What is the Reboot Action?

The Reboot Action stops a running Botflow, closes Nintex RPA LE then reboots the workstation.

Creating a Reboot Action

Select Computer Actions to expand the Action list. Select theReboot Action from the Actions list to display the Action Builder.

Because Nintex RPA LE will be closed when a Reboot Action is executed, you will need to choose one of the following options to handle how the Botflow needs to be saved:

• Save changes - The user will not be prompted and changes will be saved automatically.

• Discard changes - The user will not be prompted and changes will be discarded automatically.

• Prompt to save changes - The user will be prompted to save  or discard the changes.

If the Botflow is running for a record in a database, you can ensure that the current record is marked before the Botflow is closed by checking the If running records, mark the record before closing option .  (This option is turned on by default).

It may be possible for other applications to be running at the time Nintex RPA LE attempts to reboot the workstation.  In this scenario, each application will be asked to close itself.  Sometimes other applications will not close when asked, or may prompt the user to save changes made in that program.  These such prompts may prevent the reboot from occurring.  The Force reboot option give Nintex RPA LE permission to close other applications forcefully.  This means information may be lost in those application but ensures the reboot will occur.

For convenience, the Only reboot if running option can be selected.  This will prevent the reboot from occurring while writing or testing the Botflow.  If this option is selected, the reboot will only occur when the Botflow is run by clicking the Run button on the Run Bar.  If this option is not selected, the reboot will occur anytime the Reboot Action is executed.  (This option is turned on by default).

Optionally add Notes to the Action to document any special instructions or functionality. When the Run Switchis set to Run, the action will be executed after clicking OK.

Note: The run switch is set to Run by default. To create or modify this action without executing it, click the slider to change the option to Don't Run.  For more information, go to Action Builder.

Click the OK button to save the Action.
