  1. Solution
  • Use EF Core ChangeTracker inside a domain event handler (or a SaveChanges interceptor) to read original values. ABP’s EntityUpdatedEventData<T> doesn’t carry old values by design, but you can access EF Core’s OriginalValues and compare.
using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;
  using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.ChangeTracking;
  using Volo.Abp.Domain.Entities.Events;
  using Volo.Abp.EventBus.Local;
  using Volo.Abp.Identity;

  public class IdentityUserUpdatedHandler :
      ILocalEventHandler<EntityUpdatedEventData<IdentityUser>>
  {
      private readonly IDbContextProvider<IIdentityDbContext> _dbContextProvider; // or your unified DbContext provider

      public IdentityUserUpdatedHandler(IDbContextProvider<IIdentityDbContext> dbContextProvider)
      {
          _dbContextProvider = dbContextProvider;
      }

      public async Task HandleEventAsync(EntityUpdatedEventData<IdentityUser> eventData)
      {
          // Ensure we are in the same UoW/DbContext where the change is tracked
          var dbContext = await _dbContextProvider.GetDbContextAsync();

          // Get the tracked Entry for this entity
          var entry = dbContext.Entry(eventData.Entity);
          if (entry.State != EntityState.Modified)
          {
              // Not tracked or not modified in this context
              return;
          }

          // Read original and current values
          var originalName = entry.OriginalValues[nameof(IdentityUser.Name)]?.ToString();
          var currentName  = entry.CurrentValues[nameof(IdentityUser.Name)]?.ToString();

          var originalSurname = entry.OriginalValues[nameof(IdentityUser.Surname)]?.ToString();
          var currentSurname  = entry.CurrentValues[nameof(IdentityUser.Surname)]?.ToString();

          var nameChanged = !string.Equals(originalName, currentName, StringComparison.Ordinal);
          var surnameChanged = !string.Equals(originalSurname, currentSurname, StringComparison.Ordinal);

          if (nameChanged || surnameChanged)
          {
              // Your logic here (publish another event, call a service, etc.)
          }
      }
  }

Notes:

  • Inject the IDbContextProvider for the DbContext that tracks IdentityUser (e.g., your unified AppDbContext if you call builder.ConfigureIdentity()).

  • This handler must run within the same Unit of Work as the update so the Entry has OriginalValues. ABP’s auto entity events are published in the same UoW as of v5+, so this works when your update happens via repositories/UoW.

  • Alternative: EF Core SaveChanges interceptor If you prefer not to rely on the local event to get original values, you can implement an interceptor that always has access to ChangeTracker before saving:

using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;
  using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Diagnostics;
  using Volo.Abp.Identity;

  public class UserNameChangeInterceptor : SaveChangesInterceptor
  {
      public override InterceptionResult<int> SavingChanges(DbContextEventData eventData, InterceptionResult<int> result)
      {
          var context = eventData.Context;
          if (context == null) return base.SavingChanges(eventData, result);

          foreach (var entry in context.ChangeTracker.Entries<IdentityUser>().Where(e => e.State == EntityState.Modified))
          {
              var originalName = entry.OriginalValues[nameof(IdentityUser.Name)]?.ToString();
              var currentName  = entry.CurrentValues[nameof(IdentityUser.Name)]?.ToString();
              var originalSurname = entry.OriginalValues[nameof(IdentityUser.Surname)]?.ToString();
              var currentSurname  = entry.CurrentValues[nameof(IdentityUser.Surname)]?.ToString();

              if (!string.Equals(originalName, currentName, StringComparison.Ordinal) ||
                  !string.Equals(originalSurname, currentSurname, StringComparison.Ordinal))
              {
                  // Your logic here
              }
          }

          return base.SavingChanges(eventData, result);
      }
  }

Register the interceptor in your DbContextOptions during module ConfigureServices.

  • Why not use audit logs? ABP’s audit logging can record entity change sets including old/new property values, but it’s intended for logging. If you need runtime logic when Name/Surname changes, the ChangeTracker approach is the correct, supported way.

  1. Solution
  • Root cause: When using the distributed event bus (RabbitMQ), the handler runs in a background consumer without an HTTP scope, so there is no ambient tenant set automatically. IdentityUserCreatedEto contains TenantId; you must set the tenant context for the duration of your handler to resolve tenant-scoped services/settings correctly.

