However, I have found through testing, that even if this job is not running, our Portal system is initiating a refresh and tasks show up in the UWL just fine. I have seen all the documentation that says you must configure the background jobs to run in conjunction with the Portal Delta Pull process but I have yet to find any webpage that really explains why that is.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>If we are not using extended notifications in our system, is it necessary to run this program in the background to support the Portal refresh processes?
