Workstation definition

A workstation is a scheduling item that runs tasks.

A workstation is automatically created for agents and for cloud task launchers. You can manage a workstation by using a workstation definition.

Workstation definitions can be managed from the Orchestration CLI and from the UI. For information about how to manage workstations, see:

Note:

You can delete the default cloud or agent type workstations from your environment if they are not referenced in any item definitions.

To restore a deleted cloud type workstation, refresh or reload the UI. The workstation reappears in the palette under the Assets tab.

For agent type workstations, you must restart the specific agent container. Then refresh the UI page to view the deleted workstations back in the palette.
