=head1 NAME

Kernel::System::AsynchronousExecutor - base class to delegate tasks to the OTRS Scheduler Daemon

=head1 SYNOPSIS

ObjectManager controlled modules can add this base class to execute some time consuming tasks in the
background using the separate process OTRS Scheduler Daemon.

=item AsyncCall()

creates a scheduler daemon task to execute a function asynchronously.

    my $Success = $Object->AsyncCall(
        ObjectName               => 'Kernel::System::Ticket',   # optional, if not given the object is used from where
                                                                # this function was called
        FunctionName             => 'MyFunction',               # the name of the function to execute
        FunctionParams           => \%MyParams,                 # a ref with the required parameters for the function
        Attempts                 => 3,                          # optional, default: 1, number of tries to lock the

        MaximumParallelInstances => 1,                          # optional, default: 0 (unlimited), number of same
                                                                #   function calls form the same object that can be

Returns:
