Process with "Pending" status on schedule

[RaúlHernández]

I€™m having some problems with the scheduler in BP.   I configure a schedule in BP with 5 process to run one after other, at 7 pm for example. The first process (Login from Login Agent object) run and finished with €œCompleted€ status. After that, the second process to run stays with €œPending€ status and the schedule stays waiting for a manual action.   Can you help me to understand why the second process does not run automatically?   Note: if I click on the second process and select €œstart€ option the process run and the schedule continue working normally.

There needs to be a delay in your schedules between the Resource Machine going from a 'Login Agent' stage (blue key icon in the control room) and the 'Runtime Resource' state.  Unfortunately, the current schedule design in Blue Prism necessitates 2 schedules to achieve this:    1. Schedule to run the Log In process   2. Schedule a few minutes later to run the other Processes We typically set Schedule 2 to run 2-5 minutes after schedule 1   The other issue you could be running in to is that you're not providing any necessary Input parameters in your schedule's task

Ryan has answered this well. A pause between tasks option on the Schedule would be useful - although you could achieve the same with a simple Blue Prism process that sleeps for 5 minutes after the Login and incorporate that into the schedule if you didn't want 2 separate schedules.

Actually, we run this very well in our organisation.  You need to make sure for the second (and subsequent) scheduled processes in the schedule that the next process is selected to start.  I have enclosed an image for this.  We also make sure that the ""Fail fast on any errors: box is deselected, as this causes the schedule to fail.  After the last scheduled process is run, choose ""Abort"" from the dropdown box to complete the schedule.
