Sub Activity – Lock
The Lock activity has the following sub activities:
- Lock: Other instances of the process are prevented from continuing until the lock is released.
- Unlock: This activity is used to release the lock that was previously placed by the Lock activity.
| Activity Name | Common | Input | Output |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lock | Label – A classifying string applied to an activity which can be renamed by the user. It is the display name. Disable – The user can enable or disable the activity. ContinueOnError – It specifies the remaining activities to be executed even when one fails. This field supports only Boolean values (True or False). By default, the value is false so execution terminates when an error occurs. Private – If selected, the log will not be shown in BOT Manager. Timeout – Specify the maximum number of times the activity may attempt to obtain the lock. | Key – A unique mutex key. The Unlock activity uses this key to release the lock. | Attempts Interval – The amount of time required after a failed lock attempt before another lock attempt is allowed. |
