# sensenet Task Management

Task Management is a .Net component for managing **long-running background tasks** in any application. It is a robust and **scalable** solution that is **extendable** with **3rd party task executors** designed for solving atomic background tasks (e.g. extracting a compressed file or generating preview images for a document).

- Takes off the load from web servers (because they are for serving client requests, not for performing resource-heavy tasks).

- Prevents the web process from crushing in case of 3rd party plugins (e.g. an out of memory issue with a text extractor tool should not kill the web process).

- Fully scalable, as you can deploy any number of agent machines to be able to perform more tasks at the same time.

- It can provide rich progress information about running tasks.

This project was developed as a supporting component for [sensenet](https://github.com/SenseNet/sensenet), but can be used in conjunction with any application!

## Overview

Task Management consists of the following subcomponents:

1. **Task Management web application**: this is the central hub for registering tasks and performing callbacks when the execution has finished. When a task arrives, the web app notifies the *agents* (via *SignalR*) and lets one of them (the winner) take the new task.

2. **Agent**: this is the process that will start the appropriate task executor plugin for a certain task.

3. **Executor**: this is the command-line tool that actually performs the task - e.g. checks a document for viruses. This is the main extensibility point: you can create a custom executor, deploy it into the appropriate folder, and you can start registering your tasks right away.

3. **Service**: a Windows service that keeps the configured number of agents (3 by default) alive. You can deploy any number of *agent machines* with this service, agent and executors installed.

Task Management *does not contain any built-in task executors*. It is only the framework that provides the environment for your custom task executors.
