Deactivating RoboServer. The server has not been activated for more than 24 hours. <And> License constrain violated RoboServer has not been activated |
The RoboServer gets its license from the Management Console. If the RoboServer loses connection to the Management Console then it will still keep it license for 24 hrs more (so it can run robots). When the 24 hr mark is hit, the RoboServer will lose its license and this message will be logged. 10.3.0.8 |
Management Console > Logs tab or RoboServer Log Database > Server_Message table |
| RoboServer is being activate by multiple Management Consoles | The RoboServer is added in at least two Management Consoles (look at the "current activator" and "other activators" in the error details - these are the Management Consoles that contain this RoboServer). | Management Console > Logs tab > RoboServer |
| Clearing activation sent time stamp | This message can occur if a RoboServer was disconnected while an activation or re-activation was in progress and then later gets reconnected. | Management Console > Logs tab > RoboServer |
| ERROR kapow.robot.rqlserver.RoboServer - Unable to register to the <clusterName> cluster: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect. Retrying... |
Possible reasons:
|
RoboServer command line or Event viewer (when RoboServer runs as Windows service) |
| Unable to register to the <clusterName> cluster: Unexpected Error: No cluster found for name '<clustrName>'.. Retrying... | A cluster with the specified name doesn't exist. Please note that the cluster name is case sensitive. | same as above |
| Unable to register to the <clusterName> cluster: Repository responded with an error: HTTP/1.1 404 [Content-Type: text/html;charset=utf-8, Content-Language: en, Content-Length: 1105, Date: Thu, 09 Apr 2020 19:54:42 GMT] org.apache.http.conn.BasicManagedEntity@<id>. Retrying... |
Possible reasons: - the Management Console to which the RoboServer should register is incorrect. E.g. ManagementConsole is deployed into Tomcat and it's running, but the url has been mistyped. - Management Console has been corrupted because it was not allowed to start completely on first start. |
RoboServer command line or Event viewer (when RoboServer runs as Windows service) or RoboServer log files (under the user's application data folder) |
|
When user management is enabled -mcUrl must be specified. ERROR kapow.robot.rqlserver.RoboServer - RoboServer failed to start. null |
When using Management Console embedded mode (e.g. started by "RoboServer -MC") and User Management is enabled in RoboServer Settings, you must also set Register to a Management console (General tab of RoboServer Settings) To avoid error: enable "Register to a Management Console" in RoboServer Settings and enter MC path and credentials |

When user management is disabled -mcUrl may not be specified. ERROR kapow.robot.rqlserver.RoboServer - RoboServer failed to start. null |
When using Management Console embedded mode (e.g. started by "RoboServer -MC") and User Management is enabled in RoboServer Settings, you must NOT set Register to a Management console (General tab of RoboServer Settings).

mcUrl must be used to register the RoboServer when running RoboServer as standalone. ERROR kapow.robot.rqlserver.RoboServer - RoboServer failed to start. null |
This error is generated when starting a standalone RoboServer (i.e. without a -MC parameter) and not specifying a Management Console to which to register. To avoid error: set a Management Console either in RoboServer Settings or with the -mcUrl parameter in the RoboServer command. |
