Where You Typically Download the Robot Agent

You typically download the robot agent on the following computers:

  • The work computers of the people who build robots.

    If robot builders install the robot agent on their computers, they can test their robots as they build them.

  • The environments that the robots run on for formal testing.

  • The environments that the robots run on in production.

Multiple Robot Agents on an Environment

If you plan to run multiple robot agents on a single VM or computer, download the robot agent only one time to the VM or computer. When you install and start the robot agent, you'll specify the number of robot agents to run. All the robote agents on a single environment run from the downloaded file.

Download the Robot Agent

  1. On the computer where you need to install the robot agent, sign in to the Oracle Integration instance that the robot agent needs to connect to.
  2. Download the ZIP file for the robot agent.

    The ZIP file contains a single folder with all the files that you need. One of the files is a readme that contains a link to this page.

    • Download the robot agent outside a project.

      Anyone with access to Oracle Integration can use this option.

      1. In the navigation pane, click Design, then Agents.

      2. Select Download, then Robot Agent.

    • Download the robot agent inside a project.

      To use this option, you must have access to a project with an environment pool that has at least one environment associated with it.

      1. In the navigation pane, select Projects.

      2. Select the project name.

      3. In the left toolbar, select Robot Robot.

      4. In the Environment Pools box, point to an environment pool, select Actions icon, and select Add environment.

      5. At the bottom of the Add environment panel, select Download robot agent.

    The ZIP file is downloaded to the computer, often to the Downloads folder. The download typically takes a minute or less, though sometimes it takes a few moments for the download to begin.

  3. Extract the ZIP file to the directory of your choice on the computer.

    WARNING:

    Do not include any spaces in the folder name, or you won't be able to install the robot agent. Additionally, Oracle recommends not including any spaces in the directory path.

    The files need to remain on the computer for as long as the robot agent runs on the computer, so choose a location carefully. For example, don't leave the files in your Downloads folder, in case you or someone else inadvertently deletes the files in the future.
