EPIC-62787

This hotfix includes the following changes:

• Ensures that the Pega RPA Service accurately reports the status of Robot Runtime and can log out of the computer as requested when a single Robot Runtime is enabled for a computer and Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is used to connect to the computer.
• Changes the CyberArk and BeyondTrust credential providers to support all the parameters that are passed by the GetCredentials overload method to call the AsoManager and credential store, with the exception of the Name and WorkGroup parameters.
• Adds the defaultProvider attribute, which you can use to define a custom credential provider to override DPAPI as the default credential provider.

This hotfix enhances credential provider support for Robot Runtime and the Robotic Process Automation (RPA) Service in several ways:

• Ensures that all credential providers process requests with WorkGroups and replaceable system values in the same way. 
• Provides additional logging and a new domain attribute for CyberArk in the CredentialManagerConfig.xml file.
• Updates the client credential provider to include all system parameters with each credential call.

This hotfix ensures that the Pega RPA Service uses the BaseURL key from the AppSettings section in the RPAService.config.xml file. The RPA Service uses the value that you specify for this key, if present, instead of the BaseURL key value in the RobotManager section of the CommonConfig.xml file.

Build 3.1.10.0 — March 07, 2020 — bundled with Pega Robotic Automation 19.1.32.0

US-317631

This hotfix adds support for running multiple Runtime sessions on a single Windows machine if the machine supports RDP connections.

To specify the maximum number of robots that you want to register with Robot Manager, use the new maximumRobots option in the RobotManager section of the CommonConfig.xml file.

This hotfix also updates the CredMgrUI.exe and CredMgr.exe programs to support multiple Runtime sessions. When you set the maximum number of robots to two or more, a new RobotIndex field appears  in the CredMgrUI.exe and CredMgr.exe programs when you specify the WindowsUser and RuntimeUser keys in the CredentialManagerConfig.xml file. Ensure that each robot has unique WindowsUser and RobotIndex entries.

This hotfix also adds the following options to the AppSettings section in the RpaService.config file:

To select the screen resolution to use for new RDP connections, use the RemoteDesktopSessionScreenResolution option.

• To specify the maximum number of concurrent Runtime robots that can start at the same time, use the RemoteDesktopSessionStartupConcurrency option. The Synchronization Engine Product Loader also uses this value.
• To set the wait time, in seconds, between the creation of each RDP session when starting multiple robots at the same time, use the RemoteDesktopSessionCreationWaitTimeSec option.
• To fill in ASO.db file passwords for multiple Runtime robots and prevent ASO dialogs from appearing when running projects for the first time, use the new Pega.RpaService.Tools.exe utility.

This hotfix adds the ConsecutiveInvalidLoginLimit option to the AppSettings section of the RpaService.config file. Use this option to limit the number of failures allowed before the RPA Service stops trying to register with Pega Robot Manager.

For example, if you enter 10, the RPA Service attempts to register with Pega Robot Manager up to10 times. If it fails to register 10 times, you must then restart the RPA Service.
