No candidate machine error in unattended BOT

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 9

Hi All,

I am getting "NoCandidateMachine" error while running scheduled flow. I checked it on Microsoft's documentation and the meaning of that error is "The run has exceeded the queue waiting time limit. Consider allocating more machines or spreading desktop flow runs to optimize wait time in the queue." But when i checked, there are no other flows running on my account or in queue. So what could be possible reason for this error?

    Hi @EktaKadam ,

     

    This may mean that someone is logged into the machine and that makes the machine "unavailable" ~ which I have experiences.  My recommendation is to reboot the machine, this ensures everyone is logged out, and then retest your flow.  Please mark as a solution if you are up and running again!  Always glad to help! Tom
