Async action groups

FinalBuilder Discussion

Currently my FB deployment project runs our SQL deployment in one action group, and then our binary deployment sequentially in a second action group.

I've re-written it to have these action groups run under an Async action group but haven't yet tested it because when reading the help for Async action groups- I read this:

Limitations- You cannot have any interactive actions which require user input (eg. Prompt for Variables) under Async Action Groups.

Does this apply to all interactive tasks? Or to those that prompt for variables only? I have some MessageBox tasks in the major deployment groups that "pause the release" in case something goes wrong and gives me time to fix the problem. Will those still work if the action groups are now under an async group?

Thanks,

Owen

Hi Owen

Unfortunately actions like prompt for variables will not work under async groups. The Messagebox action is pretty much the only interactive action that works under async groups.
