Running the Robotic Automation Solution

The Robotic Automation Client consumes a solution file that is created by a power user using the Real-Time Designer. Solution files are retrieved from the Real-Time Server and loaded by the Robotic Automation Client. Once loaded, the Robotic Automation Client is then configured and ready to execute the Robotic Automation Solution business rules.

In order to initiate the Robotic Automation client you will need to use the RTI Launcher application, which is responsible for the activation of the Robotic Automation client process. RTI Launcher is an application that is designed to watch other applications to ensure that they are running.

To run the RTI Launcher that activates the robot, you will need do one of the following:

Restart Windows on the machine running the robot (this will automatically start up the RTI Launcher and, as a result, the robot), or

Run the RTI Launcher from the startup menu to run the robot.

For more information about the RTI Launcher, see the Configuring the RTI Launcher for the Real-Time Client section in the Client and Designer Installation Guide. For more information about the Real-Time Server Watchdog feature, see the Real-Time Server Watchdog section in the System Administration Guide.
