The situation I have is that I have a long running process (that takes 15 min
to process) kicked off from an ASP.NET page. I launch a thread and kick of
the process and return instantly. I store information about the thread in
the session variable, which allows the user to login later and see what the
status of that process is. I would like to use a web garden, however the
round robin assignment of requests to the worker processes won’t work for me,
because I need subsequent requests on the same session to go back to the same
worker process. How can I override the round-robin assignment, (ISAPI?), or
how can I solve this problem. NOTE: I will have the same problem when I go
to a web farm, my strategy is to have requests from one session to go to the
same server and then to the same process. I understand that this limits
scalability slightly; however, I am fine with this, I just don’t know how to
make it go back to the same process…
How can this be done?
Thanks

Hi ob,
One solution would be to get the ASP page to call the long running process
in an external component hosted inside a windows service or
EnterpriseServices component.
Any process will be able to access the component to retrieve the status of
the process.
HTH,
Adam
