Long-running operations via the iControl/REST interface might lead to timeouts and non-responsiveness to new requests while the operation completes, with no way to return the result. While transactions can mitigate this by permitting polling on the status of the transaction, not all operations are permitted in transactions.
This makes automated control problematic, as it removes control over long-running operations.
Heavily loaded systems might result in some commands, particularly save sys config, or save sys ucs, taking so long to complete that they time out. Until the operation completes, further operations can not be started by the same user.
Where possible, run long-running iControl/REST commands in transactions.
Asynchronous Tasks for Long-Running command control now work as expected.
