Issues on running unattended bots

KT
Level 4

Hi,

This was my first project in BP and i used a VDI machine for my UAT environment. When i logged into the machine and ran my process inside of it (attended). It was working fine on running the site and clicking the elements. But when i try to simulate unattended mode by running BP on my local machine to trigger my UAT process. i always get the error that the site is not loaded. But when i logged into the machine. i can see the site was left open. Seems like it was able to run it but was not able to click one element to proceed to the next one. The process to click the element had a dynamic wait and sleep actions already. Just wondering why i always had issues just in unattended mode. Any areas i need to check?

Another issue i have is its prompting that the BP addin sometimes is missing on the browser. Though i can see it loading ok when ran manually.

Hi Raheel good to here you're back on track. What I meant was to have a schedule like this:

  • Task 1 - log out (+30s pause)
  • Task 2 - log in (+30s pause)
  • Task 3 - run process

You should not need to 'log in then out then back in', but if people are potentially accessing the machine, starting your schedule with a log out will ensure that any other Windows sessions (created by humans using RDP) are cleared before the automation starts.
