Summary:
MassTransit 6.0 offers a new feature to configure actions that run on a periodic basis instead of based on MassTransit events. This feature is useful for scheduling maintenance tasks that should occur on a regular basis from within MassTransit. Note: For information about MassTransit 7 please refer to the following link: MassTransit 7 Home
Description:
MassTransit Servers can now have actions that trigger at a specified periodic interval. Intervals include:
- Hourly at a specific minute past the hour (i.e. Hourly at 15 past the hour)
- Daily at a certain time every day (i.e. Daily at 3:30 AM)
- Weekly on the days selected at a designated time (i.e. Weekly on Monday, Wednesday, Friday at 3:30 PM)
- Monthly on a selected day at a designated time (i.e. Monthly on the 1st of the month at 2:00 AM)
Note that actions configured periodically are not associated with a contact as there is no relevant triggering event for a specific contact.
