Upgrade Basic Engine Robots

Starting with Kofax RPA 11.4.0, the Classic browser is deprecated, so you can no longer create new robots with this browser. The Classic browser will be removed in a future product release.

This procedure explains how to upgrade your Basic Engine Robot to the latest version. Using this procedure, you can also upgrade your Basic Engine Robot created with the Classic browser to a Basic Engine Robot that uses the WebKit-based browser.

  1. In the Projects tree view, right-click a Basic Engine Robot and click Upgrade.

    • Basic Engine Robots created with the WebKit-based browser are identified by the blue icon. They will be upgraded to the latest version.

    • Basic Engine Robot created with the Classic browser are identified by the orange icon. They will be upgraded to use the WebKit-based browser, and the icon will change to blue.

    Alternatively, you can upgrade all of your Basic Engine Robots at once, both Classic and WebKit, by selecting the top-level folder and clicking Upgrade.

    Another option is to open the preferred Basic Engine Robot in Design Studio by double-clicking the robot. If it requires an upgrade, a yellow warning message appears. To upgrade the robot, click Upgrade.

    The Upgrade dialog box opens.

  2. Verify that the presented list contains the items that you want to upgrade and click Next to proceed.

  3. The wizard will back up the robot and any Snippets associated with it. Select a folder to contain the backup files and click Finish to start the upgrade.
