Deploy exe on a worker role
Hello,
I want to deploy my c++ exe on a worker role. My exe takes 2 argument PathOfinput.txt and PathOfoutput.txt . When I run my web app locally it works And I obtained the output.file in the right path That I already gave it as an argument to my exe.
The problem is when I publish my service on cloud I was not able to locate my output.txt. Do I need to add code to upload output.txt to localstorage account?
Is it possible to run the exe on cloud and use my local computer for the storage of input.txt and output.txt??
I will be grateful if you respond me as soon as possible
thanks.
Hi,
As far as I know, we usually not upload file to azure worker role, if the worker role instance scale to two instances or more, we will failed to read these uploaded files, I would suggest you use azure storage to do this.

Deploy Files In Azure Worker Role
I have a worker role that uses the MAF framework. That means I need to add assemblies that my project do not reference directly, and these files need to be in a specific folder structure(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb384201.aspx).
I had the same scenario with a web role and was able to achieve this because when you package a web role, it can copy every file found in the project folder. So I had a BeforeBuild event that would copy all the files to my bin folder for my web app, and all
the files in there were packaged in my azure package.
The same thing does not apply to worker roles. Before the build I create the folder structure in the bin\config folder, I can see the structure there, but the files do not get copied in the azure package at the end. I know the usual way to achieve this is
to add a reference to those dll and set them to copy local, but that won't place the files in the required folder structure.
Another way around would be to add custom code that would load those files from azure storage, and copy them when the role is starting, but that means I need to make extra steps everytime I deploy, and make sure that the storage is updated at the same time
of my package. I was wonedring if there was any other way to achieve this. I cannot believe that this is completely unsupported. I did not create a custom framework for my add-ins, I am usign the one provided by Microsoft with the .NET framework, so I really
hope there is a way to add those files to the azure package.
Thanks, LouisHere is what I dened up doing to achieve this:
Make a copy of the Microsoft.WindowsAzure.targets file found in the MSBuild folder to your Azure project folder. (C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v10.0\Windows Azure Tools\1.6 was the folder for me)
Modify the filed you just copied to comment a part that would delete any "oprhan" file that does not belong to the role it is building. Without removing this, the file will get deleted automatically because it will detect that the project does not need it.
<ItemGroup>
<OrphanedWorkerFiles Include="$(IntermediateWorkerOutputPath)**\*.*" Exclude="@(WorkerFiles->'$(IntermediateWorkerOutputPath)%(TargetPath)')" />
</ItemGroup>
<Delete Files="@(OrphanedWorkerFiles)" ContinueOnError="true" />
That can be found on line 2864 with version 1.6 of the Azure SDK. Comment it out or remove it.
Modify the ccproj file of your Azure project to point to that file instead fo the original one. The import should now look like this: <Import Project="$(ProjectDir)Microsoft.WindowsAzure.targets" />
You can then add a <Target Name="BeforeBuild"></Target> node in that ccproj file, or add before build events in that project that will copy the required file to this folder: $(ProjectDir)obj\$(ConfigurationName)\[Azure role], and replace [Azure
role] by the name of the role you want to copy these files to.
Once you've done that, you can rebuild your solution, and any files copied during your before build event will be included in your final azure package.

Thanks.Hi S.Marzuki,
>>And it works fine this time. did this charge me extra money?
Yes, if the VM always is running, Azure platform will charge it by hours.
Another way, You could code some function in your web role to manage the worker role status, you could use the Mangement API to change the worker role status (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee460808.aspx
). Also, you could see this thread(https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/azure/en-us/a5e3411e-4cf1-439c-a927-965970b8b439/start-and-stop-worker-role-programmatically

'Not running in a hosted service or the Development Fabric' exception on deployed Worker role
We are getting this exception after a worker role has been operating fine in production for several weeks. Once this exception starts getting reported, it will keep getting it every time the worker role tries to access anything with the Diagnostics:
Not running in a hosted service or the Development Fabric
Note that the role is full trust, and as I mentioned this in in production on the Azure servers, NOT in debug. The worker role itself does some dynamic compilation, for which it needs to start a new AppDomain. It appears that the exception is
coming from the spawned AppDomain when it occurs. The exception itself is triggered on a simple Trace.TraceInformation call.
What could cause this?
What can we do to recover from this?We are getting this exception after a worker role has been operating fine in production for several weeks. Once this exception starts getting reported, it will keep getting it every time the worker role tries to access anything with the Diagnostics:

