Is your application server running? That's what runs the scheduler, not the BP client.

Hi @delacoche silver,

Approach A: Using Blue Prism Command Line Options

The easiest approach that you can probably use would be the command line options of Blue Prism where we can perform various actions using CMD utility which you can find on this link: Blue Prism Command Line Options

You can use the below switch and command to trigger any process on your machine where runtime resource is running:

AutomateC.exe /run Process1 /user admin pwd

or if you have Single Sign On enabled then use the below command:

AutomateC.exe /run Process1 /sso

​
You can write a batch script with the .bat extension and simply use Windows Task Scheduler to run the script at any given frequency you want.

Approach B: Using Blue Prism Web Service Option:

Another approach can be to publish your process as a webservice and then you can write a VB script, PowerShell or a python script to invoke that particular API. You can again create a schedule using Windows Task Scheduler to trigger that script.

If you wish to go via second approach, have one of my YouTube video where I integrated a chatbot (Google Dialogflow) with Blue Prism using a python script in between to create a flak server which invokes the API whenever any user requested a response from the Chatbot. In your case, you only need to take in the parts of my video where I am exposing the Blue Prism process as a webservice and only the section of the code in python that shall invoke the API.

So, your code would be a lot simpler excluding the parts in my video where I am actually integrating the chatbot end and creating flask server in entirety. You can find the video here: Blue Prism Tutorials - Google Dialog Flow Chatbot Integration With Blue Prism

[delacochesilver]

[devneetmohanty07]

You wont require to launch the command line from Blue Prism for this. You would need to create a custom bat script on notepad and just keep it saved somewhere with .bat extension. Then on windows task scheduler just point the path of the script and it will automatically trigger that script to open the command line interface and execute the commands which you have mentioned within the bat file.

You can refer here to understand how you can create a custom batch script: How to create custom batch script

Basically, we are using an external agent which is the Windows Task Scheduler here which invokes a batch script to send a command to our Blue Prism runtime resource to execute the process from Control Room.

If a pending session in control room / session management, then you can not start the scheduler. Please use the filter in session management to see pending sessions.
