Posted on by Waleed65 21

Hello ,

i've created 2 Basic Tasks that runs 2 Desktop flows through the Task Schedular with 1 min difference , what happen is the first one gets triggered fine and the flow monitoring shows normaly , but the 2nd one just never triggered .

 

is it Licence limitiations ? ( Current licence is Premium )

is it PAD limitiations ?

and if so , how to work around thiss issue ?

 

Regards

Waleed

    HI @Waleed65 ,

    If you are trying to trigger from cloud to desktop it will be come by queue mechanism, once 1 flow completed next it will trigger 2nd flow.

    Desktop flow if you are trying to run from console it will run one at a time.

    By using developer mode 2 can open 2 desktop flow and run but if it is ui automation it will fail. (Not recommended)

    Both cannot be triggered at the same time from the task scheduler. If you wish to trigger both tasks simultaneously, you must schedule the desktop flow on two different machines.

     

    Or you can schedule both flows at different time.