Hi,
I have tested this situation in Windows Azure platform and i can not reproduce your exception message, my test code in follwoing MSDN samples and i deploy it in Production status.
The MSDN article (include Appdomain code snippets)

Base on my understand, the "Not running in a hosted service or the Development Fabric" error message occur when Azure Emulator or Azure development fabirc, because you create a new appdomain in WorkRole, and it may cause permission errors, a similar

How to deploy worker role to Azure cloud via portal
Hi
I have two worker roles in my VS Project and I need them to be running on Azure cloud. I have created the storage accounts, the worker roles are using Queues, that I created using c# code.
I looked up some articles and they say I have to create a hosted services from top left corner, but I don't see any hosted service link on my portal. (I am thinking the new version of Azure Portal does not have hosted service link, probably been replaced
with something else but I don't know what it is)
Can someone please help me what to do after I create a package and have the config and package files in app.publish folder. How to deploy the worker roles in cloud using the Portal
Thanks
-SarahHi,
>>I looked up some articles and they say I have to create a hosted services from top left corner
As far as I know, cloud service was called hosted service in old azure platform, see below old platform screenshot.
About deploy your application to cloud service, please refer to

How to develop and deploy multiple worker roles in single azure cloud services?
I am Manikandan, From Myeasydocs.com.
We have developed our application as web projects. Now we are going to move to azure cloud services, i have successfully migrated our application in cloud services and it worked fine. I am having difficulties with back ground task. i have nearly 12
schedule tasks in our applications. I need assist on creating multiple worker role creation and deployment.
Is there is any site on explaining the worker role process in details?
Thanks in advance .. !!Hi,
In Worker role, Applications hosted within worker roles can run asynchronous, long-running or perpetual tasks independent of user interaction or input. It is a service component that is useful for generalized development, and may perform background processing
for a web role. A worker role is frequently used for long-running tasks that are non-interactive, but you can host any type of workload.
I suggest you to follow the below article which explains about Creating and Deploying of Web Roles and Worker Roles in Azure Cloud Service using Visual Studio.

Hope this helps !

Deploy windows azure worker role
Hi,
I've created a simple azure worker role which executes few things in the database continuously and I need to deploy this worker role to azure portal. how can i deploy an azure worker role to azure portal.
thanks,
SneghaHi robdmoore67,
I deployed my worker role using the below option
Deploy using Visual Studio by linking your Visual Studio to your subscription, right-clicking the cloud project and selecting Publish; see this link for more info: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/jj618299.aspx
deployment went success but my worker role is not running on the background i guess.
this is my below code on workerrole.cs
public override void Run()
// This is a sample worker implementation. Replace with your logic.
Trace.TraceInformation("WorkerRole entry point called", "Information");
while (true)
_myService = new MYService();
_myService .Start();
Trace.TraceInformation("Working", "Information");
public override bool OnStart()
// Set the maximum number of concurrent connections
ServicePointManager.DefaultConnectionLimit = 12;
// For information on handling configuration changes
// see the MSDN topic at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=166357.
return base.OnStart();
but this works fine when i try to debug locally. Kindly let me know if there is any mistake.
kind regards,
Snegha

Hi,
I am trying to do continuous deployment using visual studio online and release management for Azure cloud services. But not able to find the way to do it(with the help of different blogs, those are describing using VM only).
I tried using Release management visual studio extension also. But no Luck.
Please help me if it is possible to do continuous deployment using release management.

