Unable to run or Delete Pending Session

[jgregor4]

I have a number of sessions that are stuck in the control room showing as pending. If you try to run or delete the session an error shows stating: Failed to delete session on IWCD-DESI - Reply was 'MISSING RUNNER' Does anyone know what the cause, and more importantly, the solution is? Once this error has shown Blue Prism then lets you add a new process to the resource and run the newly added one - it just seems these are ghost sessions that cannot be removed.

I think that is one for the product support team.  Raise a ticket.

Hi James,

Use Task Manger to end the Blue Prism application in the concern machine.
Now the pending items change to Terminated state releasing all license which have been locked.

Cause:

A MISSING RUNNER message can be produced if a resource receives a request to do something for a session (start it, get its status, etc), and it doesn't recognize the session ID given as one of the ones that it has registered (in a 'Runner Record' - hence 'Missing Runner').

METHOD 1:
Reboot the Runtime Resource that the process is assigned to run on. This has worked in cases where the processes are obviously not consuming resources on the Runtime Resource, but the Control Room still shows the process as 'Running'. 

METHOD 2:
If you have access to the database used by Blue Prism then run the following SQL query against that database in order to remove the pending session. You need to have administrator rights on the database, and you should also close down the Interactive Client and/or Runtime Resource that has the pending session before running this SQL.

1. Open the Event Log on the affected machine, and select the Blue Prism Event Log from the Application logs
2. Identify an error condition which reports the Session ID of the affected process
3. Make a note of the Session ID, and then open up a Command Prompt window (CMD.EXE)
4. In the window type:
   1. SQLCMD –S <SQL Server name\Instance>
   2. GO
   3. USE <Database name>
   4. GO
   5. DELETE * FROM BPASESSION WHERE SESSIONID = '<Session ID>'
   6. GO
