Starting a job for a TestAutomation process

[BP_ankush_Singh (Ankush Singh)]

I am trying to start a job for TestAutomation process but getting stuck at an issue which says that ‘Starting jobs for TestAutomation processes is not supported through the standard jobs APIs’.

What is the solution for this problem?

Hey there! It looks like you’re running into an issue with starting TestAutomation jobs in UiPath Orchestrator. No worries, this is a common hiccup. Here are a few tips to help you out:

1. Try UiPath Orchestrator Activities: Instead of the standard jobs APIs, give the UiPath.Orchestrator.Activities.StartJob activity a shot in your workflow. It’s designed for TestAutomation jobs.
2. Double-check Orchestrator Settings: Make sure your account, machine, and licenses are all set up correctly in Orchestrator. They need to be connected to the right folder.
3. Update Your Pipeline Configuration: If using an Azure DevOps pipeline, check those parameters like testTarget, orchestratorConnection, and folderName match your Orchestrator setup.
4. Look at Documentation and Forums: Sometimes, you might need specific configurations or updates. The official UiPath documentation is a great place to find more information.

Ideally we should use start test set api
