Recurring Jobs

Recurring Jobs Allow You To Use Either Simple Timespan based Intervals or Cron Expressions To Configure Jobs That Repeats After Configured Periods of Time.

E.g A Recurring Job To Send Email Remainders To Team Members Who Are behind Schedule on thier Task Every Monday At 11:00AM

To Configure A Recurring Job you Make A Call To The AddRecurringJob.ScheduleJob

    await FastJobServer.AddRecurringJob(() => Console.WriteLine("Testing Recurring Jobs in FastJobs"))
    .WithInterval(TimeSpan.FromMinutes(40), DateTime.Now)// Simple Interval Based to Run every 40 minutes, starting immediately
    .Start();

It Can Also Be Used With Concrete Jobs just Like Scheduled and Enqueued Jobs can

Configuring Parameters Using Fluent Patterns

Recurring Jobs add a Few More Methods to It Fluent Builder and Reuses Most Of Others from Other job Types

interval Based Job To Repeat Every 45 seconds

    await FastJobServer.
    AddRecurringJob(() => Console.WriteLine("Hello World" ))
    .WithInterval(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(45))
    .Start();

*Cron expression Based Job *

    await FastJobServer.
    AddRecurringJob(() => Console.WriteLine("Hello World" ))
    .AddCronExpression("*/1 * * * *") // Every minute
    .Start();

For Recurring Job the RunAt Method Specifys The Absolut UTC time when The First Run of These Job should Happen

    //Set FirstRunTime to be After 45 seconds
    await FastJobServer.
    AddRecurringJob(() => Console.WriteLine("Hello World" ))
    .RunAt(DateTime.Now.AddSeconds(45))
    .Start();

An Alternative to RunAt for Delaying FirstRun

    //Set FirstRunTime to be After 4 seconds
    await FastJobServer.
    AddRecurringJob(() => Console.WriteLine("Hello World" ))
    .WaitDelay(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(4))
    .Start();

Allows a New instances of the Job to Start If a Previous one is already running

    await FastJobServer.
    AddRecurringJob(() => Console.WriteLine("Hello World" ))
    .AllowConcurrentExecution()
    .Start();

Guideline While using Recurring Jobs

You Can Only use One Of WithInterval() or AddCronExpression().
Similarly You Can Only use One Of RunAt() or WaitDelay()

new Methods Can Be Added Anywhere in the Chain Along With Other Fluent Methods As long as the Above Guidelines are Adhered To .

await FastJobServer.EnqueueJob<TestJob>()
.RunAt(DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(45))
.SetPriority(JobPriority.High)
.SetMaxRetryCount(3)
.SetExpiresAt(DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(10))
.Start();
