Get result of long-lived Livecycle process

Question

I am using .Net to make a web-service call to a livecycle long lived service. I cannot figure out how to get the resulting output from this service, as all I get back from my invoke_async call is a jobId.

I know I can use the JobManagerService to ping the job to see when it has completed, but I don't know how to get the output from the service call.

Any ideas?

I have experienced the same. The job id is all that is returned from the invocation of a LiveCycle with invoke_async. You can write a short-lived process in Workbench to do a SQL lookup to use the Job ID to reach over to other tables and get process information. The table tb_job_instance has a field public_id that matches long_lived_invocation_id in tb_process_instance, so you can pass as input the job id you obtain into your new short-lived process to get the process id and from there do more lookups.
