The two differ quite significantly.

202 means "I have accepted the request, and will probably act on it some
time in future, no need to send the request again. I can't tell you what
the result will be, but if you know how you may find the results
somewhere when I am done if or when I choose to act on your request".

102 means "I am currently processing the request. Please wait, the
response is coming, just be patient with me while I process your
request".
