I'm currently using the BackgroundJob class successfully. Some jobs execute in few seconds. Other jobs execute in minutes or hours. Each job is independent, with no dependency on previously executed jobs. Jobs are initiated by user actions. Long running jobs cause fast running jobs to wait until the long running job has finished because BackgroundJob executes queued jobs sequentially. This causes one user's job to wait until all other jobs have run to completion. How can I implement "fire and forget" jobs (or Tasks) that execute in parallel? I want a user's job to begin execution immediately.

Below are code snippets of the current implementation:

    [AbpAuthorize(AppPermissions.Pages_Exams)]
    public class ExamsAppService : ngTTMAppServiceBase, IExamsAppService
    {
        .
        .
        .
        [AbpAuthorize(AppPermissions.Pages_Exams_Create)]
        private async Task<ServiceStatusDto> CreateExamJob(string examGuid)
        {
            ServiceStatusDto status = new ServiceStatusDto(L("Exams"), L("Success"));
            long UserId = (long)AbpSession.UserId;

            string workingDirectory = _webHostEnvironment.ContentRootPath;

            try
            {
                CreatJobArgs args =
                    new CreatJobArgs
                    {
                        tenantId = AbpSession.TenantId,
                        userId = UserId,
                        jobGuid = examGuid,
                        folder = StorageLibrary.Storage.FILES_FOLDER,
                        operation = JobOps.JOB_OP_CREATE,
                        workingDirectory = workingDirectory
                    };

                using (_abpSession.Use(AbpSession.TenantId, UserId))
                {
                    status.BackgroundJobId = await
                        _backgroundJobManager.EnqueueAsync<CreateExamJob, CreatJobArgs>(args);
                }
                status.Guid = examGuid;
                return status;
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                ExceptionUtility.LogException(UserId, ex);
                status.Success = false;
                status.FailureReason = ex.Message;
                return status;
            }
        }
    }

Have not tried on another machine. The easiest way to try on another machine would be to clone the SDD and plug disc into another laptop of identical HW. I doubt the outcome would be different, given the OS and all drivers, apps, packages are identical. The hard way would be to install all dev tools, apps and packages from a HDD set to original factory settings, which might have a different outcome. This would take a lot of time, and if the error goes away, the root cause would still remain unknown. Open to other diagnostic suggestions.

This error consistently happens in the following scenario:

  1. In Visual Studio Code start debug session with Chrome browser.
  2. login as user [email protected]
  3. use website
  4. logout
  5. open Chrome browser.
  6. navigate to localhost:4200.
  7. login as user [email protected]
  8. node server crashes as soon as home page is displayed.

Current remedy: npm start

Your suggestion is the solution. Thank you.

private async Task<byte[]> GetBinaryObject(Guid guid)
{
	using (CurrentUnitOfWork.SetTenantId(1))
	{
		var file = await _binaryObjectManager.GetOrNullAsync(guid);
		if (file == null)
		{
			return null;
		}
		return file.Bytes;
	}
}

I posted the wrong code. Here is the correct code:

public override void Execute(CreateExamJobArgs args)
{
        var guid = new Guid("02729c9d-dae0-683b-1d8f-39f5844c75e9");
        var file = GetBinaryObject(guid);
}

private async Task<byte[]> GetBinaryObject(Guid guid)
{
    var file = await _binaryObjectManager.GetOrNullAsync(guid);
    if (file == null)
    {
        return null;
    }
    return file.Bytes;
}

Data in AppBinaryObjects: 02729c9d-dae0-683b-1d8f-39f5844c75e9 1 0x89504E470D0A1A0A0000000D494844520000008C000000A00806000000DEAE8473000000017352474200AECE1CE90000000467414D410000B18F0BFC61050000FDDA49444154785E4CFD65771C5BA22D0AFADD738A379B6531332B95CCCC99CA14A698999965C924C96C4B6690999937D7DEB58B0EBC7BEE7D6FF4A7EE0F3D46

When _binaryObjectManager.GetOrNullAsync(guid) is invoked in an AppService, a BinaryObject is returned, as expected:

_binaryObjectManager = {ngTTM.Storage.DbBinaryObjectManager}
_binaryObjectRepository = {Castle.Proxies.IRepository`2Proxy_17}
file = {[BinaryObject 02729c9d-dae0-683b-1d8f-39f5844c75e9]}

When invoked in a Background Job, a null object is returned, unexpected:

_binaryObjectManager = {ngTTM.Storage.DbBinaryObjectManager}
_binaryObjectRepository = {Castle.Proxies.IRepository`2Proxy_17}
file = null

I created a Background Job per the following instructions: Background Jobs

However, the _binaryObjectRepository does not appear to be connected to the db. var _all = _binaryObjectRepository.GetAllList(); does not cause Exceptions, but also does not return any values. How can I get this to work?

Also, maybe for another issue, _localizationManager only returns English language string - ignores all other language settings - returns English strings. These issues only appear in a Background Job. They work as expected in AppServices. Another clue: _settingManager works correctly as expected.

GitHub drops “master” and “slave” terms amidst BLM backlash

Microsoft's GitHub is removing coding terms like 'master' and 'slave'

In my ANZ project of 500+ files I found 21 affected files. Required about 1 hour to replace all instances of "master" with alternative names.

Using CreationTime to order entities is the solution. Thank you.
