Hi Nishav,

Please verify that at the moment of executing the task there is no other agent running or active. If you launch the agent again, you will have at least two agents running at the same time and you will have the behavior you describe "activating and deactivating the next minute"

One of the things you could do is create another task that stops the agent when you think you don't need it, so you can guarantee that no other agent exists when you run the task.

If you are using Windows Scheduler you can create a powershell script with the following command: taskkill /IM javaw.exe /F (as far as I understand there is no stop command in the agent)

Hi Jesus, I am using Windows task scheduler to trigger the agent, also the steps are -1.creating a task 2. triggering the agent on a schedule with specific time 3. actions performed like giving the agent folder path.

Requirement -

Used the option "run whether the user is logged on or off" and scheduled at a particular date and time.

Hi Nishav001,

Could you please tell me which task scheduler are you using? Also Could you tell me how you are (steps) starting and stopping the agent on the resource ?

Thanks

Jesus

Thank you so much for the solution. I actually wanted RPA agent to automatically start through task scheduler when scheduled at a particular time in a server, but while working this way my RPA agent is not staying active for longer time as its getting triggered from task scheduler, it is randomly activating and deactivating due to which my RPA process is also being failed.

Hello, instead of using the task scheduler, try placing a shortcut to the Appian RPA agent in your startup folder.

Right click--> Copy the AppianRPA agent file

Do Windows Key+R, type shell:startup

Right click in the startup folder then do "Paste shortcut"
