Start Management Console

For production scenarios, we recommend that you set up a Tomcat version of the Management Console. Refer to the Tungsten RPA Administrator's Guide.

In embedded mode, start Management Console as follows, depending upon your operating system.

Windows

From Start menu:

Use the Start Management Console option on the Start menu.

All required parameters are included in the Start menu shortcut that starts the embedded Management Console with the default superuser name and password.

From command line interface:

Run the following command in the bin subfolder of the installation folder. 

RoboServer.exe -p 50000 -MC -mcUrl http://ServerName:port

Linux

Start Management Console from the command line interface.

The CLI is part of the RoboServer program, which is found in the bin directory under the installation directory. 

$./RoboServer -p 50000 -MC -mcUrl http://ServerName:port

This starts a RoboServer listening on a socket at port 50000. The RoboServer provides Management Console functionality through a web interface on a configured port.

Configure the port in the RoboServer Settings application on the Management Console tab). See Embedded mode management.

Start RoboServer

Use the command line to start a RoboServer and register it with a Management Console: 

RoboServer.exe -p 50000 -MC  -mcUrl http://ServerName:port -ss <MC Shared Secret> -cl "Production"
This starts a RoboServer on port 50000 and registers it to the Management Console at ServerName:port, under the Production cluster with authentication.

After setting up the Management Console, start as many RoboServers as you like using the -p 50000 parameter. These are the only RoboServers that should be added to the RoboServers section.

Open Management Console in a browser

After the Management Console is started, open it in a browser.

  • On Windows, click the Management Console option on the Start menu.

  • On all platforms, open a browser and go to http://ServerName:port/.

When started for the first time, log in using the default credentials, accept the license terms, and enter your license information, including your license keys. If you need to change the license information later, you can do so in Admin > License.
