Asynchronous fallback save operations herein (also referred to herein as a background save) provide a means for saving very large transactions from a client device within a stateless architecture. When dealing with large transactions, it may take a long time to process records—so long that the connection between the server and the client may time out, causing the user to lose all work or progress that was being saved. Thus, the present technology serves to prevent this 'time out' problem while simultaneously allowing users to continue working on something else while a save is still completing. In some implementations, once a user has submitted a save request, the save operation may be carried out in a background thread pool, allowing the user to continue move on to a new task.

Systems and methods for asynchronous fallback save operations

In a graphical user interface (GUI) for a personal computer system, an improved method and apparatus for accessing and executing commands associated with user applications. In addition to the standard menu categories of a menubar and control icons of a tool bar, the present invention provides a 'hyperbutton', a 'context sensitive pop-up menu' and a 'menu control editor'. A hyperbutton displays, in a persistent subview, a user selected default hyperitem from the hyperitems of the menubar. The default hyperitem is automatically executed when selected by the user with a mouse. The hyperbutton displays a title of the default hyperitem. The user can change the default hyperitem using a pop-up menu displayed in response to an interface command such as a right mouse button. A context sensitive pop-up menu is associated with a particular object such as a grid subview. The user configures the context sensitive pop-up menu to contain a custom set of the hyperitems associated with the object. A hyperitem editor allows the user to configure the hyperbutton and context sensitive pop-up menu by defining the associated hyperitems and their attributes.
