Handle TimeOut Service Bus Processor

Question

I am currently writing azure service bus processor to process message from queue. If my process takes a long time (more than lock duration of message) than shouln't it timeout before it is available for another processor.

eg I have below code while doing ProcessMessageAsync handler and I have lock duration of 30 seconds.

          Console.WriteLine($"Message Recevied {args.Message.SequenceNumber}");

           await Task.Delay(5 * 10000);

I have also method attached to ProcessErrorAsync which I would expect that will handle exceptions. I see when message is not finished it gets available to other processor which case same message is now executing by multiple process. Is there a way that this can be avoided. We basically want if a process timesout than put the message with a delay to Service Bus.

Answer 1

There is. You can extend the maximum default lock duration by specifying message processor setting MaxAutoLockRenewalDuration , defining the maximum possible processing time for a message.
