Script Processing in RoboServer and Management Console

Issue

When RoboServer and Management Console are located on separate systems, what configurations must be made to support running scripts on each?

 

Solution

To run scripts on RS:

1. Set Allow File System and Command Line Access = true

2. Create a call command-line step in robot and call the application.

The Allow File System and Command Line Access setting only applies to RoboServer (RS) - it has no impact for Management Console (MC). 

 

To run pre-processing script on MC machine before a schedule starts:

1. Stop MC.

2. Open the /WEB-INF/Configuration.xml file. Note that for embedded mode installations, this file will be located in:

Windows: Users\{MCUSer}\AppData\Local\Kofax RPA or Kapow\{version}\Temp\Root\WEB-INF

Linux: ./{user}/.Kofax RPA/{version}/Temp/Root/WEB-INF/

3. Find the line <property name="allowScriptExecution" value="false"/> and change the value to true and save the file.

4. Start MC. You can now run a command on the MC machine before starting a schedule.
