Windows application running in background

Hello,

I have Orchestrator 2019 installed in one server and designed a runbook that runs a program (batch file) in another server.
This batch file, among other things, starts a windows application.
Through task manager, I can see that the started application is running (apparently on background), but i need it to run on foreground, so that my batch next steps could interact with it.
Any ideas?

Thank you,

Rodrigo

    Hi @Rodrigo Kanda ,

    as far as I know all Orchestrator activities are running "on background" without any option of interaction.
    The reason for this is related to run the activities automatically without any requirement of user or other interactions.

    Depending on your requirements there might be a different way to get your "task" done. But without details what you like to achieve it's hard to say.
