Executing script in Background

I have a requirement to run a background script from main script,

Main script:

Start-Job -ScriptBlock {
    C:\Temp\EMEAProductRefreshApp.ps1
} -ArgumentList $server | Out-File -Append "C:\Temp\abc.txt"

Sub script:

"Came to sub script" | Out-File -Append "C:\Temp\abc.txt"

But this is not printing in outfile from subscript, please suggest.

The background job is killed when the parent exits, you should wait for the completion using Wait-Job:

Start-Job -ScriptBlock { C:\Temp\EMEAProductRefreshApp.ps1 } -ArgumentList $server | Wait-Job | Out-File -Append "C:\Temp\abc.txt"
