How to delay an DB Update

Question

Hi,
I would like to know if there is a possibility to delay an asynchronous update to the database?
What I mean by that? I have changed or created some data in the UI, in my case in the CRM application, and than when saving, I am triggering the COMMIT WORK statement, not in the local task. So, the Update will be executed in the Update LUW, and the application can run forward without having to wait for the DB update.
And now, without having to change coding, I would like to simulate a case where either the database connection is not available, or maybe all the Update LUW's are busy or others. How can I achieve this?
To deactivate the update process using the tx sm13 is not an option to me, as this will effect all users. I would like to have a solution user dependent.
Also, I could change my update function module, by adding an WAIT UP TO x SECONDS statement. But I would like to avoid this as well.
Would appriciate any input...
Enjoy your day,
Erika

Hi,
Instead of using  WAIT UP TO x SECONDS  try to use inbackground task ..
this will do the commit work at the end of program execution.
if LUW fails the update also fails for your function module
