Instance Restart - resilience you get for “free” Client Server A Server B Host B Host A WF Service Instance (Running) WF Service Instance (Running) Workflow Management Service Locked to Host A Lock Expires Locked to Host B
Workflow Management Service • Resiliency Scenarios • Scenario 1: Host crashes midway thru executing a workflow • Workflow Management Service looks for this • Schedules workflow to run on another host • Scenario 2: Workflow goes idle and persists waiting for a delay, then machine dies. Machine brought back up long after delay interval elapsed. • Workflow Management Service checks automatically for expired timers • Resumes workflows with expired timers • Control Scenarios • Scenario 3: A user issues a Suspend (or similar) command in the AppFabric UI or via the PowerShell cmdlets. • Workflow Management Service polls for queued commands • Executes the corresponding operation on the Workflow Control Endpoint
Instance Lock Retry Client A Client B Workflow Host B Workflow Host A Unlocked Locked
Configuring Lock Management Defines pattern for time interval (exponential or linear) between retries after failing due to instance lock exception. How long a host holds a lock. Controls the interval between successive polls of the instance store.
