Hi all,
First discussion post here, been a long time lurker.
Just a bit of context: I have an overall Blue Prism process split into 2 modular parts:
- First part to allow 3rd party Web Service consumer to make SOAP call to Runtime Resource to inject a queue item into a work queue
- Second part to then have the same runtime resource at a regular interval kick off "underlying work" of actually performing actions on screen
I've consulted the Web Services guide already and have ran many tests, but so I am trying to do the following, but having issues:
- Runtime Resource initialised and is "Idle" with no active sessions
- 3rd party consumer calls Exposed Object X as SOAP web service
- Auto-Initialisation is used
- Queue Item successfully added
- Runtime Resource now has 1 active session, and stays active even though object action is complete
- 3rd party consumer calls Attempt to call "Clean-Up" default action page within same Object X
- A very barebone almost empty response is returned
- Runtime Resource is still busy with 1 active session, and I am unable to execute Part 2 of my process
As far as I have understood (happy to be corrected), auto-initialisation allows me to stay at 1 license being consumed, and if any further calls while the first session is still running, the queued calls will still be processed accordingly and the session gets updated with incremental logging.
Documentation mentions that in manual initialisation mode we need to manually call "Clean-Up" to drive the session to be closed, and that if
bpinstance value is set to auto-initialisation, no additional steps would need to be taken.
Wanted to hear
if anyone has managed to utilise exposed Object WS to cause the runtime resource to free up the session (and hence the license) and also use in conjunction with the memory queuing capability of the Exposed Web Services.
Thanks in advance.
