Hi , I would note down point wise for better understanding--


 


  1. Pega Robotics deployment portal are outdated as of now.

  2. The deployment portal was serving as a repository for Automation packages .

  3. Now this is achieved by the combination of Robot Manager and Package Server.

  4. Robot Manager - is used for

  • monitoring all the runtime robots

  • assign the packages

  • change deployment levels , and many more..

    5. Package Server  is used -


  • to deploy the Automation Package ( .openspan  &  .manifest  ) files

  • when deployed from the Studio, the package gets published to Package server

  • and the Automation metadata is published to Robot Manager

Thus the package management/distribution is done through Robot manager.


Each time runtime launches, it queries the Robot manager metadata , to compare if a latest version/package is available , if so , it pulls the latest package and runs.
