Hey Pratibha, Scheduler is a service which executes task on conditions defined by the user. It is a background process which waits for the next schedule activation time and then activates any schedules due to run at that time.The schedules can be configured to run once, or be repeated at minutely, hourly, daily, weekly, monthly or yearly intervals.

The scheduler allows Blue Prism to execute processes at specified times and repeat their execution at various intervals and schedule the robot process based on the input availability. 

Now, to change the Scheduler settings or to configure it, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to System Manager and select the ‘System’ option.

  2. To enable the scheduler, tick the “Activate the scheduler for this environment” box. Untick the box to disable the scheduler.

  3. To configure how far back the scheduler will check, enter the number of minutes into the “Execute missed schedules from the past in minutes” box.

  4. Now, configure the number of seconds to wait before retrying, enter the number of seconds into the ‘if a resource is offline, retry after n seconds’ box.

  5. Next, configure the number of times to retry the resource enter the number of times into the ‘Retry an offline resource a maximum of n times’ box. For an unreliable network, configure this value to a high number.

Hi,

I did according to the instructions and configured my scheduler But when I am running it My Resource is not starting the scheduler and state is displayed as Idle and Action is pending, When I checked in BP server it is giving me the the status of scheduler as "Forever Waiting".

Could anyone please help me with this issue, as I am new to blue prism it is little bit hard for me to understand.

Thank you in advanced

Hi , @There,

Here is an image (fresh) at the latest commit plus my HttpServer package. When it opens there is a TestRunnerShell open, you only have to click the run icon to reproduce the bug, it crashes mostly for the first time you run the tests.