  • Quick fix (wrap the handler body in ICurrentTenant.Change):

using Volo.Abp.MultiTenancy;

  public class AccountIdentityUserCreatedEventHandler :
      IDistributedEventHandler<IdentityUserCreatedEto>,
      ITransientDependency
  {
      protected IdentityUserManager UserManager { get; }
      protected IAccountEmailer AccountEmailer { get; }
      protected ISettingProvider SettingProvider { get; }
      protected ICurrentTenant CurrentTenant { get; }

      public AccountIdentityUserCreatedEventHandler(
          IdentityUserManager userManager,
          IAccountEmailer accountEmailer,
          ISettingProvider settingProvider,
          ICurrentTenant currentTenant)
      {
          UserManager = userManager;
          AccountEmailer = accountEmailer;
          SettingProvider = settingProvider;
          CurrentTenant = currentTenant;
      }

      public async Task HandleEventAsync(IdentityUserCreatedEto eventData)
      {
          using (CurrentTenant.Change(eventData.TenantId))
          {
              if (eventData.Properties["SendConfirmationEmail"] == true.ToString().ToUpper() &&
                  await SettingProvider.IsTrueAsync(IdentitySettingNames.SignIn.RequireConfirmedEmail))
              {
                  var user = await UserManager.GetByIdAsync(eventData.Id);
                  var confirmationToken = await UserManager.GenerateEmailConfirmationTokenAsync(user);
                  await AccountEmailer.SendEmailConfirmationLinkAsync(
                      user,
                      confirmationToken,
                      eventData.Properties.GetOrDefault("AppName") ?? "MVC"
                  );
              }
          }
      }
  }
  • This ensures SettingProvider (and any tenant-scoped logic like repositories, feature checks, etc.) work under the correct tenant.

  • If you need host-level settings for some reason, wrap only the required code block with Change(null).

  • Notes:

    • In-memory distributed bus handlers run in-process and may inherit the ambient tenant from the publisher scope; RabbitMQ consumers don’t, so you must explicitly set it.
    • IdentityUserCreatedEto includes TenantId; rely on it to set the tenant scope before accessing tenant-scoped services.

Answer
  1. Solution You have three reliable ways to run custom logic specifically when an admin updates a user via PUT api/identity/users/{id} and also compare old vs. new values (e.g., Surname changes):

A) Override the IdentityUserAppService UpdateAsync (best if you only need to affect this specific endpoint)

  • Create your own application service deriving from IdentityUserAppService and replace the service via dependency injection.
  • Read the existing user first, keep a snapshot, call base.UpdateAsync (or replicate the logic), then compare and run your custom code.
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Volo.Abp.Application.Services;
using Volo.Abp.DependencyInjection;
using Volo.Abp.Identity;
using Volo.Abp.Users;

[Dependency(ReplaceServices = true)]
public class MyIdentityUserAppService : IdentityUserAppService
{
    public MyIdentityUserAppService(
        IdentityUserManager userManager,
        IIdentityUserRepository userRepository,
        IIdentityRoleRepository roleRepository)
        : base(userManager, userRepository, roleRepository)
    {
    }

    public override async Task<IdentityUserDto> UpdateAsync(Guid id, IdentityUserUpdateDto input)
    {
        // Load current (old) values
        var oldUser = await UserRepository.GetAsync(id);
        var oldSurname = oldUser.Surname;
        var oldEmail = oldUser.Email;

        // Call the default update pipeline
        var result = await base.UpdateAsync(id, input);

        // Compare with new values
        var newSurname = result.Surname;
        var newEmail = result.Email;

        if (!string.Equals(oldSurname, newSurname, StringComparison.Ordinal))
        {
            // Your logic when surname changed
            // e.g., publish a distributed event, call an external service, etc.
        }

        if (!string.Equals(oldEmail, newEmail, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
        {
            // Your logic when email changed
        }

        return result;
    }
}
  • Registering with [Dependency(ReplaceServices = true)] ensures your app service is used for the /api/identity/users/{id} endpoint. This gives you precise control and easy old/new comparison.

B) Override/extend IdentityUserManager (when you want to enforce logic at the domain level)

  • If you need invariant business rules regardless of which app service updates users, customize IdentityUserManager, intercept setters or update methods and implement comparisons there. This is more invasive but centralizes the logic. In ABP 8, IdentityUserManager includes IDistributedEventBus injection to publish events on email/username changes.

