Indicates whether enterprise services are called synchronously or asynchronously. The main difference between the two modes of operation is as follows:

  • In synchronous mode, the service consumer sends a message to the service provider and waits for a response or a confirmation. It cannot perform another task until a response or confirmation is received.

  • In asynchronous mode, the service consumer sends a message to the service provider and continues to perform other tasks while waiting for a response. When it receives a response, it can return to the original task and complete it.
