cmd command to get status of Resource PC

[KalpeshGujrati]

Hi,

I want to get the status details of the resource PC. So check the help tab of BP and found using "Busy" we get the status. But I am not able to understand how to use it.

Can someone please help me with the complete command.

C:\Program Files\Blue Prism Limited\Blue Prism Automate>automate.exe /resourcepc busy

Hi,

I tried the below steps and it worked for me, maybe it helps -

• Open CMD, Navigate to Blue prism's automate directory
• Start Resource PC listener using command - automate /public /resourcepc 

Note this will start Resource PC as public Resource PC Alternatively, you can also run it exclusive to specific user by using /user <username> <password>

• Connect to listener using telnet - telnet localhost 8181 (or to whichever port you have configured)
• Type the commands busy/availability as suggested in help reference, to get the status of the said resource PC.

Hope, it helps!

Hi @Deep Shah,

Thank you so much for your reply.

I tried the same steps as mentioned by you. But while connecting to the listener I am getting an error.

PFA.

Could you please share the cmd screenshot just to have a look at how you are executing the command.

Thanks

It appears, you may have to enable Telnet on your system.

Try following the steps here - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2008-R2-and-2008/cc771275%28v%3dws.10%29#to-install-telnet-client-on-windows-7-or-windows-vista

If you browse to the resource you get the status much more convenient.

http://<Resource_FQDN>:8180/status 

Either in a browser or in a commandline equvivalent, powershell should be available to you so one option would be:

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "http://<resource>:<port>" -TimeoutSec 5

The 'user not set' message typically does not occur when checking the status, but try setting the user name and password first.

Example:
http://<resource>:<port>/user name UserNameHere&password PasswordHere

It worked now.

Firstly we need to authenticate and then we can use the status commands.


Thanks for your help
