Well. First, are you using Robot Manager? and what version of Pega Robotics are you using?

If you are just using the Pega RPA Scheduler (and no Robot Manager), the RpaSchedule.json can only schedule once per day.

If you are using Robot Manager 6.x and Pega Robotics 8.0.2019+, then you can schedule multiple times a day in Robot Manager.

I'm using Pega Robotics Studio v Proprietary information hidden.0, and no I'm not using robot manager, now I figure out some way to run the task multiple times as spected using 'System.Timers.Timer' (screenshot attached) but in the final execution of the day the task always fail and the bot never log off, once I restart the machine the next day the automation work as spected but the runtime never close and the user never log off

I probably wouldn't use the System.Timers.Timer class. The System.Windows.Forms.Timer is available in the Toolbox already.

The user would only log off if the end of the schedule has happened (from the RPASchedule.json). And in conjunction, you should use the WaitForAutomations property in the RuntimeConfig.xml, to make sure that Runtime doesn't shut down in the middle of an automation.

<Shutdown>
<!-- Specifies if Runtime will wait for all automations to complete before terminating. Values: "Immediate", "WaitForAutomations" -->
<!--  Immediate - Stop proceeds without waiting for automations to complete -->
<!--  WaitForAutomations - Stop will not proceed until all automations have completed. -->
<Behavior value="WaitForAutomations"/>
</Shutdown>
 
It's hard to say why the last automation failed. Did you review the RuntimeLog to see what was happening?

The automation fail when happend outside the schedule defined in 'RPASchedule.json', I think is because the Timer still are sending signals and the runtime asume that the automation still working in something.

The runtime log is attached, I only keep the lines between 10 minutes at the end of the schedule (because the full file is about 170 MB)

Well. The shutdown notification is being sent from the scheduler. It might be the timer that is preventing Runtime from stopping. Since the automation is triggered every second... it might stop the automation thread from unwinding and shutting down.

  • 10:00:05.735 | External shutdown was set.  Notifying Runtime to shut down  
  • 10:00:05.735 | RuntimeLoader.Shutdown() Invoking onto MainForm thread. 

Perhaps add a condition to stop.. If you know that you're ending at 10pm every day... just use a DateTimeUtil and stop the timer at 10pm.

Ok I have news,

I change the 'WorkBucle' automation (the screenshot attached before) to this one

And 'CheckEndWorkTime' is like this

But still the session never log off, i getting this from the RuntimeLog.txt:

I see the lines that mention 'Adapter HotelBedsExportDB.exe...' and 'Adapter IEXPLORE.EXE...' make reference to the application I automating, and those applications are closed to this time.

It looks like you're shutting down runtime prior to the automations finishing. Try restructuring your automation to only call shutdown after all other tasks have completed. Also, it might not be worth shutting down Runtime until end of day and letting it just sit in an idle state when it's not being used.
