Hi
Thanks for your reply.
Unfortunately, I have more queries. Appreciate your response
a) Is Robot manager only for used with Pega Platform?.
b) I have a inhouse built application and I automated navigations of that application using Pega Robotics 8.x. Can we use Robot manager along with this automation?
c) Then, what would be Pega® Platform Robotic Management Console?

a) Yes
b) Probably. RM will fire an event that your automation would need to listen for to trigger the work.
c) That is V1 of Robot Manager. It is now on V4. I do not believe that V1 or V2 are supported anymore in the latest versions of Pega Robotics Studio.

Hi Sasnt,
Thanks for your response.
How sure are we that Robot Manager will work with automations built on applications not part of Pega Platform?. Do we have any documentation around the same?

Can we directly install v4 without installing v1 or v2 as I have seen executables in v1 and v2 only. V3 and v4 are jar files which are imported in the Pega platform; they are no executables.

All versions of Robot Manager are Pega applications with no direct executables. As long as you have the correct version of the platform (7.3.1 for v4) you can directly install Robot Manager without installing previous versions.

Robot Manager is an application you install inside your Pega Platform (or a new instance of it). When used, it becomes a trigger mechanism and the sole provider of data and work for the robots. It has no effect on which automations you can and cannot use. The PDN has many articles and instructions surrounding Robot Manager.

As per the below link, the latest version of Robot manager is showing as V6 and supporting Pega 7.4.

Is there a robot manager release supporting Pega 8 versions available currently? If not when it's going to be available?
