Installing the Pega RPA Service

Updated on February 1, 2023

Use the Pega RPA Service to schedule Robotic Processing Automation (RPA) sessions. These sessions determine when RPA robots can run. With the Pega RPA Service, you can specify schedules for your RPA robots to better manage production systems whose applications are not available all day and every day.

This service is available for Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012 R2, and Windows Server 2016. Support for Windows 8.1, Windows 10, Windows Server 2008 R2, and Windows Server 2016 requires build 8.0 SP1 2007 or later.

In version 19.1 and later, the Pega RPA Service is a separate installation when you install Pega Robot Runtime, Pega Robot Studio, or the Pega Robot Studio plug-in from the command line.

Note: In version 8.0 SP1, the Pega RPA Service was included when you install Pega Robot Runtime. The service was placed in the Robotic Automation Runtime installation folder.

This service runs as a LocalSystem account, which means it runs standard least-privileged services and only accesses the network as an anonymous user.

After you have installed the Pega RPA Service, you must enable it. For more information, see Enabling the Pega RPA Service to simulate a Secure Attention Sequence.
