Operate Bots Manually

This documentation aims to provide guidance on how to operate bots manually in the admin page of Orchestrator.

Note: to run Bots manually you will need to assign the Attended or Unattended license to the Agent. See more:

Managing Licenses

Launching and Stopping Bots

Once the projects are uploaded, customers can launch bots by choosing the needed configuration. Bots can also be stopped from the admin page. In addition, customers can monitor the status of the bots and view the last run result.

Navigate to “Admin Commands” tab, here you will see the list of bot projects you’ve uploaded to the Orchestrator.

• Find the project you need to manage (look at the “Project” column)
• Select one that is located on a machine where you want to launch your bot (look at the “Host” column)
• Check the “Status” column to monitor bot’s health:
  • Color:
    • “Green” - means the Python RPA Agent is active and connected to Orchestrator
    • “Red” - something went wrong and there is no connection between Agent and Orchestrator (see more about Agent setup here Python RPA Agent)
  • Text:
    • Idle - the agent is waiting for a command, and no process is running
    • Pending - some command is executing right now
    • Running - the bot is executing right now
• Select the configuration you want to run in the “Config” column
• Press the “Green” start button to launch the bot
• Press the “Red” button to stop the bot
• Click “View” in the “See logs” column to see the logs
• Click the “Pencil” icon in the Actions column to edit the record, for example, if you want to change the host bot is running or the bot version

See the examples below:
