<p><font size=3 color=black face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt;
color:black'>I am wondering, if it is possible, how to set both asynchronous
and synchronous parameters for various tasks/map services within one ArcGIS
application.&nbsp; I have various tasks implemented in an ArcGIS application
and some of those tasks are very expensive (extensive geoprocessing) and
therefore need to be synchronized to prevent wasting server resources.&nbsp;
The less costly tasks can be set as asynchronous.&nbsp; Can someone in this
group shed some light on this?&nbsp; Thanks in advance</span></font></p>
