Set API certificate:This article will show you how to set an auto-signed certificate or your own signed certificate to your OpCon Rest. You'll find three scenarios :1. Generate a new self-signed certificate if no certificate found.2. Generate a new self-signed certificate if the existing certificate is expired.3. Set your own signed certificate. 1. No certificate found:In some cases the OpCon API is not reachable because the certificate is not find by the API, in this case you may only have to apply this procedure to allow the API to use it own auto-generated self-signed certificate : 1. Stop the RestAPI service: SMA OpCon RestAPI 2. Open a command prompt as Administrator 3. Navigate to the SAM folder (for installation on the system drive C:\Program Files\OpConxps\SAM) 4. Run the following command SMAOpConRestApi.Controllers.exe -setcertificate (for older version replaceSMAOpConRestApi.Controllers.exe by SMAOpConRestApi.OwinService) 5. Verify the process completed successfully, the log

Thresholds in OpCon look similar to Resources on the surface, but they serve a fundamentally different purpose. While resources control how many jobs run concurrently, thresholds are condition flags. They let you build OpCon automations that respond to dynamic states: "Run this job when that number reaches a certain value." Once you understand thresholds, you'll find uses for them in several places.What Is a Threshold?A threshold is a named object with a numeric value. Unlike resources, thresholds are not automatically managed by OpCon. Their value stays exactly where you set it until something explicitly updates it. That update typically comes from an OpCon event, an API call, or an external system interaction.Thresholds are found in the same place as resources: Administration > Library. Create one with a name and starting value (often 0).Threshold Dependencies: Flexible Condition LogicWhen you add a threshold dependency to a job, you're telling OpCon: "Only run this job when the t

If you've ever had multiple jobs collide on a shared file or watched your server slow to a crawl because too many processes launched at once, OpCon Resources might be exactly what you've been looking for. At their core, resources are simple but the control they give you over your job processing environment is anything but simple.What Is a Resource?A resource in OpCon is a named object assigned a maximum numeric value. That number represents the total pool of 'resource units' available for jobs to consume. When a job is configured with a resource dependency, it must claim a specified number of units from that pool before it can run. Once the job finishes, OpCon automatically releases those units back to the pool with no manual cleanup required.You'll find resources under Administration > Library in the OpCon interface.Creating one is straightforward: give it a name, an optional description, and set the maximum value.How Do Resource Dependencies Work?When you add a resource dependency
