RPA Conductor asks our API for work using the GetNextTask request. Based on priority, group membership, and a few other things, the API then returns the next task.
Based on where we are in the sequence, RPA Conductor will initiate a login to the required Windows session. Of course, if we are already in the session, it will skip that part.
With the next step, it will launch the workflow robot, which is the actual run time of the process (RPA Designer uses the same whenever you click Run). You may recognize this as the command line tool that pops up whenever you run a task.
While the workflow robot is running, RPA Conductor does some monitoring to see if the task can be completed within the maximum runtime. If the runtime were to be exceeded, RPA Conductor would terminate task execution and fail the task. You can set the maximum runtime in the process options. It will ask for new tasks as soon as the work is completed.
