Run Process

You can click the "run" button on the right side of the Process or Group to run a Process or Group.

You can also hover over the "..." more actions icon on the right.

When the mouse hovers over the "..." icon of the Commander Process, you can see four operations: run, continuous run, run settings and Process input settings.

When you hover over the "..." icon of the Local Process, you can see five operations: run, continuous run, run settings, Process input settings, and delete.

When you hover over the "..." icon of the Group, you can see six operations: run, edit, continuous run, run settings, Process input settings, and delete.

If you select run, it is a single run.

If you select continuous operation, you need to specify the number of times or the time when the operation ends.

The details are as follows.

Single run

Selecting "run" has the same effect as directly clicking the "run" icon, that is, single run.

Continuous run

When "continuous operation" is selected, there are two options in the pop-up window: (1) specify the number of times; (2) Specify the time.

Continuous operation can also set whether to terminate after each operation failure.

Examples are as follows.

Clone run

Each Process and Group can separately set whether to start Clone operation in "operation settings". The Process of Clone running is started and runs in the Clone of the Current Windows desktop.

Precondition: you need to install the Clone Extension in the settings.

Clone has the following characteristics:

  • The operation of the separated operation window and the user's original desktop window are independent of each other. During Clone, the user can normally operate the application of the original desktop.

  • During Clone operation, you can see the real-time picture of Process operation through the Clone operation window.

  • During Clone operation, the user can choose whether to control or set the top. If you select control, you can operate on the Clone with the mouse.

When a Process or Group has started Clone, click "run" or "continuous running" to open a desktop window for Clone. Before running, you need to log in to the Current Windows user account. Users can also add a local Windows user account in the settings in advance, so that when Clone runs, you can automatically log in with the set local Windows user account. If there is no setting, the local account setting will pop up, As shown in the figure below.

After entering the password of the windows user account, you can run the specified Process in the windows desktop of the Clone.

matters needing attention:

  2. In the Clone window, when the "control" is in the blue style, it means that the desktop content can be operated and controlled by the mouse; Clicking "control" again will switch to the "not control" state, that is, it is impossible to click and operate the contents of the Clone window, so as to avoid misoperation.

  2. When closing the Clone, if the Process is still running, you will receive a prompt: "do you want to close the Clone window? The current Clone window has Process running, and closing it will cause the Process in Clone to fail". Please select "yes" or "no" as required. On the contrary, if the Process has finished running, it can be closed directly without receiving a prompt.

  3. When running in Clone, if you are prompted that the Laiye Automation Worker service connection fails, please restart the laiye automation service in the windows service manager and then restart the Laiye Automation Worker. Please call out the Task manager through "ctrl+alt+delete" and find "laiyeautomationsvc" in the Task manager service_ 6.0.0 ", right click and select restart.
