Hello Everybody,

                          After a long time. Finally I managed to put together an extension which can submit scan. In the AppScan API SDK IScanManager has two methods Scan & ScanAsync.

Does anybody know what is meant by the ScanAsync & what is the actual difference between Scan & ScanAysnc in terms of AppScan Scan Engine behavior?

I'm trying to stabilize the extension & its taking me ridiculously long time to achieve that. The problem that I am facing is due to frequent crashing of the AppScan. Might be internal threading is a problem in AppScan or the problem can be in my extension too. Thats why I'm trying to explore other ways of scan submission since from my experience what I've seen is remote scan submission is something better done asynchronously though presently I'm using the Scan Method & not ScanAsync.

It will be wonderful if somebody can enlighten me on this issue of implementation and behavioral difference of the two APIs.

Thanks as always.

You guys have really helped me a lot & I mean it.
