Improving the utilization of system resources by using the asynch » release(conversation) method

Every asynchronous conversation reserves server-side resources to handle client requests. These reserved resources cannot be used for other purposes while the associated asynchronous conversation exists. Although asynchronous conversations are terminated after a period of inactivity, more effective use of server-side resources can be realized when clients call asynch » release(conversation) when they have no further use for an asynchronous conversation. This allows these reserved resources to be used for other purposes.

The asynch » release(conversation) method can be called whenever the conversation status is complete. If the status is working or stillWorking, clients can free up server-side resources by calling asynch » cancel(conversation). If the conversation status is conversationComplete, the server-side components have already made all resources associated with the asynchronous conversation available for other purposes and no further action is required by the client to terminate the asynchronous conversation.

IBM® Cognos® Viewer is an example of an SDK client that uses asynch » release(conversation) to make the most effective use of server-side resources possible in your IBM Cognos installation.
