        <para>
            The following shows an example of using an asynchronous command. Assume the API command:</para>
        <programlisting>command=deployVirtualMachine&amp;zoneId=1&amp;serviceOfferingId=1&amp;diskOfferingId=1&amp;templateId=1
        </programlisting>
        <para>CloudStack will immediately return a job ID and any other additional data.</para>
        <programlisting>
         &lt;deployvirtualmachineresponse&gt; 
              &lt;jobid&gt;1&lt;/jobid&gt;
             &lt;id&gt;100&lt;/id&gt;
         &lt;/deployvirtualmachineresponse&gt;
        </programlisting>
        <para>Using the job ID, you can periodically poll for the results by using the queryAsyncJobResult command.</para>
        <programlisting>command=queryAsyncJobResult&amp;jobId=1</programlisting>
        <para>Three possible results could come from this query.</para>
        <para>Job is still pending:</para>
        <programlisting>
         &lt;queryasyncjobresult&gt; 
              &lt;jobid&gt;1&lt;/jobid&gt;
