After you have created a task, if you want to repeat the task, you can easily specify it in repeat properties. Automation Anywhere offers various repeat options like 'repeat for X number of times', or 'repeat for certain duration' or 'repeat until I stop it'.
In addition you can specify advance repeat options like time between repeats and what to do if error occurs. For detailed description of each repeat options see below.
Do not repeat |
This is the default option. Task will be played only once if you select this option. |
Repeat N times |
Automation Anywhere will repeat the task ‘n’ times, if you select this option. For example, if you created a task to send email, and if you would like to repeat this task 15 times, specify 15. |
Repeat until I Stop it |
Automation Anywhere will repeat the task until you stop it by using the ‘ESC’ key. The task will automatically stop if some error occurs. Use this option when you don't know how many times to repeat. |
Repeat for hh:mm:ss time |
Automation Anywhere will repeat this task for the duration of time that you enter. Automation Anywhere brings you enterprise level features and enables you to enter up to 99 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds, i.e. a repeat duration of more than 4 days. Tip: Ideal for that weekend maintenance tasks that you need to run. For example, when you leave office Friday evening, set it to repeat until Monday morning. |
Time between replays |
You can use this option with one of the repeat options. By selecting this property, Automation Anywhere will wait for the time specified in this box, between two replays of the tasks. |
Upon error, continue with next repeat |
By default Automation Anywhere stops if there is an error, i.e. the task replay fails. However if this option is checked Automation Anywhere will continue to the next repeat. Note: Use this feature for testing or for operations where you want to continue repeating the tasks despite failed replays. |
