Returns

Task<ScheduleHandle>

Handle to the created schedule.

Remarks

This can throw ScheduleAlreadyRunningException if the ID already exists.

DefaultRetryOptions(RpcOptions?)

Parameters

origOptions RpcOptions

Original options to use as a base for the return.

Returns

RpcOptions

GetWorkerBuildIdCompatibilityAsync(string, int, RpcOptions?)

Use to retrieve the sets of compatible Build IDs for the targeted Task Queue. For more on this feature, see https://docs.temporal.io/workers#worker-versioning .

public Task<WorkerBuildIdVersionSets?> GetWorkerBuildIdCompatibilityAsync(string taskQueue, int maxSets, RpcOptions? rpcOptions = null)

Parameters

taskQueue string

The Task Queue to target.

RPC options.

Returns

Task<WorkerBuildIdVersionSets>

The sets, if the Task Queue is versioned, otherwise null.

GetWorkerTaskReachabilityAsync(IReadOnlyCollection<string>, IReadOnlyCollection<string>, TaskReachability?, RpcOptions?)

Determine if some Build IDs for certain Task Queues could have tasks dispatched to them. For more on this feature, see https://docs.temporal.io/workers#worker-versioning .

public Task<WorkerTaskReachability> GetWorkerTaskReachabilityAsync(IReadOnlyCollection<string> buildIds, IReadOnlyCollection<string> taskQueues, TaskReachability? reachability = null, RpcOptions? rpcOptions = null)

Parameters

buildIds IReadOnlyCollection<string>

The Build IDs to query the reachability of. At least one must be specified.

taskQueues IReadOnlyCollection<string>

Task Queues to restrict the query to. If not specified, all Task Queues will be searched. When requesting a large number of task queues or all task queues associated with the given Build IDs in a namespace, all Task Queues will be listed in the response but some of them may not contain reachability information due to a server enforced limit. When reaching the limit, task queues that reachability information could not be retrieved for will be marked with a NotFetched entry in TaskQueueReachability. The caller may issue another call to get the reachability for those task queues.

reachability TaskReachability?

rpcOptions RpcOptions

RPC options.

Returns

Task<WorkerTaskReachability>

The reachability information.
