    Once you are done designing your process, you may release and deploy your project. Please make sure to run the project in attended mode as the automation Get Processors Details has a dialog that needs to be closed by the user and may put on hold the rest of the automation if the OK button is not clicked.

Since the automation requires a human intervention, with a popup dialog, the automation has to be executed in attended mode. This means that the user must be present for the automation to run.

You will trigger the automation using the project launcher.

The project launcher allows you to launch your automation in attended mode in two different ways:

• You can launch your automations manually in attended mode from the agent using the Launch manually from the agent section.
• You can configure events to trigger and launch your automations automatically using the Launch automatically by events section.

In this tutorial, you will manually launch your automation from the agent by adding it in the Launch manually from the agent section of the project launcher.

1. Navigate back to SAP Build lobby, choose the project.

2. In the SAP Build Process Automation overview page, you can see all the artifacts that are part of the project. The project is Editable which means you can modify it.

3. Select the Get Processors Details automation.

   

4. In the Automation Details panel, select Info and uncheck Can only be started from another automation.

5. Choose Save.

   

6. Now go back to the SAP Build Process Automation overview page, and select p which is the already created Project Launcher.

   

   The project launcher p editor opens in the main panel of the SAP Build Process Automation.

7. Select the three automations that are in the Launch manually from the agent section and choose the delete icon.

   

   On the Project Launcher details information right-hand side panel, you can see the automations available in your project.

   In order to execute the automation in attended mode you will need to add the automation to the project launcher

8. In the Project Launcher Details, drag the automation Get Processors Details and drop it in the Launch manually from the agent section of the project launcher.

9. Choose Save.

   

Now you may release and deploy it in attended mode. You need to select this trigger type since the user needs to click on OK.

1. Choose Release and again Release.

   

2. Now your project is released and you can deploy it. You can choose Deploy.

   

   Since this automation has to be executed in attended mode, you need to create a Trigger.

3. Select Create a Trigger and then Next.

   

4. Select Attended as a trigger type and Next.

   

5. Enter the configuration details and choose Next.

   

6. You may add an attribute, choose Confirm and then Deploy.

   

   To Deploy will take a couple of seconds/minutes depending upon how big your project is and how many different skills it has. Any errors during the deployment will be shown in the Design Console.

7. The project deployed successfully and is now ready to be executed.

   

   You cannot edit released or deployed projects. To continue working on your project, you need to select the Editable option from the list of released versions.
