a Process occurs asynchronously.

Furthermore, a Process can run other Processes, which become sub-Processes of the parent Process. The parent Process can then deal with these sub-Processes in different ways, either waiting for the results or continuing to run.

However, this is not the only asynchronous functionality that OutSystems provides. For processing massive data (also known as batch jobs) and for longer operations, we can use tools called Timers. Basically...
