Installing Control Room using custom mode for Oracle installation

Install the Automation Anywhere Control Room using Oracle Database for On-Premises and complete the installation in the Control Room.

Ensure the following:

Oracle Database is preconfigured in your environment before you complete the Control Room installation.
Oracle 19c On-Premises or over AWS RDS Oracle is supported. Ensure that the following settings are enabled with version 19c:
- The value of the Oracle instance max_string_size parameter is set to EXTENDED.
- If you want to use the SSL/TLS connection for the database, it is required that you configure TLS on the Oracle Server.
- Oracle credentials are created. Database credentials must be created and the following grants must be provided: CONNECT, RESOURCE, CREATE TABLE, CREATE VIEW.
  Note: The QUOTA on tablespace USERS is UNLIMITED.
Note: External vault integration is not supported on Oracle-based Windows Control Room installation.

Procedure

Prepare for installation
- Verify Automation 360 On-Premises prerequisites.
- Ensure that you have the following:
  - Automation Anywhere Control Room installation file
  - TLS certificate
  - License file
Run Control Room installer.
Run the installer to verify the operating system and hardware requirements, select the deployment option, accept the licensing agreement, and select the installation file path.
Note: Ensure that you select Oracle for Database type.
Configure application Transport Layer Security.
Use the Transport Layer Security (TLS) configuration page to generate a self-signed certificate or import a security certificate to set up a highly secure Control Room instance.
Configure service credentials.
Use the Service Credentials page to specify the account that will be used to run all Windows services that are created by the installer.
Configure Oracle database type and server
Use the Database type page to configure the Oracle Database for use with the Control Room.
Add Elasticsearch credentials.
Add Elasticsearch credentials for enhanced monitoring and alerting in the Control Room.
Configure IP cluster.
Use the Cluster Configuration page to configure resiliency requirements. Provide only one IP address to configure the Control Room on a single node. Provide multiple (three or more) IP addresses to configure the Control Room for high availability cluster.
Review the installation summary.
Use the Ready to Install the Program page to complete the installation wizard and monitor the installation progress.
Complete Control Room configuration and validation.

Complete Control Room post-installation configuration

After installing the Control Room, complete the configuration settings to ensure that timely Automation Anywhere communications are specified and confirm that Automation Anywhere services are running.

Post-installation user management

After completing the post-installation tasks, validate the setup by logging in to the Control Room and installing a license. First-time access to the Control Room walks you through the configuration for your authentication method.
Prepare for users.
As an administrator, you can create, view, edit, delete, and enable or disable a user. The steps for creating users can vary depending on whether the user is a non-Active Directory, Active Directory, or single sign-on (SSO) user from an IdP server.
