Back to Top Q: In the scenario where my Nolio Server is communicating to the Execution Server via a VPN connection, does the connection need to be open for the duration of the process run?(Security, Server, Agent, Execution Server)
- A: Once the process starts its execution, the VPN to the Nolio Server may be dropped. In this case, you will not be able to get an online status of the progress. If user inputs are required during the execution, the execution server will need to wait for the connection to be restored in order for the user input request to display.
For a better experience, you may set all required “User Inputs” prior to starting the execution, and then in the event that there are no errors during the execution, it will run to the end, updating the Nolio Server once the VPN connection is re-established.
