Install Agente de bot and register device

Install Agente de bot on your local device and connect it to Control Room. In order to run bots on that local device, ensure that you add it to the list of enabled host devices.

Starting with Automatización 360 v.29, we have enhanced the Agente de bot installer by-, including new .exe files for the Bot launcher, Node manager, Triggers, and Child session launchers. The following changes occur in the installer when you:

Install the Agente de bot, java.exe will be replaced by NodeManager.exe.
Run a bot, javaw.exe will be replaced by BotLauncher.exe.
Configure a trigger, the trigger will be activated with TriggerListener.exe instead of javaw.exe.
Run a bot with AARI Integrations (AARI), javaw.exe will be replaced with ChildSessionLauncher.exe.

Nota: When you install or update the Agente de bot, you must include the new .exe files in a whitelist.

Antes de empezar

To install the Agente de bot, the Windows installer policy must be enabled for your local device.
The read, write, and execute permissions must be enabled for the Agente de bot folders on your local device.
Ensure that the local device system date and time are in sync with the current date and time so that the device registration is successful.

Requisitos de credenciales

The Agente de bot version available for download is the latest and compatible with the Control Room version that is used.

Nota:

You can now install the Agente de bot on a device with an existing Enterprise 11 client. However, ensure that the Automatización 360 and Agente de bot versions that you are using are v.25 or later.
- A Bot Creator can log in and access both Automatización 360 and Enterprise 11 client to create bots.
- Attended Instancias de Bot Runner can run bots from both Automatización 360 and Enterprise 11 Control Room instances.

You cannot run bots from Enterprise 11 and Automatización 360 at the same time.
You cannot install a Agente de bot on a device with an existing Enterprise 10 client.
When the Agente de bot is installed on a device where Enterprise 11 client is also installed and then you uninstall the client, you might face login issues with the device. Therefore, you must uninstall and re-install the Agente de bot on the device.

Click Connect to my computer.
The Agente de bot setup file is downloaded.

Authenticated proxy access: If your device's access to the internet is controlled through an authenticating proxy server, you are prompted to provide the proxy server authentication details. These credentials are required for the device to communicate with the Control Room.
To enable the authenticated proxy, register the device through a Google Chrome browser with the Automatización 360 Chrome extension enabled.

  All users of the device can use this Agente de bot. However, users installing the Agente de bot must have administrator privileges.

  The Agente de bot will be available only to the individual user.

  Nota: For a multiple user device, enter the number of concurrent sessions that will be allowed. A minimum of two concurrent sessions is supported.

You can identify the devices by their IP address and hostname.

Troubleshooting:

If you face any issues registering your device, see Automation 360: Error al registrar el dispositivo: se ha producido un problema inesperado (inicio de sesión en A-people obligatorio).
If the Agente de bot service is paused and does not start after installation, see Error de Automation 360: El dispositivo está desconectado o necesita una actualización (inicio de sesión en A-people obligatorio).
If you are using Google Chrome browser version 94 or later and if you face issues registering your device in a Control Room Local, we recommend that you configure the Control Room for HTTPS instead of HTTP. Alternatively, use Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox to register your device.
If you face any issues adding a new device, see No se puede añadir un nuevo dispositivo (inicio de sesión en A-people obligatorio).
If you manually remove the Google Chrome extension, existing Google Chrome policy does not allow you to add the extension (online or offline) even after you reinstall the Agente de bot. We recommend that you do not remove the extension. However, if you manually remove the extension, perform any one of the following:
- Go to Google Chrome extension store to add the extension online.
  Extensión Automation 360 para Chrome
- Drag the ChromeExtension.crx file (C:\Program Files\Automation Anywhere\Bot Agent\AABrowserAgent) to the Google Chrome extension tab (three vertical dots menu on top-right > Settings > Extensions).
