could someone help in finding out what exactly is the difference between executing a service syncronously and executing a service
asyncronously? what change would i observe If i set in my processing rule to execute a service syncronously and if i set in my processing rule to execute a service asyncronously? could someone explain me in detial? which is better?

Thank You,

Sridhar,

If you select ProcessingAction Executing a Server:Synchronous mode then for each request it will wait for a response until the target sends back.so this mechanism can be used in the Request/Response scenarios.

Executing a Server:aSynchronous mode then for each request it won’t need to wait for a response and can be sent at any later point of time.

Decide on what ever your requirement expects
