Importing data using NService Bus

Question

Using NService Bus. 2.00.19 (with MSMQ and SQL 2008)

We want to import data into our system.
The files could be quite large so we have Background Processor that will read a message from the Bus. This could take an hour to process.

Have other people done this? Is a Saga the best way forward?

Answer 1

If it's just a single message, then you might not need a saga. That being said, you may find it useful to have the endpoint reading off of the file send multiple messages each one containing one "row", and you might then find some use for a saga to track progress.
