I uninstalled the bot agent, used the uninstall.batch file on C:\Program Files\Automation Anywhere\Bot Agent

 

while i was trying to install the bot agent, it gave this error” 

Unable to connect to the Control Room and it may be due to not being able validate the SSL certificate presented by the Control Room.

This may be due to multiple reasons. To continue, please 1. Check to see if the SSL certificate has been added to the Java Key Store that is bundled with the bot agent. Then, try again.

If you continue to see this message, please contact your system administrator.”

 

what should i do next?

@Raul Jaimes @ChanduMohammad its solved now.

in the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\host file, at the last row, I added the controlroom IP address tabspace controlroomlink and saved the file

then we updated the correct cacerts certificate in the C:\Program Files\Automation Anywhere\Bot Agent\jre\lib\security cacerts  this path.

installed botagent, it works now, thank you :)

@Raul Jaimes yes, links for both controlroom are same but only the IP adress are different. botrunner is same , i just try to use it for newly installed botrunner. I deleted botagent on botrunner, and deleted botrunner device on the old controlroom

ok, @Semih 3318 ,

So, seems  you have two differents ip’s for two different control-rooms and just only one name address.  

As @ChanduMohammad mentioned, you will need to involve your  IT/SPOC  team. it seems you will need and additional DNS record, but it will be a different name address.

 

Regards.