Unexpected recycling of worker role
Hi all
I've deployed a worker role to Azure and it ran smoothly from February 3rd to February 25th.
On February 26th, the worker role was "silently" recycled.
I would like to understand what happened and if there are scheduled recycling operations or specific conditions triggering a recycle.
The VM was operating normally for both CPU and memory. I couldn't find any error in Event viewer or in stored diagnostics.
This is the only useful message (WAHostBootstrapper.log):
[00002252:00003224, 2015/02/26, 03:52:06.491, INFO ] Sending shutdown notification to client DiagnosticsAgent.exe (2248).
[00002252:00003224, 2015/02/26, 03:52:06.491, INFO ] Sending shutdown notification to client WaWorkerHost.exe (2904).
Thanks
FrancescoHi Francesco,
Is your worker role instances in recycling status currently? Which region did you host your cloud service?
I saw some mantance log about cloud service /VM from Azure Status dashboard (http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/status/#history ):

JRE7Update25 Deployment Properties File Not Working And Cant Disable Next Gen Plugin
Good Day
Our organisation needs to deploy JRE7U25 to over 4000 workstations. Our desktops are running the following Windows and IE combinations:
WinXP 32 Bit/IE7
WinXP 32 Bit/IE8
Win7 32 Bit/IE8
Win7 32 Bit/IE9
Win7 64 Bit/IE8
Win7 64 Bit/IE8
We use the 32bit JRE installer across all environments and all IE browsers use 32Bit IE. On all of our environments the Deployment.properties and config files no longer work due to what appears to be a bug in the JRE7U25 installer. Our deployment files are as follows:
Deployment.config
deployment.system.config=C:\WINDOWS\Sun\Java\Deployment\deployment.properties
deployment.system.config.mandatory=true
Deployment.properties
deployment.security.level=MEDIUM
deployment.security.level.locked=
deployment.javaws.autodownload=NEVER
deployment.javaws.autodownload.locked=
deployment.security.mixcode=HIDE_RUN
deployment.security.mixcode.locked=
deployment.console.startup.mode=HIDE
deployment.console.startup.mode.locked=
Both files are being copied to the following location:
C:\Windows\Sun\Java\Deployment
After the installer runs and deployment files are copied to the workstation the deployment.properties and config files look like this:
Deployment.config
deployment.system.config=C:\WINDOWS\Sun\Java\Deployment\deployment.properties
deployment.system.config.mandatory=true
Deployment.properties
#System Deployment Properties
#Mon Jul 01 12:29:20 CAT 2013
deployment.security.level=MEDIUM
I have tried changing the deployment.config file as follows in an attempt to fix this to no avail:
1. deployment.system.config=C:\\WINDOWS\\Sun\\Java\\Deployment\\deployment.properties
deployment.system.config.mandatory=true
2. deployment.system.config=C:\\WINDOWS\\Sun\\Java\\Deployment\\deployment.properties
deployment.system.config.mandatory=false
3. deployment.system.config=C:\WINDOWS\Sun\Java\Deployment\deployment.properties
deployment.system.config.mandatory=true
4. deployment.system.config=C:\WINDOWS\Sun\Java\Deployment\deployment.properties
deployment.system.config.mandatory=false
5. deployment.system.config=file\:C\:/WINDOWS/Sun/Java/Deployment/deployment.properties
None of the above mentioned works. So all our required settings in the deployment.properties file are being overwritten when opening the Java console? Our other major problem is that Changing the registry key to 0 in order to disable the next generation plugin does not disable the next generation plugin in Jre at the usual location as it worked for us machine wide (across multiple profiles for JRE6U29):
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Plug-in\10.25.2]
"UseNewJavaPlugin"=dword:00000000
^^I have observed on a fresh install of JRE7U25 that the above mentioned registry key no longer exists in this version so a computer wide disablement of this option is no longer possible via the registry.
On our 32Bit and 64bit machines running the 32 bit JRE 7U25 client when we disable the next generation plugin it keeps enabling itself again. Even when we run the javacpl.exe to run as administrator by changing the compatibility settings and disabling the next generation plugin it enables itself again. This is a huge problem for us because our company Oracle web based applications need this plugin to be disabled in order to run the apps properly.
These are major obstacles for our deployment as we desperately require assistance or any advice in addressing these issues as there appear to be numerous bugs with the JRE7U25 release. Thank you in advance.
Update 7 July 2013:
I have observed that if you have the following options in your Deployment.config file it doesn't allow our java webstart apps which use jnlp extensions to run.
1. deployment.system.config=C:\\WINDOWS\\Sun\\Java\\Deployment\\deployment.properties
deployment.system.config.mandatory=true
2. deployment.system.config=C:\\WINDOWS\\Sun\\Java\\Deployment\\deployment.properties
deployment.system.config.mandatory=false
3. deployment.system.config=C:\WINDOWS\Sun\Java\Deployment\deployment.properties
deployment.system.config.mandatory=true
4. deployment.system.config=C:\WINDOWS\Sun\Java\Deployment\deployment.properties
deployment.system.config.mandatory=false
The jnlp file association is also broken on Windows XP workstations with JRE7U25. We are having to manually associate the .jnlp file extension with javaws.exe on workstation for Web start apps or else users cannot lauch JRE whn clicking on .jnlp links.
The only Deployment.config syntax which allows our Webstart applications to run is as follows:
deployment.system.config=file\:C\:/WINDOWS/Sun/Java/Deployment/deployment.properties
What a mess!I don't have an answer to the problem, but I am having problems with the system level deployment.properties file and IE9 on Windows 7 32/64bit.
Starting with version 13, the IE plugin seems to igonore the system level deployment.properties file in favor of the user level deployment.properties file. When I open the Java Control Panel, the settings are correct per the system deployment.properties file. Currently to get the Java Plugin to work reliably in IE9 I have to set the following:
_JAVA_OPTIONS = -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true
Disable caching
Set the proxy to Direct Connection.
If I set the _JAVA_OPTIONS as an environment variable and the other two in the system deployment.properties file, Firefox works fine, but IE wont load either of the Java tests. If I removed the system deployment.properties files and configure the user deployment.properties file, both IE and Firefox work fine.
I find it interesting that if I set the configuration through the control panel, then apply the system deployment.propteries file, the user deployment.properties file reverts to defaults when the system file is removed. -
How to move worker roles to VM?
I've developed an app that has 3 worker roles and a web role. The client has decided that they want to put this on a VM. I understand how to handle the web role but I am unclear how I convert the worker roles. I've searched but I can't
find anything that directly guides me on what's needed. Does anyone know of a link that would show me how to convert over?The easiest way to develop a Windows Service in my opinion is using
Topshelf.
You can convert your Worker Role code across pretty easily by
calling the Run code from the WhenStarted event, the OnStop code from the WhenStopped event and the OnStart code from the constructor of your service class.
Alternatively, you can
inherit the ServiceControl interface and implement the Start and Stop methods.
Deploying the service is easy too. Simply get the built files from your console app (a Topshelf service is simply a console app) and
invoke the app (e.g. PowerShell script) with the install parameter, then again with the start parameter. -

