This page describes what's available in this release of Appian RPA. Some capabilities may not be available if you're using an older version of the Appian platform.
The RPA autologin service now automatically updates to the latest version when connecting to a newer version of Appian RPA. You’ll always have the most up-to-date security features and performance enhancements, reducing the need for manual updates and minimizing downtime. With this update, you can focus more on your work while the system takes care of staying current and secure.
Beginning with RPA 9.12, agents now require the use of Java 17. To ensure RPA continues to operate smoothly, upgrade to Java 17 immediately if you have not already. All low-code actions within Appian RPA are backward compatible, but you will need to check the compatibility of any custom actions. Be sure to review the Java 17 Upgrade Guidance for complete information. For help, contact Appian Support.
Version history for robotic tasks is available now! Easily explore and restore past versions, update to the latest, or delete unnecessary ones-all in Appian Designer. This addition brings a unified experience with other Appian objects, making it easier to keep your robotic tasks organized and current.
Note: This feature is enabled for customers on Appian 24.2 or higher.
We've optimized Appian RPA to enhance your automation experience. Robotic tasks now line up faster (up to 75%), letting more robots operate simultaneously due to quicker robotic task assignments. This improvement is especially beneficial during peak workloads when thousands of tasks need to be executed simultaneously, or in environments with a lot of robots; e.g., more than 50.
Beginning with RPA 9.12, agents will require the use of Java 17. To ensure RPA continues to operate smoothly, upgrade to Java 17 before August 2, 2024, in preparation for the RPA 9.12 release. Start by evaluating your current Java setup and begin with a controlled upgrade of non-critical systems. All low-code actions within Appian RPA are backward compatible, but you will need to check the compatibility of any custom actions. Be sure to review the Java 17 Upgrade Guidance for complete information. For help, contact Appian Support.
Exciting news for our self-managed customers! Appian on Kubernetes (AoK) just got better with the addition of Appian RPA. This new capability brings all of Appian RPA's features directly to your environment, be it cloud-based or on-premises.
We're aligning Appian RPA with the latest industry security standards by automatically pre-signing all agents. Additionally, robot keys will be used for agent authentication on Mac and Linux platforms. We're ensuring that your robot workforce is not only more secure but also more versatile and seamlessly integrated across diverse operating systems.
Note: This feature is enabled for customers on Appian 24.1 or higher.
Updates were made to improve the security and stability of Appian RPA.
The Robotic Workforce Manager (RWM) application has been deprecated, meaning it will no longer be updated or pre-installed for new Appian Cloud sites with Appian RPA enabled. Customers should use the Operations Console to manage robots instead.
