On-premise Robots Agent system requirements
Before installing an on-premise Robots Agent, make sure that the server on which the Robots Agent will be installed meets the hardware and software requirements outlined below.
Note
The information in this topic applies only to organizations that use an on-premise Robots Agent to run ACL scripts in ACL robots.
Individuals and organizations with ACL Robotics Professional Edition do not have an on-premise Robots Agent. Python/HCL scripts that run in HighBond robots or Workflow robots do not use the Robots Agent.
Hardware requirements
Note
The best Robots Agent performance in a production environment may require greater resources than the minimum specification.
| Component | Options | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| Processor |
|
Quad-core processor (or two Dual-core processors) at 3.5 GHz or higher. |
| Memory (RAM) |
8 GB |
16 GB of memory or higher, especially if sorting large files. |
| Hard disk space |
|
200 - 500 GB of disk space. High-speed disk access and throughput is recommended. |
| Ports |
TCP/IP connectivity. Outbound communication on HTTPS port 443. |
Port must be open for outbound communication with Diligent One. All communication is initiated by the on-premise Robots Agent and is encrypted in transit. |
Software requirements that must be confirmed or installed by the user
Note
The on-premise Robots Agent has been tested and verified to work with the listed versions of operating systems and third-party software. The Robots Agent may work with versions other than those listed, however there is no guarantee that it will.
Use of the Robots Agent with versions other than those listed is considered "an unsupported installation" and our Support team may not be able to find a resolution if issues arise.
Automatically installed software prerequisites
