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.
This hot fix removes the Framework .dll dependency except for .dll files that are related to credential providers.

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. |
