I currently have a web application, that has certain filters and on those filters a method from a class library is called and the respective activities are performed like processing records, placing files on certain locations on different servers. I want to automate this process. How can I achieve this and what is the best possible way? I read about various options windows service, Cache Item Call backs, Workflows. But not able to evaluate.

Please help me.

  • There are several ways to schedule jobs. You can have a program run using the Task Scheduler with a console application, a windows service that runs in the background, a wcf service that waits for requests, a workflow application, or several other approaches. – Dustin Kingen Sep 16 '13 at 13:01

    Scheduling a job isn't really a question for the application or programming language, it's a question for the host or operating system. Windows has a built-in task scheduler, Linux has `cron`, both of which can run applications or commands on a specified schedule. Or you could create background processes (Windows Services or a daemon in Linux) which run continually and can perform some task at regular intervals. – David Sep 16 '13 at 13:09

You can create a console application for the process and then schedule it through Windows Scheduler. Or you may look at Quartz.NET - Enterprise Job Scheduler for .NET Platform

    Thanks. I tried with Quartz .net . I could schedule my tasks and I deployed it as a Service using Windows Services. Works Great!! Exactly what i wanted. Thanks – yukti Sep 27 '13 at 06:15
