[RPA_FAQ000036]I’m running RPA using Task Scheduler, but the "Failed to start the application by app link." error occurs.

Q

I’m running RPA in the middle of the night using Task Scheduler, but I get the error "Failed to start the application by app link." error occurs. What are the possible causes and countermeasures?

A

In the "Security Options" of "Task Scheduler Library" in the Task Scheduler,
make sure that "Run only when user is logged on" is checked.

When the device sleeps, the network adapter may turn off.
Please make sure that your device is not in sleep mode when you start the app.

Also, since the intended behavior is not guaranteed during a screensaver, as well as during a lock, support is not available for the sleep state.
Please consider using Sleep OFF.

Please refer to the notes on RPA as well.