C) Use extension to the admin UI and profile UI (if you need UI-driven logic) – not required for backend comparison but helpful when you also need to surface or control fields. For DTO extra properties to flow correctly through built-in services (like profile), ensure module extension mappings are applied to the related DTOs:

public class MyModule : AbpModule
{
    private static readonly OneTimeRunner OneTimeRunner = new OneTimeRunner();

    public override void PostConfigureServices(ServiceConfigurationContext context)
    {
        OneTimeRunner.Run(() =>
        {
            ModuleExtensionConfigurationHelper.ApplyEntityConfigurationToApi(
                IdentityModuleExtensionConsts.ModuleName,
                IdentityModuleExtensionConsts.EntityNames.User,
                getApiTypes: new[] { typeof(IdentityUserDto), typeof(ProfileDto) },
                createApiTypes: new[] { typeof(IdentityUserCreateDto) },
                updateApiTypes: new[] { typeof(IdentityUserUpdateDto), typeof(UpdateProfileDto) }
            );
        });
    }
}

Notes about “events get called a lot” and comparing old/new data:

  • Domain/Event handlers like EntityUpdated are broad and can fire from different code paths. If you only care about the admin PUT endpoint, approach A is the most targeted.
  • If you still prefer events, you can load the previous state before the operation in your app service, attach it to the event payload you publish, or include both old and new in a custom distributed event so handlers can compare safely.
  • For specific changes (like email/username), ABP 8 added distributed events from IdentityUserManager so downstream code can know old values. For other fields like Surname, do the old/new comparison yourself in UpdateAsync as shown.

  1. Solution The 404 on IIS for module Razor Pages typically means the pages are not discovered at runtime on the server. In ABP modular monoliths this happens when the module’s Razor Pages and embedded resources aren’t registered or published correctly, or when middleware order misses virtual files.

Apply the checklist below and republish:

  • Ensure each module’s Web module depends on AbpAspNetCoreMvcModule and registers embedded Razor Pages:
[DependsOn(
      typeof(AbpAspNetCoreMvcModule)
      // + other dependencies...
  )]
  public class LmsWebModule : AbpModule
  {
      public override void ConfigureServices(ServiceConfigurationContext context)
      {
          // Allow ABP to find embedded Razor pages of this module
          Configure<AbpVirtualFileSystemOptions>(options =>
          {
              options.FileSets.AddEmbedded<LmsWebModule>();
          });

          context.Services
              .AddRazorPages()
              .AddApplicationPart(typeof(LmsWebModule).Assembly);
      }

      public override void OnApplicationInitialization(ApplicationInitializationContext context)
      {
          var app = context.GetApplicationBuilder();
          var env = context.GetEnvironment();

          if (env.IsDevelopment())
          {
              app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
          }

          app.UseStaticFiles();
          app.UseRouting();

          app.UseAuthentication();
          app.UseAuthorization();

          // IMPORTANT for ABP virtual/embedded files (including Razor pages/views)
          app.UseAbp(); // ensures UseAbpVirtualFiles inside the pipeline

          app.UseConfiguredEndpoints(); // maps Razor Pages
      }
  }
  • In the main web host module, also ensure AddRazorPages().AddApplicationPart(...) for each module that contains pages (or rely on conventional discovery by referencing the module assembly).
  • In ConfigureServices of the main web host, if you use Razor Class Libraries, you can also add:
services.AddControllersWithViews()
            .AddApplicationPart(typeof(LmsWebModule).Assembly)
            .AddControllersAsServices();
    services.AddRazorPages()
            .AddApplicationPart(typeof(LmsWebModule).Assembly);
  • Make sure the module assemblies that contain the Razor Pages are referenced by the host web project so they’re copied to publish output. In the host .csproj:
<ItemGroup>
    <ProjectReference Include="..\..\modules\Lms\src\Lms.Web\Lms.Web.csproj" />
    <!-- repeat for other modules that have Razor Pages -->
  </ItemGroup>

If you pack modules as NuGet packages, ensure the package is referenced by the host and contains the compiled Razor views (RCL).

  • Verify wwwroot and ABP virtual files are served in IIS:
    • In the host’s module initialization:
      • app.UseStaticFiles();
      • app.MapAbpStaticAssets(); (ABP 9+ web apps) or app.UseAbp() which registers UseAbpVirtualFiles.
    • Confirm that the publish includes static content:
<ItemGroup>
      <Content Include="wwwroot\**\*">
        <CopyToPublishDirectory>Always</CopyToPublishDirectory>
      </Content>
    </ItemGroup>
  • Remove IIS WebDAV for non-GET verbs if you also see 405 on POST/PUT/DELETE (commonly blocks form posts or antiforgery flows): Web.config snippet under system.webServer:
<modules>
    <remove name="WebDAVModule" />
  </modules>
  <handlers>
    <remove name="WebDAV" />
  </handlers>
  • Publishing notes:
    • Use dotnet publish for Release and deploy the publish folder to IIS. Ensure all module assemblies are present in the publish output.
    • If you see “multiple publish output files with same relative path” for Razor Pages across modules (e.g., duplicate Pages/_ViewImports.cshtml), either rename conflicting files or set:
<PropertyGroup>
      <ErrorOnDuplicatePublishOutputFiles>false</ErrorOnDuplicatePublishOutputFiles>
    </PropertyGroup>
in the host web project as a workaround.
  • Middleware order sanity check (host application):
app.UseCorrelationId();
  app.UseStaticFiles();
  app.UseRouting();
  app.UseAuthentication();
  app.UseAuthorization();

  app.UseAbp(); // registers ABP middleware incl. virtual files and localization, etc.

