Kendo DataSource with Signal in Web Farm

[Allison]

Hello,

I am looking to use the Kendo data source with SignalR.  Will all of the clients get the update on all machines in a web farm if I use the autosync: true configuration on the data source? Have you tested the data source with the SignalR backplane?

Thanks,
Allison

Do I need to create an official trouble ticket to get a response??? Did I post in the wrong place???

Hi Allison,


When the ("signalr") dataSource "autoSync" configuration option is set to true, the dataSource will sync all changes immediately with the Hub, and then the Hub is responsible for updating all other connected clients with the current changes. You can check the following example which demonstrates such scenario:

• Grid / Binding to SignalR

Thank you Vladimir.
I have seen the demo and implemented it as well. However, I just want to know if Telerik has tested the functionality on a web farm with multiple servers with the SignalR Back Plane. Your tool should all work as the distribution of messages should all be part of the SignalR infrastructure but there are a lot of software products that should work and don't. So I want confirmation from Telerik that you have tested the functionality in a web farm environment and that I can feel confident that when I deploy to a web farm the Kendo database autosync will all work like it does on one web server.

Hi Allison,

We have not yet tested such configuration, however as this case depends entirely on the SignalR library it should work as expected. Additionally you can test such configuration on your side with your specific scenario as there are some limitations of the SignalR library in such scenarios:
