How to Start RobotActivity2 on completion of RobotActivity1
In the context of the RobotActivity component in attended automation, I have two RobotActivities:
-
Register User
-
Send Letter
I want to start Send Letter (RobotActivity 2) only after the Register User (RobotActivity 1) has completed.
Since there is no Start method available for RobotActivity components, how can this be implemented effectively?

@AshokO07 A RobotActivity is triggered by your Pega Platform application (usually within a case). An Activity is what you'd use for an attended automation not triggered by your Pega Platform application. Activities are queued, so as long as you call Start or StartActivity for Activity 2 off of your ActivityCompleted event for Activity 1, then Activity 1 will wrap up and allow Activity 2 to start and complete. If you tried to perform a StartAndWait, then it would never allow Activity 1 to fully finish, so it would always time out. You just need to be aware that all threads of Activity 1 must complete before Activity 2 will start.
