feature to create and save a connection between process and bot machine

[SameerJoshi]

feature to create and save a connection between process and bot machine will help to get rid of dragging processes on bot machine by scrolling through the long lists of bot machines, feature can be introduces as a schedule without any timing, but can be ran manually whenever required

this could be achieved by using an active queue

Hi Christian,

Could you please more elaborate ? Basically, I am in need of functionality where I can create a schedule without mentioning any time or its frequency. This will help to trigger a process on one click, instead of dragging and then starting a session.

​Hi Sameer,

in Blue Prism System tab under Workflow\Work Queues you can define a working queue as an active queue. There you have to assign a process and a resource group to process the items. Once this is done, the working queue shows up in control room under "Active Queues". So you can start und shut down resources by simply entering the number of resources you want up to the currently available resources defined in the reousrce Group.

Bee sure the process implements the IsStopRequested()-Function in order to allow the process to react on stop requests.

Hello @SameerJoshi,

Thanks for taking the time to raise an idea.

Historically, we have not created a direct coupling between a process and a resource because there are customers out there who constantly log their resources in and out for the purpose of running multiple processes without needing multiple resources in place. It does seem however that what you're after could be achieved by creating a schedule with a "Once" trigger set to a far feature date and then setting the schedule to "Run Now" whenever you need it.

As a result of this update, I'm going to mark this idea as Not Planned.

Regards,

Rob
