Installing the Citrix required components on local machines

Install the Automation Anywhere components to enable you to use bots on Citrix Virtual Apps servers. Two components are installed: Bot Agent and Automation Anywhere plug-in for Citrix.

Procedure

Log in to your local machine.
Install Citrix Receiver.

Note: You can also use the Citrix Workspace app. All major releases of Automation 360 starting from v.22 (Build 10526) are certified with the Citrix Workspace.

This Citrix component is required to communicate from a local machine to a Citrix virtual application server.
To install the Citrix Receiver, see the Citrix documentation.
Register your local machine with the Control Room. This installs the Bot Agent.
The Bot Agent enables local machine communication with the Control Room.
To install the Bot Agent:
Install Automation Anywhere plug-in for Citrix on your local machine.
The Automation Anywhere plug-in for Citrix provides the Citrix driver. This driver communicates with the Citrix server.
To install the Automation Anywhere plug-in for Citrix:
1. Log in to the Control Room.
2. Launch one of the designated events.
  Designated events include: launch Recorder, use the Devices tab or Device Status tab, or run a bot from Editor.
3. Optional: Verify that the Automation Anywhere plug-in for Citrix is installed.
  Check for the file C:\Program Files (x86)\Citrix\ICA Client\Automation.CitrixDriver.dll.
