Will Lock Handles ever be supported in PAD?

Posted on by 150

My WinAutomation processes heavily depend on the Lock and Release Handle commands to avoid processes from stepping on each other, and to allow long-running processes to periodically pause and let other processes run.

 

A lot of rewriting will be required to use these processes without the lock handle commands. 

 

Does anyone know if Microsoft is eventually planning to implement lock handles in the future? Even with the new PAD console being web-based, I don't see why the lock handle command wouldn't work for flows that are running locally on a PC.

I have the same question (0)
