The answer is unfortunately no. But I never really tried again. I once did some test to mimic a Conversion Server behavior by triggering the transactions manually in server Methods. This was a quite promising approach (which brings zero benefit regarding server performance, cause we stay on the same server...). I never used in production.
So far whenever I have a time consuming task that would benefit from using the conversion server....I end up using another solution that works just as well....
One approach that I use in another project is a "ready-to-go" DLL that does all the ConversionServer related work. I always wanted to recreate this one, but so far never found the time and use case.
I still would be highly interesting in a 100% Method based solution!
Yeah, the solution I ended up with (https://community.aras.com/discussions/development/is-it-possible-to-create-custom-conversionserver-tasks-without-external-dll/8699/replies/17248) just runs onBeforeConvert/OnAfterConvert methods and just skips the OnConvert completely, but in my case performance impact on app server was not a concern and I actually wanted the entire convert method to roll back if it failed, so I didn't really need to offload the processing to a separate server. Maybe someone will eventually post the solution, but for now, on to bigger and better things :-)
