Hello,
Automation Anywhere 5.0 allows you to specify Task Priority. Using this property, you can specify the priority of the task, which will decide the precedence of the task when it is in a queue. Automation Anywhere supports queuing of tasks based on the priority and the category through which no task will be left without completion and higher priority tasks will get the precedence that they deserve. Each task can be assigned one of the following priority, High, Medium and Low.
The category depends on how the task is launched i.e. Triggered / Scheduled / Manual. A triggered task has higher precedence than a scheduled task. A task launched manually has lowest precedence.
For example, if a task which is already in progress has the priority 'High' and a triggered task with a 'Low' priority comes in, the triggered task will have to wait in the queue for the task to finish. Then, the triggered task will be executed. But, if a task with 'Low' priority has been launched manually and a triggered task with 'Low' priority comes in, then the triggered task will get the precedence. In this case, both the tasks have the same priority, so the precedence will be defined by the category and the triggered task will have the higher precedence.
Hope that helps.  |
