Dedicated Windows Server machine with enough resources to execute several processes simultaneously (2 GB or more RAM per session)

If you want to run more than one Secure Session in parallel on a bot, make sure that a terminal server software is installed on the computer of the bot.
File System Permission Requirements
RPA Bot needs full write access to some folders that are critical to its functioning. To avoid issues during the setup process and subsequent RPA Bot executions, ensure that:
-
You install RPA Bot as an administrator
If you don’t run the setup file as an administrator, the installation process might not finish successfully. If this happens, ensure you reinstall RPA Bot by running the setup file as an administrator.
-
RPA Bot has full write access to the following folders and any subfolders and files inside them:
-
C:\Program Files\Mulesoft\RPABot -
C:\ProgramData\Mulesoft\RPABot
-
-
Your environment is not blocking the execution of any RPA process
The operating system can block the execution of certain files. Ensure that all executable (
.exe) files inside the RPA Bot home directory and its subfolders are allowed to run.
Internet Route Requirements
To communicate with RPA Manager, RPA Bot requires you to enter the following Internet route in the RPA Manager to connect field on the RPA Bot Configurator pop-up:

In addition, it is also necessary to open the internally used URL https://*.cloudfront.net, which is done typically by your network or security team.
