Building to two execacutables

[terrymartin]

I want to have two exes, Sample1.exe and Sample2.exe to run sequentially.

I will build this in an exec called "collection.exe" that looks like this:

Open "C:\.... \My Documents\Automation Anywhere\Automation Anywhere\My Exes\Sample1.exe "
Loop While Appication Running ("C:\....\My Documents\Automation Anywhere\Automation Anywhere\My Exes\Sample1.exe")
Delay: (100 ms)
End Loop
Open "C:\.....\My Documents\Automation Anywhere\Automation Anywhere\My Exes\Sample2.exe "
Loop While Appication Running ("C:\....\My Documents\Automation Anywhere\Automation Anywhere\My Exes\Sample2.exe")
Delay: (100 ms)
End Loop


My question is, I want this to run every hour. Do I set up the repeat every 60 seconds in "collection.exe"? or in sample1 and 2?

Hello Terry,

If you wish to repeat both the tasks, sequentially after every hour then you can set the repeat property for collection.atmn task at the task level (.atmn) not .exe and then create the exe. That way all the properties of the task are migrated to the executable.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the answer

That is what I wanted to know

I built the executable and it does not run the same as .atm file. The key stokes move verrry slow and it never goes to the second executiable.

Why?

It can happen only if Sample1.exe does not run successfully and aborts the task. Perhaps due to system running slow, the keystrokes are playing slowly which may result into task failure.
