In 7.2, Runtime resource is showing state as Idle but connection is disconnected.

[Sheela]

Hi,

We are planning to upgrade BP to 7.2. So while testing, we tried to setup Runtime resource.

The state of resource is Idle, but connection is disconnected.

Appreciate any suggestions to resolve this issue.

Hi, Sheela,

not sure if this can be the reason but recently we installed Blue Prism in the environment without DNS server and we had to add IP address of BP App Server to  Runtime Resources hosts file. In Control Room the RR were Idle, disconnected and strange icon which I have never seen before. Updating hosts file fixed everything.

I am not sure if this is your case but you can give it a try.

Regards

Hi, Sheela,

you need to go to your RR to the path c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\ and locate file called hosts.

In this file you need to add a line something like this (I made the ip address up so you need to enter the correct one):

192.168.10.15    <fqdn of your BP APP Server>

Then save hosts file in the same location and clear cache and give it another try.

Regards

Zdenek

We're on 7.1 and sometimes see the idle disco state.

We have found running 

"ipconfig /renew" and then "ipconfig /flushdns" followed by a restart has fixed this for us in the past.

Is the RTR a VDI?

Hi @Brian Clayton

Thank you for your suggestions.

We will try this solution.

We are using VDI as RR.
