Background Processes
The RWM application was deprecated with Appian 24.1. The application will no longer be updated or pre-installed for new Appian Cloud sites with Appian RPA enabled.

RWM will be removed in a future release and we encourage customers to use the Operations Console to manage robots instead.

Introduction

Robotic Workforce Manager (RWM) requires a number of background processes to ensure that it stays continually up to date with information from external RPA systems, as well as Appian BPM processes. It also needs to update external systems.

While the details below may appear in other parts of the RWM documentation, the tables below provide a summary of all the background processing at a high level.
