I am facing issue with Recurring Job. I have schedule to run my job at 1 am PST. It executed at specified time but some time it runs at odd times. I am not able to figure out the reason
Bro...Very good video. How can i get NextExecution from a schedule job? I have tried, but from what i find on internet i need the Cron property but in my shedules object i dont have this property
How to avoid jobs that are missed while server is not up. Actually when server is waking up , it is running all missed jobs , that we would not want. Please provide solution to that also.
This is the easy part my friend, what is your solution for deployment on IIS. IIS has a default idle timeout which I prefer not to touch because the application needs to free the resources one in a while. I know that you can make IIS to start it automatically but Does IIS kill the app when the job is running I think so. Because it does not care about the background tasks as procedures to keep the app alive.
@Farhad Nowzari, I have not used IIS for more than 3 years now, the economy does not work out using Windows with IIS in the cloud. I use Docker container with ECS/Linux and Kestral as Web Server.
Thanks for the tutorial, but I found a few things very confusing: Where exactly is the job running from? It seems that your application is only scheduling the job but somehow magically Hanfire is executing it, but from where? Or maybe Hanfgire is only calling back into my program to trigger my local function to execute--which would be basically useless if I want to schedule jobs to be run without my program itself waiting around. At first I thought Hangire was something that could schedule a job to run on a remote machine and my program would exit immediately after scheduling the job. However, it seems you are showing that your program which scheduled the job must stay running. If so, I can't rely on Hangfire to start the job if my program has already exited. I would have to restart my program and check to make sure I'm not re-scheduling something that is already scheduled, then wait around for Hangfire to finally trigger the logic so that my program can receive the request. That seems overly complicated and easy to cause accidental dupicate jobs being run. So, again, my point is that some of these fundamental concepts should be discussed because to someone new hangfire, these concepts are not clear.
Nicholas H as you have pointed out, hangfire is used for scheduling jobs inside of an application which is also hosting hangfire. It is not an alternative for distributed job scheduling engine like Tivoli, Tidal or even Microsoft task scheduler. It is mainly for scheduling tasks inside of an application by an in memory scheduler. Which we usually implement using custom code using Timer or threads. Hangfire simplifies this and provides a very nice dashboard to monitor and adhoc trigger those jobs itself. I will provide comments in my video to clarify this. Thanks for your question, it’s extremely valuable. I’ll also try to create a video comparing hangfire with one of the enterprise scheduler. Maybe that will help as well. Thanks again for watching the video and providing your feedback.
Thanks, this really helped me a lot! One question - my recurring job is a daily POST request to a HTTPClient. Should that be done with AddScoped, AddTransient or AddSingleton?
That was a great introduction to Hangfire. I have a scenario where I want to schedule a job at specific Time set by different Users. Is it possible to schedule a job for each user as per the time set by the user using Hangfire and then leave it to Hanfire to trigger the job as per the user's set time for each user. Please advice. Thanks.
@Vijay Ande, so far what I have done, I do not see that is doable. I will research, and if I find something I will let you know. But as far as what I know right now, I do not think it is possible out of box.
@@DotNetCoreCentral thanks, I got it you can do it using IBackgroundJobClient.Schedule() method. Now my question is can I use "Open plan or Subscription" of Hangfire to Schedule 100+ or even more jobs in a day.
I have used Hangfire with SQL Server as RDBMS but now I need to configure it to work with Oracle. I'm doing some researches about it. Did anybody successfully used Hangfire with Oracle before?
Thanks, it is really useful, I have just one doubt, please correct me if I am wrong Looks like HangFire doesn't consume PrintJob from the container, because every time the recurring job run, it initializes a new instance from PrintJob even though it has been injected as a singleton
@@DotNetCoreCentral I used the same steps in one of my applications, and added a breakpoint in the service class constructor which I injected as singleton, but and I noticed that in every hangfire round it calls the constructor again, I tried the solutions I found online, but non of them were using Singleton service, they were talking about something called ASPnetcoreJobActivator Thanks for your help 😊
@@mouayadkhashfeh4967 thanks for bringing this up. I have multiple production application running with Hangfire with the assumption that singleton works :( I will have to get to the bottom of this.
@Aditya Pratama, you can have a single hangfire for multiple projects/applications. But in that case, if the jobs are in other processes, you will need inter-process communication to trigger jobs in other processes. You can do that using REST API's, but this is something to consiider.
@@DotNetCoreCentral thank you fo replying, i need a cron for microservice structure with netcore as a base language. Can you tell me what best practices on that case? Or maybe an alternative for hangfire? Sorry if my english is bad 😬
@@praadiiit are you using any cloud infra? if you are using something like AWS you can use EventBridge and trigger cron jobs in your web API from there.
@dintots, thanks for watching! I have been using Hangfire in production for more than a couple of years for multiple applications, never seen this issue before. Can you share more details around how you implemented this?

@ Iqmal Miz, the hangfire jobs are used for scheduling a recurring CRON job, if you need something to run continuously, than Hangfire is not the right tool for that. You should use IHostedService/BackgroundService for that. ruclips.net/video/1Fe7QD7Ovi8/видео.html

how do you make it reocurring at a specific time of day like 2:00 pm?
Can you set a different cron schedule per environment (dev,uat,prod)? Can hang fire make it so the task only runs on one pod in kubernetes ?
but this job is stop at mid night next day we have to re-run
Why creating job must placed in middleware ???...

You can create from the dashboard
Can you use single hangfire server with multiple projects/codebase? Is hangfire only support for monolitical structure?
