Instances configured for autoscaling environments are taking longer to join the RPA instance pool after provisioning

After you configure the instances for autoscaling environments in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, you must create the RPA dynamic environment pool by associating the instance pool OCID created in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

Issue

You configured RPA dynamic environment pool by associating the instance pool OCID created in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, but the environments are taking longer than expected (over 1 minute) to join the RPA instance pool after provisioning.

What to Do

1. Open the Oracle Cloud Console navigation menu, click Compute, and then click Instances.
2. Select your instance and check the cloud-init-output.log file for any informational or error messages.
   • Linux: /var/log/cloud-init-output.log
   • Windows: C:\Program Files\Cloudbase Solutions\Cloudbase-Init\log\cloud-init-output.log
3. Verify whether the instance is downloading any dependent software apart from the RPA Agent JAR file.
   If yes, it indicates that the image used for creating the instance configuration is missing some dependencies.
4. Ensure all required dependencies and software are pre-installed in the image.
5. Create a new custom image with all necessary components as described in Step 4: Create a Custom Image With Prerequisites Using the RPA cloud-init Script.
