How to just call Stored Procedure and exit in Oracle

Question

I developing an RPA process using UiPath. I'm facing an issue where in process I need to execute 2 SP in Oracle which each can take hour's to complete. I tried with uipath inbuilt activity to execute SP then kill that activity but that kills the SP execution to, I wanted to know whether is there way in VBnet to just call the SP and not wait for it to complete?

Please for help

If we conside only Oracle, you can run procedure in background by using DBMS_JOB or newer DBMS_SCHEDULER.

Just submit a job for a single run like this:

DECLARE
    job_no NUMBER;
BEGIN
    DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT(job_no, ‘your_proc;’, SYSDATE);
    COMMIT;
END;
