Removed support of PHP and separate TinyMCE web application, as now TinyMCE is a part of Control Tower services.
Removed the following outdated and obsolete elements:
Advanced and Active Tasks tabs on the System Preferences page
Enable Manual Review settings for Manual Task
Receive notifications when Tasks returned from WorkSpace tracking and settings
<alexa> and <who-is> bot plugins
cost and data-only attributes for the export plugin
Export XML action removed from the Manual Tasks list. It is no longer used since it is impossible to import XML. To explore alternative migration options, refer to Migrate Task, BP, Use Case to another CT instance.
Import Use Case functionality removed in favor of Asset Import.
Hit and EndPoint task activities are no longer registered in Control Tower Activity Log.
OCR
GET processDocument request deprecated in OCR API and will be removed in the next major release. Use POST processDocument request method instead. For usage tips, see OCR REST API.
RPA
Hub and Node (also known as Bot Relay and Bot) removed from the RPA Server deployment, as being redundant in the new BEP architecture. Now, RPA Worker sends commands directly to web or desktop drivers. Therefore each Bot Unit consists of a Bot Agent and an RPA Worker.
Hub and Node processes removed from Bot Agent configuration/package structure together with relevant hardcoded environment variables: bot-agent-nordp.yml, bot-agent-unit.yml, unit.yml, unit_nordp.yml.
The following components inside RPA installer removed: start-process.bat, start-unit-hub1.bat, start-unit-nod1.bat, unit-hub.json, unit-node.json.
Unused jar files from dependency directory removed in RPA installer.
Unused analytics data on Bot Relay and Bot removed from bot_unit_status and bot_unit tables in Bot Manager.
Node searching mechanism and driver registry removed from <robot> and <robotics-flow> plugins.
In compliance with the changes above, all unused maven dependencies and environment variables removed from rpa-api and rpa-desktop components.
All constants, environment variables, and paths to drivers removed from .bat files and set up as Windows environment variables by the installer automatically during the installation process.
Analytics
As Bot Relay and Bot are removed from the RPA Server deployment, we remove Reporting API bot_unit view Bot Relay Port and Bot Port fields. This does not affect analytics statistics calculation.
Bot Relay Host was renamed to Bot Unit all over the RPA dashboard.
