Run flow with PA Desktop offline

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 47

Hi there.

 

I have an existing flow whereby one of the steps in the flow calls a PA Desktop flow.

I'm wanting to set it up so that if the PA Desktop PC is not online at the time of the run, it will do the following

 

- Skip over the PA Desktop step in the flow an continue with the rest of the flow

- Run the PA Desktop flow when the desktop goes back online.

 

I know that there is an unattended option for PA Desktop flows, but I am trying to avoid this.

 

Thanks

    In cloud flow you just use the regular error handling to skip the desktop flow run action.

    On your desktop PC you'll need to run a script at startup to execute a HTTP post to trigger the cloud flow or schedule the cloud flow run.

     

    No using unattended: With attended flows, a user has to present at your desktop PC.
