If you are working in v15 R5 or better, I would recommend that you take a close look at Worker processes. No need for pause/resume and calls are managed automatically by the worker on a first in first out basis. With a worker on the server, you would still use execute on server but only to call the worker and pass parameters.
Whether you use a Worker process on the server or a process created with Execute on Server no variables are shared with the client. You could use records to exchange data, but it is much cleaner and easier to just pass the data in Execute on Server/Execute Client parameters. If you are working in v14 or better, c_object is the perfect vehicle for this. Just pack all the variables or data into a single c_object. My 2 cents.
