Hi Everybody,

Is there any documentation of how the scheduler works exactly? My problem is that it seems to fire more than one of my custom schedulers at once. Does anybody if that could be the case?

Cheers,
Nils

Hi Sebastian,

Thank you very much for the answer. What issues have that been? I am running on version 7.2.1 (with a minor patch as per this thread), I assume the issues have been fixed in this version. Is it correct that the scheduler will fire up a thread for each scheduler event that has to be executed? If yes is there a way to avoid this?

What is "too frequent" and why is it best pactice?

I am running 5 custom schedulers. Each takes up to 2 / 2.5 minutes to run (they include a call to a web service to receive data). They are executed every 20 minutes (which I assume is quite often).

Cheers,
Nils

Hi Westa.

Thank you for your answer. 

Does that mean that DotNetNuke isn't able to control the started Threads properly? I set the "maxThreads" property in the web.config file to 1 (which is the default I believe). But it still seems to fire up more than one sometimes.

I can't merge all my Schedulers into one as they have to run independent from each other but I can't have more than one running at a time either. Is there anything that I can do to make sure that only one Scheduler-Thread runs at a time?

Cheers,
Nils
