Remote execution of background workflow

OpenRPA
1

Good morning,

I have a workflow with the “Background workflow” property enabled. If I open OpenRPA and click play while another execution is in progress, it starts normally. However, if I try to start it remotely (via the “Invoke Remote OpenRPA” activity or through Node-RED), it doesn’t run (even after increasing the timeout to 60 seconds or more). I even tried adding background = true to the message in Node-RED, but it didn’t help.
Can anyone help me with this?

So what error are you getting?
Are there any errors in the API logs in Docker?
Have you ensured that Node-RED is running as a user who has read and execute permission on the user that the robot is running as?

It fails with a timeout error.

I’m not able to retrieve the logs right now, but the Node-RED user has the necessary permissions. If no other bot is running at the moment, the execution works.
