AsynchronousTasks

AsynchronousTasks is being phased out in favor of Tasks, which was introduced experimentally in Version 11.2.

AsynchronousTasks[]

returns a list of running asynchronous tasks.

Details

AsynchronousTasks returns a list of AsynchronousTaskObject objects.
AsynchronousTaskObject objects are created by functions such as URLFetchAsynchronous.

Examples

Typically, there are no asynchronous tasks running:

Wolfram Language code: AsynchronousTasks[]

Start a download and check the list of asynchronous tasks. If the server completes the request quickly, the task list could be empty:

Wolfram Language code:

URLFetchAsynchronous["http://exampledata.wolfram.com/5mb.dat", 
	If[#2 === "data", MessageDialog["Download complete."]]&]
AsynchronousTasks[]

Once the dialog appears, the task will no longer be in the task list:

Wolfram Language code: AsynchronousTasks[]
