I have question about set task scheduler
If I set process A start time 8.00
process B start time 8.30
But if sometime process A run until 8.35
So process B not run
How to set it for run 2 process (sequence) ?
Thank you
@Stef_99
Only 1 process (robot) is available at the same time so that it’s not doable via task scheduler instead of Orchestrator.
Alternative you may set more schedules for process B.
Why on earth on you using Task Scheduler to start robots?
@Jon_Smith I use attend bot.
Then why not start it manually when you need to?
I have more process for team.
This still isnt clear, if its attended you can just start it manually when you require it.
@Stef_99
As mentioned, when process B is triggered and previous process is still running, process B will not be executed and an error occurs. You may add extract step at the beginning of process B to avoid duplication, such as checking the input file is empty or put a parameter in a file to indicate the job is done already or not.
This is the previous experience when one of my client works on only attended robot.
UiPath has a reminders function in the assistant for triggering attended tasks like this.
It doesnt make any sense to me to use the Task Scheduler, why are you using an external tool like that?
Assuming the robot environment is the one you can’t keep an eye on it, how does this reminder work?
I believe PO would like the robot to be run with minimize human effort with attended license only. And other important thing is, PO doesn’t use Orchestrator.
@healsko_ho What is PO?
Post owner, that means you.
Lets be clear, what you are suggesting in terms of usage is against the TOS.
Attended robots CANNOT be ran as if they are unattended, its explicit in the terms.
If you want to minimize human effort and have these run in sequence then you pay for an unattended licence.
Regarding not using the Orchestrator. How exactly? That is baked in and in my opinion another red flag in suggesting the software is not being used legally. The only reasons I have seen, outside of extremely legacy licencing, to skip the Orchestrator and rely on task manager is to bypass the TOS.
