pro_vb thread: Using Exe on server


Message #1 by "Sheila Ratnam" <sheila11@h...> on Fri, 31 May 2002 06:25:33
Hi all,

I am calling a method of a DLL on the server from my ASP script. The DLL 
method in turn calls an Exe on the server to carry out a task.

I tested this on my machine using PWS, and it worked fine. When I shifted 
it to another machine, the browser times out before the Exe can complete 
its task, and that stops the Exe from further execution. However, on my 
machine (with PWS) it would complete the task even if the browser switched 
to another page, or was closed down.

Could someone please let me know if there is a way to force the Exe 
complete its task even if the browser times out or switches to another 
page or closes? Does this have anything to do with configuration of IIS?

Thanks in advance,
Sheila
