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.