Just prior to the crash...
...it seems like VS 2013 is attempting to log me in to a company server (active directory?). Regardless of my action (providing my login credentials or cancelling the login) VS 2013 then proceeds to crash.
My other computers
On my private laptop that connects to the internet via a private internet connection, the same type of project loads the configuration page w.o. issues (same VS and SDK configuration).
Others have this issue as well
There is also a thread about this on SO, although without a solution:
Visual Studio 2013 crashes when opening up service configuration for edit
Can anybody provide any help about how to solve this, please?
Br,
ClausHi Will
Thanks for your answer - I have added my findings below:
The problem apparently stems from the authentication process.
If you are using your company email as username on Azure, the inherent domain name will cause the authentication method to redirect you to your company's Active Directory.
The problem can be solved by choosing a different email as username on Azure.
The problem can also be replicated by setting up a website with authentication using Azure Active Directory. During login through Azure AD, the exact moment you enter the domain name in your username, the login screen redirects you from the Azure AD to the
AD at sts.[email domain name] - and consequently, the login fails. Using a different username the Azure AD authentication works flawlessly.

I have written a console application to test the WASABi(AutoScaling Application Block) for my worker role running in azure. The worker role processes the messages in the queue and I want to scale-up based on the queue length. I have configured and set the
constraints and reactive rules properly. I get the following error when I run this application.

