Hi @ms4446
I shall be grateful if you can help me
I have the following use case:
1) I have a third party software which is to with Robotic Process Automation called "Automation Everywhere"
2) Currently I have that software installed locally on my machine in Windows and I have automated certain processes/ tasks using that third party software
3) The outputs of the automation are fed separately into a cloud composer pipeline and I do some Dataform based transformations, etc
4) Now, my question is:
A) Instead of doing the RPA process with the software installed locally, can I install it on a Windows VM ?
B) Fundamental question:
I will be running the RPA process periodically. When the RPA is not run during certain periods of the day or month, the VM will be shut
Let's say I have run a RPA process on : 21 July and 22 July. Next I want to run it on 27 July. So the VM will be shut from 23 July to 26 July.
When I switch it back on on 27 July, will it be the same VM machine I will have in hand or will it be a different VM machine but with installations mirrored on the new machine? I want to understand this scenario.
Will the IP address of the machine (VM) used on 21 July and 22 July and then the machine (VM) to be used on 27 July be same?
I will be installing some dependencies as well on the VM related to Automation Everywhere
