Automatically update the Bot Agent

Using the auto-update capability to update the Bot Agent to a later version reduces the downtime because each user is not required to log into the Control Room to update the Bot Agent version.

先决条件

Ensure that you are logged in to the Control Room as the administrator.

The Bot Agent will auto-update based on the following:

All user devices are connected to the Control Room.
The Automation 360 deployment you use.
注： Automatic update of the Bot Agent is available only for version 21.0 or later. The auto-update setting is enabled by default for the Automation 360 Cloud and Community Edition. For On-Premises deployments, the manual update setting is enabled by default.

To manually update Bot Agent, see Manually update the Bot Agent.

过程

Navigate to Administration > Settings > Devices.
Select Bot-agent software settings.
Click the Edit icon. ()

For automatic updates of the Bot Agent, you can choose either all updates (required and optional) or only the required updates.