  app.UseConfiguredEndpoints(); // ABP maps controllers and Razor Pages
  • Diagnose on server:
    • Hitting your check-razor-pages endpoint returned empty because PageActionDescriptors weren’t discovered. After applying AddRazorPages().AddApplicationPart(moduleAsm) and ensuring assemblies are present, re-check: you should see ViewEnginePath/RelativePath entries and non-empty count. Also verify that AttributeRouteInfo can be null for Razor Pages; rely on ViewEnginePath/RouteValues instead of RouteTemplate.

If these steps are applied, the same module Razor Pages that work locally will be discovered and served on IIS.

  1. Solution Your logs show the menu items are protected by permissions but your logged-in user doesn’t have them granted. In ABP, menu items are commonly added with requiredPermissionName. If the user lacks that permission, the item is hidden and you’ll see “Authorization failed … PermissionRequirement: X” in logs, as you have (CmsKit.SettingManagement, CmsKit.PageFeedback.SettingManagement, Forms.Form).

Fix it by granting the required permissions to the user/role, or by removing the permission requirements from menu items if you want them always visible.

Step-by-step (recommended)

  • Ensure Permission Management is reachable in your app (it is included by default in the standard app templates).
  • Log in as admin (host or the related tenant).
  • Open Administration -> Identity -> Roles -> edit the Admin role -> Permissions.
  • Search and grant the missing permissions you see in the logs:
    • CmsKit.SettingManagement
    • CmsKit.PageFeedback.SettingManagement
    • Forms.Form (and other Forms.* if needed)
  • Save, then log out and log back in (or refresh) to reload claims/permissions.
  • If you use multi-tenancy, grant them on the correct side:
    • Host-side admin: switch to Host and grant on host.
    • Tenant-side admin: switch to the specific tenant and grant on tenant.
  • In microservice apps, ensure the Web (UI) application is calling the correct Auth/Identity endpoints and the Permission Management module is installed/enabled in the same tenant/side.

Optional checks

  • Verify menu contributors use requiredPermissionName matching those permissions. Example:
context.Menu.AddItem(
      new ApplicationMenuItem(
          "CmsKit.Settings",
          L["Menu:CmsSettings"],
          url: "/CmsKit/Settings",
          icon: "fa fa-cog",
          requiredPermissionName: CmsKitPermissions.SettingManagement
      )
  );

If requiredPermissionName is set, the user must have that permission.

  • If you seed permissions by code, confirm the seeder actually runs for the current tenant/side and grants these permissions to the Admin role:
await _permissionManager.SetForRoleAsync("admin", CmsKitPermissions.SettingManagement, true);
  await _permissionManager.SetForRoleAsync("admin", CmsKitPermissions.PageFeedback.SettingManagement, true);
  await _permissionManager.SetForRoleAsync("admin", "Forms.Form", true);
  • If you recently enabled modules (CmsKit, Forms), run DbMigrator for new permissions and ensure their packages/modules are added to the Web and HttpApi services, and that permission definitions appear under Permission Management UI.
  • Clear/refresh caches:
    • Redis/Dist cache if used.
    • Sign out/in to refresh the authentication ticket.

  1. Solution
  • Root cause

    • Angular’s PermissionService reads grantedPolicies from the Application Configuration endpoint (/api/abp/application-configuration). On the backend, this endpoint builds grantedPolicies using IPermissionChecker.IsGrantedAsync(string[] names) to evaluate multiple permissions at once for efficiency.
    • In current ABP, the single-permission check and multi-permission check use different resolution flows: for a single permission, all registered PermissionValueProviders participate and any Prohibited overrides Granted (as documented). For multiple permissions, the evaluation short-circuits by returning the first non-Undefined result from the providers, so provider registration order affects the outcome. If your custom PermissionValueProvider that returns Prohibited is registered after a provider that returns Granted, the multi-permission path may never “see” your Prohibited result. This leads to grantedPolicies including PermissionA even though your backend AuthorizationService.CheckAsync("PermissionA") fails (because Check/IsGranted for a single permission considers all providers and respects Prohibited-overrides-Granted).
  • How to get consistent results (server and Angular)

    1. Ensure your custom provider runs before the built-ins when building grantedPolicies
      • Register your provider at the beginning, so its Prohibited can take precedence in the multi-permission path used by application configuration.
      • Example:
Configure<PermissionOptions>(options =>
       {
           // Insert at the beginning to ensure it’s checked first
           options.ValueProviders.Insert(0, typeof(MyCustomPermissionValueProvider));
           // If you previously used Add(), it appends to the end — change it to Insert(0, ...)
       });
  1. Prefer single-permission checks when building grantedPolicies
    • If you have overridden the AbpApplicationConfigurationAppService or produce your own grantedPolicies map, ensure you use IPermissionChecker.IsGrantedAsync(string name) per permission instead of the overload that accepts a list. That guarantees the “all providers participate, Prohibited overrides Granted” behavior for each permission:
// Pseudocode inside your configuration builder
       foreach (var permission in permissionDefinitionManager.GetPermissions())
       {
           var granted = await permissionChecker.IsGrantedAsync(permission.Name);
           if (granted)
           {
               dto.Auth.GrantedPolicies[permission.Name] = true;
           }
       }
 - If you haven’t overridden anything, fixing provider order (step 1) is typically sufficient.
  1. If you must use the multi-permission overload for performance, enforce provider precedence
    • Keep using IsGrantedAsync(string[] names) but make sure your custom provider is ordered first (Insert(0, ...)). This ensures the first non-Undefined is your Prohibited result for any permissions it handles.
  2. Double-check your provider logic
    • Return PermissionGrantResult.Prohibited only for the permissions you truly want to block.
    • Return PermissionGrantResult.Undefined for everything else so other providers can participate (role, user, client, etc.).
  • Verification checklist
    • Register your custom provider via Insert(0, typeof(MyCustomPermissionValueProvider)).
    • Confirm /api/abp/application-configuration returns auth.grantedPolicies without the prohibited permission.
    • Confirm Angular’s this.permissionService.getGrantedPolicy('PermissionA') returns false.
    • Confirm backend AuthorizationService.CheckAsync("PermissionA") throws as expected.

  1. Solution
  • What exit code -42 means in ABP Studio

    • In ABP Studio, “exited with code: -42” indicates the target app (e.g., HttpApi.Host, Web.Public) terminated unexpectedly soon after start. It’s typically caused by an unhandled startup failure (ports, configuration, missing env/deps), not by ABP Framework itself. The Solution Runner then keeps attempting restarts.
  • Likely causes from your log and setup

    • HTTPS port conflict or reservation: Studio probes health endpoints at 44302/44383 and the UI at 44382. If these ports are blocked, reserved by HTTP.SYS, or fall into Windows excluded port ranges, the app can start then crash.
    • Certificate/HTTPS binding issues: Kestrel can fail when the dev cert is missing/untrusted on new machines.
    • PostgreSQL connectivity: With Separate Tenant Schema + initial migration run, any wrong connection string or unreachable DB can kill the host at startup.
    • NuGet feeds/tooling: If global NuGet.config forces an unreachable private source for tools or packages, builds can succeed partially but runtime may fail later during dynamic restore.
    • Environment differences between machines: Missing .NET SDKs required by the solution, or prereqs not present.
  • Fix checklist (perform on every affected machine)

    1. Verify .NET SDKs
      • Install the SDKs targeted by your solution (check global.json and csproj TargetFramework). Ensure dotnet --info shows them.
    2. Clean/restore/build once outside Studio
      • From the solution folder:
        • dotnet clean
        • dotnet restore
        • dotnet build -c Debug
      • If build fails, fix errors first.
    3. Ensure HTTPS dev certificate is installed and trusted
      • dotnet dev-certs https --clean
      • dotnet dev-certs https --trust
    4. Free or remap ports
      • Check excluded/occupied ports:
        • netsh interface ipv4 show excludedportrange protocol=TCP
        • netsh http show urlacl
        • netstat -ano | findstr :44382
      • If 44302/44382/44383 are in excluded ranges or used, change ports:
        • In each app’s appsettings.json (or launchSettings.json), change Kestrel:Endpoints:Https:Url (and Health endpoints) to free ports, or in ABP Studio Runner profile set different ports, then run again.
    5. Trust local hostnames
      • Make sure you browse the exact HTTPS URLs Studio opens. If the browser prompts for cert trust, accept it.
    6. Verify PostgreSQL connectivity
      • Confirm the default connection string in your HttpApi.Host appsettings.* points to a reachable PostgreSQL instance with correct credentials.
      • Test with psql or a client using the same host, port, db, user, password.
      • If you use separate schemas per tenant, ensure the database exists and the migrator was executed successfully.
    7. Re-run the DbMigrator
      • From src/OPUSNova.DbMigrator:
        • dotnet run
      • Fix any migration/connection errors it shows.
    8. Check global NuGet config for unreachable private feeds
      • If you have a company NuGet feed configured globally that is not reachable on some machines, it can break tool/package restore. Remove or disable it temporarily in %AppData%\NuGet\NuGet.Config or related config files and keep nuget.org active.
      • This exact issue was reported and fixed by removing a stale private feed from NuGet.Config.
    9. Start projects manually to see first exception
      • Run OPUSNova.HttpApi.Host from command line:
        • dotnet run
      • Observe the first thrown exception/stack trace in the console; it often reveals the exact root cause that Studio abstracts as exit code -42.
    10. ABP Studio prerequisites
    • Ensure ABP Studio CLI is installed and can run:
      • abp cli version
    • If it fails due to NuGet source issues, fix NuGet.Config as in step 8.
  • Notes for Blazor WASM + Public Website profile

