RPA

Overview

Unattended installations are best suited for workflow process automation that can execute completely without user intervention. These executions are configured in Mastermind via the RPA Management UI and can execute on a device in a chosen windows user session either 'on-demand' or on a selected schedule.

This tutorial will show you how to install Infor RPA components in an unattended mode of execution.

📋 Requirements

  • The user needs access the cloud tenant via login.
  • Ensure RPA is enabled on the windows device.
  • Add any windows users on the device that are intended to be used for RPA to the ‘Remote Desktop Users’ group.
