Excluding Machines in Triggered Jobs

Help Orchestrator
,
1

I am wondering if there is a way to exclude specific machines for triggered jobs in Orchestrator. For example, I have processes set up to run dynamically on any open machines when they need to run. But ideally I would like these processes to run on any of the open VMs except for one specific machine. Is it possible to exclude a specific machine but allow the process to run dynamically on any of the others?

Thanks

Hi @jpreziuso,

If I understood correctly what you want, you can choose Specific Robots for time based triggers

Then, you can choose the robots you want.

Will this run one time total on one of the specified machines? Or will it run once on EACH of the selected machines?

Hi @jpreziuso,

It will run on each selected machine.

If you want to run just like Dynamic Allocation does but choosing some robots, you need to create a new environment.

Let’s say you have: Robot1, Robot2, Robot3, Robot4 and Robot5. You don’t want Robot5 running this process and you want only one of the available Robots to run this process every 15 minutes.

So, create a new environment and allocate Robot1, Robot2, Robot3 and Robot4 to this new environemt. Finally, in your trigger choose dynamic allocation.

This applies to queue based triggers as well.

Probably, you will need to delete your process and create it again. This time, choose your new environment. Then, edit you trigger to select the process related to your new environment

This makes sense. I will attempt to implement this with my processes. Thank you