    • The Blazor (WASM) and Public site rely on the HTTP API host being up. If the host crashes (-42), both health checks will fail and Studio restarts them. Fixing the host’s startup error usually resolves the rest.

  1. Solution
  • Read/Write separation (CQRS-friendly)
    • Use CQRS at the application layer: create dedicated query application services (read side) and command application services (write side). Keep domain logic in domain services; keep queries out of domain services and preferentially in repositories or a separate query layer.
    • Unit of Work: Commands run within ABP’s UoW by default; mark pure read methods as not transactional to avoid locking/overhead:
public class AccountQueryAppService : ApplicationService
    {
        private readonly IReadOnlyRepository<Account, Guid> _accountRepo;

        public AccountQueryAppService(IReadOnlyRepository<Account, Guid> accountRepo)
        {
            _accountRepo = accountRepo;
        }

        [UnitOfWork(IsTransactional = false)]
        public virtual async Task<AccountSummaryDto> GetSummaryAsync(Guid id)
        {
            var query = await _accountRepo.GetQueryableAsync();
            var dto = await query.Where(x => x.Id == id)
                                 .Select(x => new AccountSummaryDto { Id = x.Id, Balance = x.Balance })
                                 .FirstOrDefaultAsync();
            return dto;
        }
    }
  • Read replicas: configure a read-only DbContext for queries via a separate connection string and DI registration. Use a custom repository or a second DbContext with [UnitOfWork(IsTransactional = false)] for read operations to direct them to the replica. Example:
[ConnectionStringName("ReadOnly")]
    public class ReadOnlyDbContext : AbpDbContext<ReadOnlyDbContext>
    {
        public DbSet<Account> Accounts { get; set; }
        public ReadOnlyDbContext(DbContextOptions<ReadOnlyDbContext> options) : base(options) { }
        protected override void OnConfiguring(DbContextOptionsBuilder builder)
        {
            base.OnConfiguring(builder);
            builder.UseQueryTrackingBehavior(QueryTrackingBehavior.NoTracking);
        }
    }

    public class ReadOnlyAccountRepository : IReadOnlyRepository<Account, Guid>
    {
        private readonly ReadOnlyDbContext _dbContext;
        public ReadOnlyAccountRepository(ReadOnlyDbContext dbContext) { _dbContext = dbContext; }

        public async Task<IQueryable<Account>> GetQueryableAsync()
            => await Task.FromResult(_dbContext.Set<Account>().AsNoTracking());
    }
  • Commands continue to use the default write DbContext/connection. This isolates read traffic to replicas and protects OLTP writes.

  • Reporting architecture

    • Offload heavy reports to background jobs or distributed events to prepare report data asynchronously and store in a reporting database/schema. Use ABP Background Jobs to schedule/execute report preparation without blocking transactional operations.
public class PrepareDailyLedgerJobArgs { public DateOnly Date { get; set; } }

    public class PrepareDailyLedgerJob : AsyncBackgroundJob<PrepareDailyLedgerJobArgs>
    {
        private readonly IReportProjectionService _projection;
        public PrepareDailyLedgerJob(IReportProjectionService projection) { _projection = projection; }

        public override async Task ExecuteAsync(PrepareDailyLedgerJobArgs args)
        {
            await _projection.BuildDailyLedgerAsync(args.Date); // read from OLTP, write into reporting store
        }
    }
  • Use the Event Bus to publish domain events on transaction commit; a subscriber projects them into a reporting model (append-only or summarized aggregates). This keeps OLTP queries simple and reporting isolated.

  • Data stores: keep OLTP in SQL Server; create a separate reporting database (same SQL Server or separate instance). Point reporting UI to the reporting DB or read-only context.

