What are Automated tasks?

Overview

Automated task is a background process that runs according to a predefined configuration. Automated tasks are created under each Business Application and can be triggered manually whenever required or scheduled to run at a specific time in a day.

Business scenario

Consider a scenario where an application that listens for messages from a Service Bus Queue or Topic Subscription went unresponsive.

The number of messages inside the queue will start increasing gradually. Depending on the Time to Live value of the Service Bus resource, either the messages to be processed would pile up drastically, or they would get dead-lettered.

When the application resumes its operation, it might either get overloaded due to the increased number of messages or fail to process the dead-lettered messages.

In cases like these, Turbo360's Automated task feature helps resolve problems automatically by either:

• Purging the messages in the Active end of the Queue to reset the system.
• Performing tasks like Resubmit or Resubmit-and-Delete from the dead-letter back to the same Queue, so that the messages can be consumed by the resumed system.

Turbo360 supports Automated tasks on the following Azure resource types:
