Hello,
We are using hang fire to process some long running jobs some of which take more than 2 hours to run. Is there any downside to setting the invisibility timeout to say 6hrs?
Thanks
LinusDev, I am new to Hangfire, so I hope the answer is correct.
One downside I have found so far working with long-term jobs is updating the function. When a job is running we must kill it in the dashboard to update to the current function.
Another is that if your server gets restarted for some reason, it might be a while before a worker picks up the task.
Stephan - Sorry I did not understand your comment. Are you referring to deploying a new application while the job is running?
Nirinchev - Thanks for your response, we are aware of that issue.
LinusDev,
Yes, when you make a change to the function that hangfire runs, you must kill the old running instance if it’s still running.
