Upgrade to .NET 5.0

[abx78]

Problem Description

When linking the nuget packages to the project I get this warning:

warning NU1701: Package 'Microsoft.HPC.SDK 6.0.7205' was restored using '.NETFramework,Version=v4.6.1, .NETFramework,Version=v4.6.2, .NETFramework,Version=v4.7, .NETFramework,Version=v4.7.1, .NETFramework,Version=v4.7.2, .NETFramework,Version=v4.8' instead of the project target framework 'net5.0'. This package may not be fully compatible with your project.

Steps to Reproduce

When using the library various compatibility issues get raised. For example, calling the method ConnectServiceAsClient on the Scheduler raise an exception as Microsoft.Threading.Tasks, Version 1.0.12.0 cannot be found.

Hi abx78,

HPC Pack SDK does not support .Net 5 yet. The support is still on our roadmap.

Hi, @YutongSun . Are we still on track? Thanks. I guess we might need to consider .Net 6 or 7.

[YutongSun]

Yes, we shall consider .Net 7.

[MarcoEnxuto]

Thanks for the reply @YutongSun. Do you have an approximate ETA? Just to manage our expectations. Thanks.

[JDA88]

We will update our HPC farms early next year and the framwork will be base on .NET Core 7. Compatibility of the Microsoft.HPC.SDK with .NET Core would be very helpfull

[MarcoEnxuto]

Hi @YutongSun , do you have anything to share with us? Seems quite a while with no news at all.

[YutongSun]

@MarcoEnxuto @JDA88 Yes, we are planning a preview release later this year.

[YutongSun]

@MarcoEnxuto @JDA88 @abx78 , since we are working on the .Net 6 or .NetStandard 2.0 SDKs, could you help comment on the requirements? E.g. are you running the client on Windows? Is there any requirement for the client to run on Linux?

[JDA88]

On our side, running the client on Windows. Using mostly to connect to HeadNode, get job list, status and create / start / stop jobs.

I assume the SOA(WCF) will be deprecated and replaced with what?

[MarcoEnxuto]

Hi @YutongSun, is the same as @JDA88 said. Here's a quick question regarding this, are you planning adding events to the event viewer? Linux does not have event viewer, but has something similar....

We plan to continue to support SOA(WCF) in this new SDK release. And in the long run, we will provide an alternative SOA implementation.

We have limited events in event viewer and most detailed service logs can be found the service .bin log files. There is no plan to add back detailed events for the duplication.

The scenarios listed by @JDA88 sum it up. This is the typical way we post jobs is the following

var scheduler = new Scheduler();
scheduler.ConnectServiceAsClient(hpcCluster, () => username, username, password);
var job = scheduler.CreateJob();
job.OnJobState += (sender, arg) => OnJobStateChanged(sender, arg, job);
scheduler.AddJob(job);
scheduler.SubmitJobById(job.Id, username, password);

Thanks in advance

Ok. We're using event viewer to register every job passing through the Filters feature. Any updates regarding the expected roadmap?

[YutongSun]

We are still working on the roadmap planning.

FYI. We just released .Net SDK preview. Check it out here.
