I would like to know how you would run a stored procedure from a page and just “let it finish” even if the page is closed. It doesn’t need to return any data.

    A database-centric option would be:

    • Create a table that will contain a list (or queue) of long-running jobs to be performed.
    • Have the application add an entry to the queue if, when, and as desired. That’s all it does; once logged and entered, no web session or state data need be maintained.
    • Have a SQL Agent job configured to check every 1, 2, 5, whatever minutes to see if there are any jobs to run.
    • If there are as-yet unstarted items, mark the most recent one as started, and start it.
    • When it’s completed, mark it as completed, or just delete it
    • Check if there are any other items to run. If there are, repeat; if not, exit the job.

    Depending on capacity, you could have several (differently named) copies of this job running, concurrently processing items from the list.

    (I’ve used this method for very long-running methods. It’s more an admin-type trick, but it may be appropriate for your situation.)
