DotNet Core 2.2 and any supported IDE for DEV running. Azure function SDK v2 is also required.
The forecasting jobs repository provides Azure Functions to automate the triggering of the forecasting process.
You are able to run in LOCAL mode, for this you need the following dependencies:
- Azure Storage - an entry should be created with a PartitionKey of LOCAL and a RowKey of
SFA.DAS.Forecasting.Jobs_1.0and a Data property
Your configuration file for Data should look like the following:
{
"AppName": "das-forecasting-jobs",
"ForecastingJobs": {
"LevyDeclarationPreLoadHttpFunctionXFunctionKey": "[LevyDeclarationPreLoadHttpFunctionXFunctionKey]",
"PaymentPreLoadHttpFunctionBaseUrl": "[PaymentPreLoadHttpFunctionBaseUrl]",
"PaymentPreLoadHttpFunctionXFunctionKey": "[PaymentPreLoadHttpFunctionXFunctionKey]",
"LevyDeclarationPreLoadHttpFunctionBaseUrl": "[LevyDeclarationPreLoadHttpFunctionBaseUrl]"
}
}
- it is also necessary to have the
SFA.DAS.Encodingconfig for running the forecasting functions
You will also require a local settings file like the following:
{
"IsEncrypted": false,
"Values": {
"AzureWebJobsStorage": "UseDevelopmentStorage=true",
"AzureWebJobsDashboard": "UseDevelopmentStorage=true",
"ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT": "DEV",
"FUNCTIONS_WORKER_RUNTIME": "dotnet",
"AppInsights_InstrumentationKey": "",
"ConfigNames": "SFA.DAS.Forecasting.Jobs,SFA.DAS.Encoding",
"ConfigurationStorageConnectionString": "UseDevelopmentStorage=true",
"EnvironmentName": "LOCAL",
"FUNCTIONS_EXTENSION_VERSION": "~2",
"LoggingRedisConnectionString": "",
"NServiceBusLicense": "[NServiceBusLicense]",
"ServiceBusConnectionString": "[ServiceBusConnectionString]"
}
}
This function is responsible for consuming events from the Employer Apprenticeship Service. It handles the following nServiceBus events:
- AccountFundsExpiredEvent
- RefreshEmployerLevyDataCompletedEvent
- RefreshPaymentDataCompletedEvent
The function act as a simple receiver for the above NServicebus events and then calls the existing HTTP triggered Azure functions which exist in das-forecasting tools.
