Hello:

I have a time consuming server method that needs to be run asynchronously so user can keep working on something else while method is running on the backend.

Currently I am doing it thru a cron job, but now I need to call the method per user request thru a form button.

I tried JS RPC high-level API thru XML button; py method is run but still UI gets held upon method completion.

This is the JS I am running.

Thanks!

Mayte

openerp.my_addon = function (instance,action) {
instance.web.client_actions.add('my.addon.validate.action', 'instance.my_addon.validate_action');
instance.my_addon.validate_action = function (parent, action) {    
    var active_id = action.context.active_id;

    var MyModel = new instance.web.Model('my.model');
    MyModel.call("call_model_method", [[active_id]]);
 return;
 };
};
