Execute Program Action Remotely

Is there a way to execute a program (Execute Program action) on a remote server then control that program (Wait For Window or Control action) remotely as well?

Hi Gerald,

You can’t control a program on a remote machine but you could should be able to start an Automise project on the remote computer (using PsExec) which will do the executing and controlling of the program.

Does this require that the runner is installed on the remote machine?

IE: Can the automise project be compiled to execute on a remote machine with the necessary runtime binaries?

What’s important and what drew me to automise is not having to deploy agents on remote machines.

Thanks.

Hi Gerald,

It would require a full copy of Automise to be installed on the remote machine and that the machine was always logged in when the project was started. You would not be able to use Automsie Runner as it does not allow you to start a project from the command line. Perhaps a better approach, if possible, would be to see if you can automate the program without using GUI automation (i.e. command line arguments).
