For + example, to update a widget according to the progress of the job, a SPR + may be used. In such cases, the Job's execution will be resumed + immediately after the signal has been processed. + - Asynchronous Process Requests (APR): For APRs, the job emitting the + signal does not assume anything about the amount of time needed to + perform the operation.
