Explanation of Web Control Room Components of Automation Anywhere Version 11.0 - Devices

Devices


As a Control Room user, some of the key activities are listed below.

-> Monitoring the list of Bot creators registered and connected to the current instance of the Control Room.

-> Creating and Monitoring a list of Bot Runners available from the current instance of the Control Room.

-> Running Bots immediately on selected Bot Runners, and

-> Scheduling Bots to run on selected Bot Runners.

Automation Anywhere Enterprises Eleven Web Control Room allows you to perform all these activities under one tab,

i.e; Devices tab


A device is categorized as a bot runner or a bot creator.

Note that devices are not created within the web control room.

It is created when a licensed user first logs into a control room from the Automation Anywhere Client.

A licensed user is one who is created in the Control Room and assigned a Bot Runner or Bot creator license.

Once a device is created, it remains configured in the environment until the user account is deleted.

Note:

Only an admin user,has access to see all the devices( Bot creators and Bot Runners) in the Control Room.

A non-admin user will not have access to view Bot creators.

When devices are not assigned to a role,they are available to the allocated to a device pool.

Device pools are a collection of Bot Runners provisioned to run bots with queues as part

of the Workload Management feature.

Remember that once a device is assigned to a device pool, it is unavailable to be assigned to roles,and

are not available to another device pool.

Note:

The system role Automation Anywhere Enterprise Pool admin must be assigned for a user to administer all devices pools

and by default the Automation Anywhere Enterprise Admin role will only see device pools where they are assigned as a device

pool owner.


Let us now look at the features of the Device page.

The device page displays all the devices registered and connected to the current instance of the control room

in the My Device tab, and displays a list of device pool available from the current instance of the Control Room

in the My device pools tab.

Additionally, you can use the device page to run and schedule bots on the selected bot runners.

The My device and my device pool tabs provides details about the devices.

This include status of the device, which is the combined status of the user and the device used by that user.

In the My device tab, the status of the device can either be:

✦ Connected - When the user is logged on to the control room.

✦ Disconnected - When the user is not logged on to the control room, or

✦ Offline - When the device user has been unregistered or disabled by the control room admin.

However,in the my device pools tab, the status of the device pool can either be:

Connected if the bot runners assigned to the device pool are logged into the control room, or

Disconnected if the assigned bot runners are not logged into the control room.

Apart from the status, the tabs also provide:

-> The machine's fully qualified server name.

-> Name of the user connected with the device.

-> Name of the device pool that the device is part of, if any, and

-> Type of license that is assigned by the control room admin to the device.

In the my device tab, you can perform actions such as:

-> Refreshing the table.

-> Running a bot with checked devices.

-> Scheduling bots to run on checked devices.

-> Exporting checked devices to a CSV file, and

-> Showing or Hiding columns in the devices list.
