SqlWorkflowInstanceStore.HostLockRenewalPeriod Property
Definition
Important
Some information relates to prerelease product that may be substantially modified before it’s released. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here.
Specifies the time period within which the host renews its lock on a workflow service instance.
public:
property TimeSpan HostLockRenewalPeriod { TimeSpan get(); void set(TimeSpan value); };public TimeSpan HostLockRenewalPeriod { get; set; }member this.HostLockRenewalPeriod : TimeSpan with get, setPublic Property HostLockRenewalPeriod As TimeSpanProperty Value
The time period.
Examples
The following code sample demonstrates using HostLockRenewalPeriod in a SqlWorkflowInstanceStore.
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Create service host.
WorkflowServiceHost host = new WorkflowServiceHost(new CountingWorkflow(), new Uri(hostBaseAddress));
// Add service endpoint.
host.AddServiceEndpoint("ICountingWorkflow", new BasicHttpBinding(), "");
// Define SqlWorkflowInstanceStoreBehavior:
// Set interval to renew instance lock to 5 seconds.
// Set interval to check for runnable instances to 2 seconds.
// Instance Store does not keep instances after it is completed.
// Select exponential back-off algorithm when retrying to load a locked instance.
// Instance state information is compressed using the GZip compressing algorithm.
SqlWorkflowInstanceStoreBehavior instanceStoreBehavior = new SqlWorkflowInstanceStoreBehavior(connectionString);
instanceStoreBehavior.HostLockRenewalPeriod = new TimeSpan(0, 0, 5);
instanceStoreBehavior.RunnableInstancesDetectionPeriod = new TimeSpan(0, 0, 2);
instanceStoreBehavior.InstanceCompletionAction = InstanceCompletionAction.DeleteAll;
instanceStoreBehavior.InstanceLockedExceptionAction = InstanceLockedExceptionAction.AggressiveRetry;
instanceStoreBehavior.InstanceEncodingOption = InstanceEncodingOption.GZip;
host.Description.Behaviors.Add(instanceStoreBehavior);
// Open service host.
host.Open();
// Create a client that sends a message to create an instance of the workflow.
ICountingWorkflow client = ChannelFactory<ICountingWorkflow>.CreateChannel(new BasicHttpBinding(), new EndpointAddress(hostBaseAddress));
client.start();
Console.WriteLine("(Press [Enter] at any time to terminate host)");
Console.ReadLine();
host.Close();
}
Remarks
If the host does not renew the lock (in other words, extend the lease) with this in this time period, the persistence provider unlocks the instance and another host may lock the instance. The value is a TimeSpan of the form "hh:mm:ss". The minimum permitted value is "00:00:01" (1 sec). The default value of this property is "00:00:30" (30 seconds).
