At times, there are tasks stuck in Console under 'Running' status which cannot be removed or cancelled. You will need to remove these tasks using by running a SQL query in SSMS (SQL Server Management Studio)

 

Instructions 

- Access the DB for Nintex/Kryon RPA using SSMS
- Identify all tasks in the tasks.tasks_task_data table in Kryon database that has not been completed using the following query

SELECT * FROM tasks.tasks_task_data WHERE end_execution_time IS NULL

- Identify the id of the task to clear from the Currently Running status and update the is deleted to value 1 using the following query

UPDATE tasks.tasks_task_data SET is_deleted = 1 WHERE id = '<id>'

After that, clear the Redis cache using the following:

- Run P3X Redis UI from Kryon\Services\Kryon.cache\client
- Launch the tool after completing the download. You should be greeted with the following screen
 



- Click on Settings and then New Connection to add a new connection
 

 

For RPA 22.x >> Provide a unique name and update the hostname of the server to 127.0.0.1, and port 6379. Password will be Kryon2022! However, if not working, please try with Kryon2021! And Kryon123!

For RPA 24.x >> Please check Environment variable for password. Variable name is Cache_Auth

 

- Click Test Connection. You should see that Redis is connected successfully. Click Add to create the new connection
- With the new connection created, click on the Connect button on the bottom left and select the connection that has just been created
- Mouse over on the Kryon folder in the left pane and a red 'x' should appear. Click on the red 'x' to delete it
- After that, restart all RPA services, and the task should be removed.
