Delay action in Delay
Use the Delay action in the Delay package to add a timed delay.
Settings
- Select the Delay type as Regular or Random.
- Select the Regular option to delay the operation for a fixed period of time.
- If you select Random, specify the time range in the
From and To fields for the system to
select a random delay within the specified range.
You can add Random delay with different waiting time for each bot run at a given command level without having to change the bot.
Example: Use Random delay when running bots simultaneously on several machines through a workload management queue before executing a database or recorder, or the FTP action. This would reduce the number of concurrent requests made to a database or the FTP server and the performance of the systems will not be adversely impacted.
- Select the Time unit in Milliseconds or Seconds.
