Scheduler runs an automation script (get “interaction is required to execute this script” error)

Hi

I setup a scheduler to run an automation script on hourly basis.

However, i got "interaction is required to execute this script" error when the scheduler tries to run the auto script.

I double checked the automation script and it seems doesn't have any showUI() function call.

The C# code in the auto script for debugging is engine.Log().

Thanks in advance.

Hi Miao,

In your staging environment, can you insert the following at the begining of the C# code:

engine.FindInteractiveClient("This is test only", 15);

When the script is executed, active clients will get a pop-up window with the option to attach to the script (you must have an active and open DM client window for the pop-up to appear). Click on the 'Attach' button. This will set the engine.IsInteractive = true, and you as the interactive user. This way you should be able to see what interaction is required by the script at run-time.

Note: This pop-up will only be displayed for 15 seconds and if no selection is made the script will assume 'Ignore' and continue to run.
