Changes in behavior

Classic browser discontinued

Starting with RPA 11.4.0, the Classic browser is no longer supported. You can no longer create new robots with this browser. The following steps are no longer available with the Classic browser:

Submit form
Crawl pages
Divide table

Upgrade your Basic Engine Robots created with the Classic browser to Basic Engine Robots that use a WebKit-based browser. See Upgrade Basic Engine Robots in the Kofax RPA Help.

Internet Explorer discontinued

Microsoft has ended support for Internet Explorer. Use the Finder Updater Tool to migrate robots from Internet Explorer to Microsoft Edge. This tool is in the installation package.

Within Microsoft Edge, there is an Internet Explorer mode.

Desktop Automation browser upgrade

The Chromium embedded framework (CEF) version is now upgraded to version 102.0.5005.115 with the RPA 11.4.0 release.

OAuth credentials as input variable discontinued

Entering OAuth credentials as an explicit input variable for Kapplets is no longer supported. For RPA versions 11.3.0 and newer, enter OAuth credentials in Management Console, where you can select from a list when configuring Kapplets.

If you have any Kapplets that use explicit input variables as OAuth credentials, you must modify them to use OAuth credentials from the Management Console.

Use same Scheduler database in fix packs

When installing RPA 11.4.0 fix packs, you can reuse the database if there are no changes to the database structure. Instructions and limitations will be included in the ReadMe delivered with each fix pack.

Databases cannot be reused when upgrading from one major release to another.

Database parameters and procedures

The Robot steps Query Database and Execute SQL now support positional parameters and calling stored procedures. See Database in the Kofax RPA Help.

Recorder View close tabs

Recorder View tabs now have an "x" Close Application option at the top right to close them.

Output renamed to Return Types

When editing a robot in the Attributes pane, Output is renamed to Return Types.

OAuth2 support for IMAP

Google and Microsoft announced deprecation and removal of basic authentication mechanisms for the IMAP protocol. This change impacts your ability to create email triggers.

With this release, we provide an OAuth2 access token and pass it to the email trigger, so it can connect to the IMAP folder and manipulate emails.

For information about email accounts and setting OAuth properties, see Email Accounts in the Kofax RPA User's Guide.

Call Robot changes

When you use the Call Robot step for Basic Engine Robots, be aware that the following UI names have changed:

Output Mapping is Return Variables
Required Devices is Devices
Database Mapping is Database

See Call Robot in the Kofax RPA Help.

Document Transformation driver

An upgrade to the RPA Documentation Transformation driver is based on the new Kofax Transformation Toolkit version 7.0.0.4.
