Features
PortSight Task Scheduler allows
you to schedule and execute tasks on the server from your ASP.NET applications.
It can be used for several purposes:
Scheduling and Execution
of Tasks on the Server
You can schedule tasks that will be run only once or repeatedly. You
can choose date and time, as well as days of week and recurring period
.
Asynchronous Execution of
Long-running Tasks
You can avoid server script time-outs by running tasks asynchronously
to your ASP.NET page. When you use the included TaskRunner control,
the user gets a pop-up window that displays task progress, which also
greatly improves the user experience .
Serialization of Tasks that
Access Shared Resources
Serialization allows you to create a virtual queue and process the tasks
in the FIFO (First In First Out) order. It improves the robustness of
your Web site and ensures that all tasks will be finished. It helps
you avoid locks in file system or in the database.
Execute Server-side Utilities
and Commands under a Privileged Account
You can execute tasks under the administrator (or some other) account
you can execute backup and server management utilities from your ASP.NET
applications without granting special permissions to common users.
Architecture
PortSight Task Scheduler is written
as a three-tier .NET application. You can use its application programming
interface (API) to schedule and run tasks from any .NET application. It
uses Microsoft SQL Server (or MSDE) to store information about tasks.
The tasks are executed by PortSight
Task Scheduler Windows Service. It ensures two main features:
- Immediate asynchronous task
execution upon request
- Execution of scheduled tasks
at specified time
You can manage the PortSight Task
Scheduler system using its Web interface that is delivered with source
code and can be easily modified. Using PortSight Task Scheduler, you can
run any type of applications and commands on your server:
- Command line utilities,
BAT or EXE programs (e.g. restarting Windows services or regular copying
of files)
- SQL scripts (e.g. daily report
generation)
- Sending e-mails (you can
schedule sending of newsletters or send thousands of e-mails at one
click from your ASP.NET page)
- Request and download pages
or files from Web sites (e.g. regular data file download and extraction
or regular calling of your management scripts)
- Third-party components
such as report generation components that create very large reports
which may take tens of minutes
You can also create your own components
that will be run by PortSight Task Scheduler.