Hello,
>>: The service configuration could not be retrieved from Windows Azure for hosted service with DNS prefix 'rmsazure' in subscription id **************
Base on error message, I guess your azure service didn't get your certificate and other instances didn't have certificate to auto scale. Please check your upload the certificate on your portal management. Also, you could refer to same thread via link(
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12843401/azure-autoscaling-block-cannot-find-certificate ).
Hope it helps.
Any question or result, please let me know.
Thanks

Guidance needed please for architecting a scheduled application process (Worker Role vs. VM Role)
I'm close to putting all of the pieces together for an Azure Cloud Services solution that I want to build.
My goal is to build a .NET Library (or perhaps a Windows Service or even a Console Application) that will run once a day to execute dynamic queries against an Azure SQL DB.
There would be 1-x numbers of these query sets that will need to be run during the process, and after each query set an email will be sent out containing data from the query results (which shouldn't be terribly large or processor intensive) to an email
recipient specific to that data set. I plan on using an assigned Office 365 Mailbox as the sender account and email recipients would all be in the same Exchange organization.
I haven't decided on the emailing API yet, but it may require dependencies to be installed on Windows Server (e.g. the MAPI subsystem, AKA the Mail applet in Control Panel - so I can use Redemption which is a third-party replacement for the Outlook Object
Model that doesn't require Outlook to be installed) unless I go with Exchange Web Services or the Office 365 REST APIs.
So my main question is what's more appropriate, a VM or a Worker Role?
Since the processing should only take 5-10 minutes to complete, I'd like to minimize the uptime of the VM or Worker Role and be able to turn it on when the scheduled time occurs, and turn it off when
the processing is done.
I'm also trying to understand how to fit in either the Azure Scheduler Service or the Windows Task Scheduler in the OS to auto-run my .NET application and/or Worker Role/VM.
Any guidance would be appreciated!

Try Outlook Touch!Hello Eric,
There is currently no Option for automatically deploying an Azure Role, running it and then Shutting it down or Deleting it. That kind of functionality is possible using the
Windows Azure service Management API which is used by the Windows Azure PowerShell cmdlets.

Azure Worker Role reboots when adding instance of Web Role
I have a Windows Azure cloud service with a Web Role and a Worker Role. I I have built a website that allows me to perform various management functions against the cloud service (stop/start, reboot instance, add instance, remove instance). All functions are
performed via the web api. My issue is that when I add an instance of the web role, the worker role reboots. Note that this doesn't happen if I add an instance via the Azure portal. The code functions correctly in all other aspects. Any idea how to do this
so that only the role being affected recycles instead of all roles recycling?
My code:
public void AddInstance()
XDocument configDoc = this.GetDeploymentConfiguration();
var ns = configDoc.Root.GetDefaultNamespace();
configDoc.Root
.Elements( ns + "Role" )
.FirstOrDefault( r => r.Attribute( "name" ).Value.ToLower() == this.RoleName.ToLower() )
.Element( ns + "Instances" )
.Attribute( "count" )
.Value = ( int.Parse( configDoc.Root
.Elements( ns + "Role" )
.FirstOrDefault( r => r.Attribute( "name" ).Value.ToLower() == this.RoleName.ToLower() )
.Element( ns + "Instances" )
.Attribute( "count" )
.Value ) + 1 ).ToString();
string encodedString = Convert.ToBase64String( Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes( configDoc.ToString() ) );
this.SetDeploymentConfig( encodedString );
public XDocument GetDeploymentConfiguration()
string uri = string.Format( this.servicePropertiesOperationFormat, this.subscriptionID, this.serviceName, "production", "" );
ServiceManagementOperation operation = new ServiceManagementOperation( this.thumbprint, this.versionID );
var xdoc= operation.Invoke( uri );
var myelm = xdoc.Element( wa + "Deployment" ).Element( wa + "Configuration" );
var mystring= Encoding.UTF8.GetString( Convert.FromBase64String( myelm.Value ) );
return XDocument.Parse( mystring );
public string SetDeploymentConfig( string configurationFile )
string uri = string.Format( this.servicePropertiesOperationFormat, this.subscriptionID, this.serviceName, "production", "/?comp=config" );
ServiceManagementOperation operation = new ServiceManagementOperation( this.thumbprint, this.versionID );
string payloadString = string.Format(
@"<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""utf-8""?>
<ChangeConfiguration xmlns=""http://schemas.microsoft.com/windowsazure"">
<Configuration>{0}</Configuration>
</ChangeConfiguration>", configurationFile );
XDocument payload = XDocument.Parse( payloadString );
return operation.Invoke( uri, payload );Hi,
From my experience, if you add one role instance, the whole cloud service will run in translating state, and this cloud service will stop to working, so maybe this is a future request.
