Abstract
Systems and methods are provided perform an asynchronous process in a mobile client when not connected to an enterprise server. An application on a mobile client receives a request from a user to perform a task that is ordinarily performed by the enterprise server, such as decompressing a large data file. The mobile client determines, however, that it is not connected to the enterprise server. Instead, the application spawns a thread to complete the task asynchronously. Accordingly, the task need not be performed synchronously, thus making the user wait, when the mobile client is disconnected from the enterprise server.
