    Hi Praveen, you might be able to use a superpackage to deploy probes/configurations after the robot is installed.

    Check out THIS LINK for more information. This would be separate step to the robot install but I think it might be an option for you.

     

    Hope that helps!

    Thanks Philip ,Already using super package so need some alternative way to make it automatic whenever new robot is added to avoid human errors

    How are your robot deployments being done?

    you could use a request.cfg file during the install to automatically deploy a setup of probes when the robot first restarts.

    Need to make sure you do not do any updates that cause the robot to restart in the middle such as robot_update as this will cause the process to stop.

     

     

     

    the only other option would be the new MCS process.

     

    hope this helps

    Gene,

     

      Most the machines are vm's and robot will be present as part of cloning from master image.

    ok so on your master image create a request.cfg

    what ever process you are using to clean up the niscache folder and validate the probes add copying this request.cfg file into place and restarting the robot.
