System Job (asyncoperation) Entities

[Applies to: Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0]

Find the latest SDK documentation: CRM 2015 SDK

The System Job entity, also known as asyncoperation, is used to define the execution of an asynchronous plug-in or workflow. When you are dealing with asynchronous plug-ins and workflows, you typically do not directly create an asyncoperation. Instead, an asyncoperation object is created in the database by the platform whenever you register an asynchronous plug-in or execute a workflow.

However, the asyncoperation entity is useful when you develop a custom tool to manage or report on asynchronous operations in Microsoft Dynamics CRM.

Note that System Job is the display name of this entity when viewed in the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Web application. The asyncoperation logical name is always used when programming with the SDK.
