@MichaelC16831869 When you manually stop a customized real-time data flow in Pega, it does not restart automatically because manual intervention is considered intentional. However, Pega's OOTB data flows may have specific configurations or system jobs (like auto-restart on failure) that allow them to restart. To make your customized real-time data flow restart automatically, you can configure it using a job scheduler or agent that checks the data flow status periodically and restarts it if it’s not running. Alternatively, you can use auto-restart options in the data flow configuration (available in some Pega versions) by setting pyAutoRestartEnabled to true via a data flow run options activity or use the DNode API in a custom activity to programmatically restart it.