  • Caching strategy (financial data)

    • Use ABP’s caching abstractions (ICache<T>, IDistributedCache<T>) to cache read-heavy lookups, reference data, and computed aggregates that are safe to cache.
public class CurrencyRatesCacheItem
    {
        public DateTime AsOf { get; set; }
        public Dictionary<string, decimal> Rates { get; set; } = new();
    }

    public class CurrencyRateAppService : ApplicationService
    {
        private readonly IDistributedCache<CurrencyRatesCacheItem> _cache;
        public CurrencyRateAppService(IDistributedCache<CurrencyRatesCacheItem> cache) { _cache = cache; }

        [UnitOfWork(IsTransactional = false)]
        public virtual async Task<CurrencyRatesCacheItem> GetRatesAsync()
        {
            return await _cache.GetOrAddAsync(
                "CurrencyRates:Current",
                async () => await LoadRatesAsync(),
                () => new DistributedCacheEntryOptions { AbsoluteExpirationRelativeToNow = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5) }
            );
        }
    }
  • Distributed cache: prefer Redis in production. Configure ABP to use Redis for IDistributedCache and ABP’s caching abstractions.
  • Invalidation: tie cache invalidation to command paths using event handlers triggered after successful UoW commit. Invalidate minimal keys. For transactional consistency, invalidate after commit using IUnitOfWorkManager.Current?.OnCompleted(async () => { ... }) to avoid stale caches on rollback.
public class TransactionAppService : ApplicationService
    {
        private readonly IDistributedCache<AccountSummaryDto> _cache;
        private readonly IRepository<Transaction, Guid> _txRepo;
        private readonly IUnitOfWorkManager _uowManager;

        public async Task PostAsync(CreateTransactionDto input)
        {
            await _txRepo.InsertAsync(Map(input));
            await CurrentUnitOfWork.SaveChangesAsync();
            _uowManager.Current.OnCompleted(async () =>
            {
                await _cache.RemoveAsync($"AccountSummary:{input.AccountId}");
            });
        }
    }
  • Avoid caching mutable balances unless you can tolerate staleness for a short TTL; otherwise, cache reference data and computed report snapshots.

  • Database optimization

    • Indexing: create composite indexes for your most frequent WHERE/ORDER BY patterns used by read queries; include columns that are selected often to cover queries. Keep indexes on write-heavy tables minimal and focused.
    • EF Core with ABP:
      • Use AsNoTracking for read queries; set global QueryTrackingBehavior.NoTracking for read-only DbContext.
      • Use projection (Select) to DTO/anonymous types; avoid loading aggregates for read.
      • Paginate consistently; avoid N+1 by joining/projection.
      • Prefer compiled queries for ultra-hot paths if needed.
    • Connection pooling: rely on ADO.NET pooling; ensure a bounded DbContext lifetime (scoped). Use Min/Max pool settings in connection strings only if necessary after measuring.
    • Read-only connections: configure separate read-only connection string and DbContext as shown above; ensure the login/user has read-only permissions for that database to protect OLTP. Use [UnitOfWork(IsTransactional = false)] and AsNoTracking with that context.
  • Additional ABP recommendations that help at scale

    • Background processing: move long-running, aggregating, and export tasks to Background Jobs. For higher throughput and visibility, integrate Hangfire with ABP (Commercial also supports it) and execute report builders there.
    • Event-driven projections: use ABP’s distributed event bus to maintain reporting read models asynchronously; keep handlers idempotent and simple.
    • Concurrency control: use ABP’s concurrency stamp (IHasConcurrencyStamp) on financial entities that may be edited via UI to prevent lost updates during parallel modifications.
  • Configuration checklist for your monolith

    • Separate connection strings:
      • Default: OLTP read/write
      • ReadOnly: replica/secondary
    • Register a read-only DbContext and repositories for queries.
    • Add Redis and configure ABP to use distributed cache.
    • Mark query services with [UnitOfWork(IsTransactional = false)] and use AsNoTracking.
    • Move reports to background jobs, store results in reporting DB, and query the reporting DB from the UI.
    • Add targeted indexes that match top queries for dashboards/reports.

