AsynchronousTaskObject

AsynchronousTaskObject is being phased out in favor of TaskObject, which was introduced experimentally in Version 11.2.

AsynchronousTaskObject["name",id,sessionid]

is an object that represents asynchronous evaluations from a particular asynchronous task.

Details

URLFetchAsynchronous returns an AsynchronousTaskObject.
id is a serial number used to distinguish asynchronous tasks.
sessionid is the $SessionID of the Wolfram System session where the AsynchronousTaskObject was created.
An AsynchronousTaskObject can be passed to StopAsynchronousTask, StartAsynchronousTask, and WaitAsynchronousTask.

Examples

Remove one of the download tasks using its AsynchronousTaskObject expression:

The removed task will no longer be listed:
