Configuring RPA Bot

ID generated during the installation process of RPA Bot, which identifies the bot in RPA Manager (even if the IP or MAC-Address changes). If you need a new ID, uninstall and then reinstall RPA Bot.

The URL address of the RPA Manager instance the bot connects to. There is no default setting.

The API key entered during the installation of the robot. You can change this setting.

Click TEST CONNECTION to verify that the bot can establish a connection to RPA Manager.

Time interval in milliseconds after which the bot connects to the RPA Manager to show that it is still alive.

Time interval in milliseconds after which the bot connects to RPA Manager and checks for provided packages to collect (such as scheduling tasks or activities).

Select this option to delete the activities that are no longer assigned to a configuration but are still stored locally in the bot.

Select this option to delete all runtime packages that are stored locally in the bot. The process activities retrieve the required runtime packages from the RPA Manager on the next run. After the runtime packages are deleted, the Bot Configurator deselects this setting.

Set the maximum number of Secure Sessions that the bot can use. Enabling this setting limits the number of Secure Sessions, but doesn’t overwrite the same setting in RPA Manager Bot Management.

The bot and RPA Manager communicate through the HTTP protocol at Port 80. If you connect to the internet through a proxy server, enter the proxy address in this field

Format: http://<Serveraddress>:<Port>, for example: http://myproxy.de:881.

To specify a default user account that the RPA Bot uses to log in to the session and run processes on the computer, enter the credentials here. If the environment of the computer the bot is installed on is embedded in a domain and you want to use a local user, write the user name as follows: .\username. For domain users, use the following form: mydomain\username.

Select this checkbox to transfer screenshots used for process streaming to RPA Manager. Deselect the checkbox if not everyone on the process team is allowed to view the processed data. For the Process Streaming to work, the usage of the Windows Taskbar must be enabled in the process-run configuration, too.

Enable this option if you are installing the bot on a terminal server that only allows SSL protected RDP connections.

Enable this option if the fPromptForPassword Group Policy is enabled.

The fPromptForPassword policy requests the password to be entered a second time when the RDP session is established. Some machines request the second password entry via a popup dialog. Other machines embed the prompt into the same screen, like the regular Windows login.

Enable this option if you are prompted with a custom logon message when connecting to your system via RDP.

Some systems show a custom logon message screen after logging into an RDP session, and this message has to be acknowledged by pressing a button.

Enables authentication via SmartCard within the Secure Session.

Select this option to use the CredSSP for authentication.

If the group policy Always prompt for password upon connection is enabled, the password must be entered twice when logging into the RDP session. This might prevent the Secure Session from running smoothly, especially on Windows 2010 and Windows Server 2016. If this is the case, activate this option so that the credentials can be entered correctly in the second query.

In this context, ensure that you have selected the option Allow connections only from computers running Remote Desktop with Network Level Authentication (recommended) in the Windows system properties.

With an established connection, the session connection timeout defines the time that a call can remain unanswered before the bot cancels the call.

Defines how often the bot tries to reach a started StSec via session connection.

The wait time specifies how long the bot waits between every individual attempt.

Specifies whether the bot takes screenshots while executing a process.

Specifies the number of screenshots to take.

Defines the interval at which the bot takes screenshots.

Sends analysis packages if the Activity Workflow terminates with OK.

Define a folder location for the analysis packages of failed workflow runs.

Define a folder location for the analysis packages of successful workflow runs.

Shows the current status of the Windows service.

Shows the last bot start time and running time. The time is shown in the time zone of the current RPA Bot user.

Shows the number of processes that executed successfully since the last bot start time.

Shows the number of workflows executed successfully since the last bot start time.

Shows the average number of secure sessions at the same time, the bot needs to run the processes since it was last started.

Shows the maximum number of secure sessions at the same time the bot needs to run the processes since it was last started.

Shows the time a secure session was last created. If a secure session has not been created since the last bot start time, then a value is not shown.

Shows the number of errors that occurred in the last hour when creating a secure session.

Shows the number of errors that occurred in the last 24 hours when creating a secure session.

Shows the number of errors that occurred in the last hour when establishing a connection to RPA Manager.

Shows the number of errors that occurred in the last 24 hours when establishing a connection to RPA Manager.

Shows the average download speed when RPA Bot is downloading the last runtime package. This is an indicator of the connection quality between RPA Bot and RPA Manager. If no runtime packages have been downloaded since the last bot start time, then a value is not shown.

When you refresh the Diagnostic Infos panel, RPA Bot runs a connection test to RPA Manager. This field shows the amount of time RPA Bot used to test the connection to RPA Manager. This is an indicator of the connection quality between RPA Bot and RPA Manager.

Shows the current size of the files in the Bot Temp folder (C:\ProgramData\Mulesoft\RPABot\temp) on disk.

Shows the number of warnings that have occurred in the bot since the last bot start, the last hour, and the last 24 hours.

Shows the number of errors that have occurred in the bot since the last bot start, the last hour, and the last 24 hours.

Shows the number of fatal errors that have occurred in the bot since the last bot start, the last hour, and the last 24 hours.
