Does your run log show you what the error is? What is the error message?

Hi Dave

its not showing an error message , Just when I go to live run in the drop down for environments is is greyed out as the environment I have set up is showing as disconnected so will not let me run.

Hi Mustafa,

The drop-down in Live Run in DAI is looking for an Environment that is in Design mode. More on that here: [Live Run | DAI Docs](https://docs.eggplantsoftware.com/dai/live-run/)

Is your Design agent running on the DAI server itself or another machine?

Thanks,  
Dave
