How to remove pending sessions

[RobDixon]

It appears I have two orphaned sessions which are showing as Pending in Control. My license only permits two sessions. How can I get rid of these sessions? I've tried restarting, even rebooting, but neither have worked.

For your question - you can use pending starter vbo to handle this issue

Thanks Harish, that is very helpful. My problem is am just starting out on becomning a developer so I do not have any spare sessions in my licence if I have to create another session. Also I do not know how I can run the SQL query as do not know whereabouts the DB resides.

Hello @Rob Dixon 

You can remove the Pending Sessions by deleting them, within the Control Room > Environment panel, right-click on one of the Pending sessions and choose Delete.

As you are a learner and have a license for 2 sessions, I’m assuming you’re simply using the Blue Prism Learning Edition on your local computer.

Tip: We leverage Microsoft SQL Server Express LocalDB to host the database for Learning Edition, and we create a database called: BluePrismLocalDB

Kind regards
