Message from Your Experts:
Background Processing in Pega is provided by features like Queue Processors and Job Schedulers. These let you run long-running processes in the background without blocking user sessions and schedule resource-intensive tasks for low business hours. The features help implement application flow patterns like Async Processing, Massive Paralell Processing and Event driven flows.