  1. Solution
  • Yes, you can reuse the HttpApi.Client from your MVC Tiered solution in another ABP application (your MVC Single Layer app). That is exactly what ABP’s client proxy system is designed for.
  • What to add to the Single Layer app:
    1. Reference the Tiered app’s HttpApi.Client project (Acme.YourApp.HttpApi.Client) and the Application.Contracts project if you want to use the service interfaces in your own Application layer.
    2. In the Single Layer app’s main module (typically the Web module), depend on the HttpApi.Client module:
[DependsOn(
         typeof(AbpHttpClientIdentityModelModule), // needed if you authenticate with OpenID Connect/IdentityModel
         typeof(YourAppHttpApiClientModule)       // from the Tiered app
     )]
     public class YourSingleWebModule : AbpModule
     {
         public override void ConfigureServices(ServiceConfigurationContext context)
         {
             // Remote service base URL
             Configure<AbpRemoteServiceOptions>(options =>
             {
                 options.RemoteServices.Default = new RemoteServiceConfiguration("https://your-tiered-api-root");
             });
         }
     }
  1. Configure appsettings.json in the Single Layer app:
{
       "RemoteServices": {
         "Default": {
           "BaseUrl": "https://your-tiered-api-root"
         }
       }
     }
 - If your HttpApi.Client module uses a custom remote service name, configure that key instead of Default. The key must match the remote service name used during proxy registration.
  1. Use the endpoints the same way: inject the application service interfaces (from Application.Contracts) and call them. The client proxies will translate your calls into HTTP requests automatically.
public class MyPageModel : PageModel
     {
         private readonly IBookAppService _bookAppService;

         public MyPageModel(IBookAppService bookAppService)
         {
             _bookAppService = bookAppService;
         }

         public async Task OnGetAsync()
         {
             var result = await _bookAppService.GetListAsync();
             // use result.Items...
         }
     }
  • Authorized requests (token handling):
    • If your Tiered app uses OpenIddict/IdentityServer and the Single Layer app must call it with a user/access token, add IdentityModel-based authentication:
      1. Add package Volo.Abp.Http.Client.IdentityModel to the Single Layer app and depend on AbpHttpClientIdentityModelModule (as shown above).
      2. Configure IdentityModel authentication in appsettings.json (Resource Owner Password or Client Credentials flow, depending on your scenario): Resource Owner Password (acting on behalf of a user):
{
         "IdentityClients": {
           "Default": {
             "Authority": "https://your-auth-server",
             "GrantType": "password",
             "ClientId": "YourClientId",
             "ClientSecret": "YourClientSecret",
             "UserName": "admin",
             "UserPassword": "1q2w3E*",
             "Scope": "openid profile email roles YourApp"
           }
         }
       }
   Client Credentials (service-to-service):
{
         "IdentityClients": {
           "Default": {
             "Authority": "https://your-auth-server",
             "GrantType": "client_credentials",
             "ClientId": "YourMachineClient",
             "ClientSecret": "YourClientSecret",
             "Scope": "YourApp"
           }
         }
       }
3) With AbpHttpClientIdentityModelModule added, ABP automatically obtains tokens and sends authorized requests for all configured client proxies.
  • Alternatively, if you sign users in to the Single Layer MVC app with OIDC, you can forward the current user’s access token to the remote service by implementing IRemoteServiceHttpClientAuthenticator and setting the Authorization header from the current user’s token. Example:
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication;
    using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http;
    using Volo.Abp.DependencyInjection;
    using Volo.Abp.Http.Client.Authentication;

    [Dependency(ReplaceServices = true)]
    [ExposeServices(typeof(IRemoteServiceHttpClientAuthenticator))]
    public class CurrentUserRemoteServiceAuthenticator :
        IRemoteServiceHttpClientAuthenticator, ITransientDependency
    {
        private readonly IHttpContextAccessor _httpContextAccessor;

        public CurrentUserRemoteServiceAuthenticator(IHttpContextAccessor httpContextAccessor)
        {
            _httpContextAccessor = httpContextAccessor;
        }

        public async Task Authenticate(RemoteServiceHttpClientAuthenticateContext context)
        {
            var httpContext = _httpContextAccessor.HttpContext;
            if (httpContext == null) return;

            var accessToken = await httpContext.GetTokenAsync("access_token");
            if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(accessToken))
            {
                context.Request.Headers.Authorization =
                    new System.Net.Http.Headers.AuthenticationHeaderValue("Bearer", accessToken);
            }
        }
    }
  • Things to pay attention to:
    • RemoteServices name: Ensure the name used in AddHttpClientProxies/AddStaticHttpClientProxies matches your RemoteServices configuration key. If you keep “Default”, configure RemoteServices:Default.
    • CORS and URLs: Use the public, reachable base URL of your Tiered API Host. If running behind a gateway/reverse proxy, point to that gateway.
    • Permissions: If endpoints are authorized by permissions, ensure the calling principal (user or client) has those permissions. For ROPC or Client Credentials, grant the needed permissions/roles/scopes.
    • Multi-tenancy: If using multi-tenancy, set current tenant when needed; ABP passes tenant info automatically if the token includes it. Otherwise configure X-Tenant-ID header when required.
    • Static vs dynamic proxies: Dynamic proxies work out-of-the-box with the HttpApi.Client module. Static proxies require abp generate-proxy and keeping them in sync after API changes.
