Changes in behavior
This fix pack includes the following cumulative changes in behavior from all fix packs for 11.3.0.
Fix Pack 4
Starting from Kofax RPA 11.3.0.4, Process Discovery cannot be used on Red Hat Linux.
To deploy Process Discovery Analyzer in Docker, modify the
docker-composefile to use Ubuntu 20.04 instead of 18.04.In Kapplets schedules, the Stop option was removed.
When configuring the database for a Kapplets installation, we recommend using UTF-8 collation with case-sensitivity.
New and enhanced features
This fix pack includes the following cumulative new and enhanced features from all fix packs for 11.3.0.
Fix Pack 5
Added properties to configure LDAP connection and read timeouts.
Use the properties
<property name="connectTimeout" value="30000"/>and<property name="readTimeout" value="30000"/>to login.xml, which expects an integer with the milliseconds for the connection and read timeouts.Or configure the timeouts using the Docker properties file with
LOGIN_LDAP_DIRECTORY_CONNECTTIMEOUTandLOGIN_LDAP_DIRECTORY_READTIMEOUT.
Fix Pack 4
Interim Kapplet results are now shown.
Desktop Automation Service timeout is now configurable.
Set the
das.timeout.secondssystem property, which expects an integer with the seconds to use for the connection timeout.
Fix Pack 3
Future fix packs will be able to reuse the Management Console database if there are no changes to the table structure.
Updates to the documentation
This ReadMe includes the following documentation updates.
| ID | Issue | Solution |
