Schedules Requests

Starting a Schedule With Dynamic Robot Allocation

The following request enables you to create a schedule named ApiTest, on the GMT Standard Time time zone, which is triggered every 5 months, on Sundays.

The StartStrategy parameter lets you choose how you want to run the job.
Possible values for StartStrategy

Value

Name

Description

Folder Context

-1

All robots

Runs the job once for each robot present in the environment of the process.

classic

0

Custom robots
Runs the job once on each of the specified robots. To specify the robots, include the robot Ids as values in ExecutorRobots. For example, "ExecutorRobots" : [ {"Id" : 44881}, {"Id" : 44882} ]

classic

1

1 robot

Runs the job on a dynamically selected robot of any user who has access to the folder where the process is.

You can also set the job to run on the robot you specify in MachineRobots. See the sample request body below for an example.

modern

any other number

Dynamic allocation

Creates the specified number of jobs and dynamically chooses the robots on which to run them from the available robots in the modern folder of the process, or from the robots in the environment for classic folders.

For modern folders, you can also specify one or more machine templates, robots, or both machine templates and robots using the list parameter MachineRobots. In this case, the StartStrategy value represents the number of times to execute the job on each specified robot or robot-machine combination.
This is not possible for classic folders and, if specified, the ExecutorRobots parameter is ignored.

Starting a Schedule With Input Parameters Values

The following POST request to the /odata/ProcessSchedules endpoint allows you to create an enabled schedule with the "API_schedule_test" name on the process with the 55 Id, while also adding custom values for some of the processes' parameters. The schedule starts every five minutes on all available Robots and does not take into account non-working days.
Note: A maximum of 10.000 characters is accepted for the entire length of the JSON representation of input parameters, including argument names, all the escaped characters, spaces, brackets, and arguments values.
