Hello Oleg, can you please tell me, how to start a task and then wait until it ends in VBScript? I tried, but I don't know VBScript. It seems, that between starting a task and checking its status, I need to wait for a few seconds. But I'm not sure. My version for "Delay" makes the CPU busy...

The warning "Try to start the task again" means that specified task is already running now. No, the sub-task was definitely not running before: 07.PNG It was started by the main-task and the same main-task is trying to start it again immediately. You use "Required start" option....

Sub-task is ending: 04.PNG So far OK. But then, this happens: Main task continues: 05.PNG OK. But the sub-task is starting again without being asked to do so: 06.PNG That means, tasks are out of control and we are in a kind of trouble now. What do you think is going on? There's no reason like a loop...

Hello, my older task files on our file share are all encoded in "ANSI" (shown by notepad++). If I create new tasks now, they all get encoded in "UTF-8 without BOM". Using special german characters in task names and importing this data into out database, I'm now seeing wrong chara...

The problem wasn't caused by the driver but by "/*+ parallel */ clauses" used to improve performance while filling tables. With this clauses we got an issue with blockings causing long wait times. After dropping this clauses performance is better now.

You could try to use a file counting loop around the other loop, like this: ;***************************** ;* RoboTask Task file ;* Do not edit in text editor! ;***************************** [Root] ActionAfterRun=INTEGER|0 Actions=FOLDER Automat=INTEGER|0 CatID=INTEGER|740980707 Comment=STRINGLIST C...

Thank you, Oleg.

Hello Oleg,

thank you.

I see, this is not the functionality I'm looking for.

My scenario is:
Task A has to wait until Task B has created a file (Task A knows path and name of the file). Task A cannot wait until Task B has finished, so it has to wait for the file.

Any idea?
