Every time when a new job starts, the active RDC (Remote Desktop Connection) session is disconnected automatically. Is there any way to keep the RDC session active while the bot is running to be able to monitor the process?
Hello @OSW_Shop,
Basically, you will get disconnected because the robot is signing in. So, if you’re looking to monitor your execution you can do one of the following:
- Remote once the job has already started (not recommended as you may mess with the running job)
- Using the UiPath streamming tool from the marketplace Robot Streaming - RPA Component | UiPath Marketplace
- Start the process from the UiPath assistant
- Newer versions of orchestrator will allow you to record the executions About Recording (uipath.com)
Hope this helps.
Hello @Edwin_Barahona,
Thank you for your suggestions.
The weird thing is actually that before our recent reinstallation of UiPath on our VM, it was possible to monitor the process, even before the job was started from Orchestrator. Could it perhaps be because a difference in configuration?
So, digging deeper into this. I noticed when installing UiPath in service mode you’ll get the session disconnected when a process kicks in but not with the regular installation mode.
Said that, service mode is more suitable for unattended automations as some foreground/UI automations will fail in the standard installation. Hope this helps.
