cmd command to get status of Resource PC

KalpeshGujrati — Wed, 27 Nov 2019 07:43:00 GMT

Hi,

I want to get the status details of the resource PC. So check the help tab of BP and found using "Busy" we get the status. But I am not able to understand how to use it.

Can someone please help me with the complete command.

C:\Program Files\Blue Prism Limited\Blue Prism Automate>automate.exe /resourcepc busy

Hi,

I tried the below steps and it worked for me, maybe it helps -

Open CMD, Navigate to Blue prism's automate directory
Start Resource PC listener using command - automate /public /resourcepc

Note this will start Resource PC as public Resource PC Alternatively, you can also run it exclusive to specific user by using /user <username> <password>

Connect to listener using telnet - telnet localhost 8181 (or to whichever port you have configured)
Type the commands busy/availability as suggested in help reference, to get the status of the said resource PC.

Hope, it helps!

Hi @Deep Shah,

Thank you so much for your reply.

I tried the same steps as mentioned by you. But while connecting to the listener I am getting an error.

PFA.

Could you please share the cmd screenshot just to have a look at how you are executing the command.

Thanks

It appears, you may have to enable Telnet on your system.

Try following the steps here - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2008-R2-and-2008/cc771275%28v%3dws.10%29#to-install-telnet-client-on-windows-7-or-windows-vista

If you browse to the resource you get the status much more convenient.

http://<Resource_FQDN>:8180/status

Either in a browser or in a commandline equvivalent, powershell should be available to you so one option would be:

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "http://<resource>:<port>" -TimeoutSec 5

The 'user not set' message typically does not occur when checking the status, but try setting the user name and password first.

Example:
http://<resource>:<port>/user name UserNameHere&password PasswordHere

It worked now.

Firstly we need to authenticate and then we can use the status commands.

Thanks for your help

Hi,

We can also try to access either of the below URL through browser to know the status:

1. http://resource:8181/user%20name%20BPUSERNAME&password%20BPPASSWORD&status
2. http://resource:8181/user%20name%20BPUSERNAME&password%20BPPASSWORD&busy
3. http://resource:8181/user%20name%20BPUSERNAME&password%20BPPASSWORD&availability

Through PowerShell Please use below:

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "http://resource:8181/user%20name%20BPUSERNAME&password%20BPPASSWORD&status"

Note: BPUSERAME and BPPASSWORD are the credentials with which you login to BluePrism.
