What happens if an attempt is made to launch an application again after the business object has already done so?

When an application is launched through a business object in Blue Prism, it establishes a connection with that application session. If you attempt to launch the same application again while it is already running, the system will encounter a conflict as it does not allow multiple instances of the same application session to be controlled by the same business object. This situation generates an exception, informing the process that the application is already active, therefore, preventing the action from being completed successfully.

This behavior is part of Blue Prism's design to ensure stability and efficient resource management, as allowing multiple instances to be launched could lead to unforeseen issues, such as data corruption or excessive resource usage. Thus, when the same application is tried to launch again, the business object is programmed to recognize that the application is already running and respond accordingly by issuing an exception.
