[Former Member]

Hi experts,

For me, it is basically the same...they do the same work but one is less performant ?

Kind regards,

Jamal

Dailogue processes are used for every transaction or program execution until you specify it exclusivly to work on btc or background process. whenever there is any time consuming process, you would like to schedule in a time when there is comparativly lesser load on the server and also in case you want to execute some job to take place automatically, background job option is selected.

thanks.
