Manage Desktop Automation Service
Click the Desktop Automation Service shortcut menu to access the following options.
Use these options to manage the Desktop Automation Service running on a remote computer.
- Stop DA service: Stops the service, which makes the remote device unavailable. The computer running the Desktop Automation Service is removed from the list in the Management Console.
- Restart DA service: Stops and starts the service. A robot or Design Studio loses the connection to the device and must be reloaded to restore it.
- Suspend DA service: Suspends the
device. If suspended, the service is displayed as suspended in the
Management Console. To restore the service operation, a user or an
administrator needs to manually start the
Desktop Automation
Service on the device.
The suspended state makes the DA service unavailable for robots to use, but the state information is sent to the Management Console through the ping mechanism and the devices are displayed in the section. This command is useful if for some reason the service or the computer running it needs configuration changes.
- Lock Screen: Locks the screen on the remote device. The Desktop Automation Service must be installed and configured before you can use this option. See "Use Lock Screen" in the Desktop Automation Service Guide.
-
Configure: Opens the Desktop Automation Service configuration dialog box. See the Kofax RPA Desktop Automation Service Guide.
