Dynamic Advanced Commands DAC Distribution System

Topic

Instructions 

• Nintex Dynamic Advanced Commands (DAC) are available for version 22.3.x and above.
• The DAC installer includes the server and client version. The same installation file covers both options.
• Choose the type of installation from the menu below: Client or Server. Then, follow the instructions below depending on the type of installation you choose. 

• The DAC server version must be installed on the RPA server for distribution to work.
• If Studio/Robot is installed on the RPA server, there is no need to install the client version.
• After Studio/Robot installation, go to the Options page to start the DAC sync.

 
For Server Installation:

• DAC should be installed immediately after RPA server is installed.
• Installation path cannot be defined. It will always be installed in:

<Installed Drive>:\Nintex\installer-assets

• After installation has been completed, a dynamic-commands folder will appear in the installer-assets folder in the installation directory.

• Opening the folder, you will be able to see all applicable advanced commands and all of them are in .zip format. 

• The actual folder which will be used for the distribution to the clients can be found in:

%ProgramData%\Kryon\ac\1\Approved
**The 1 in the above path represents the company ID of the tenant. If there is more than 1 tenant, you should see corresponding sub-folders matching the company ID of the respective tenants.
 

• Go to %ProgramData%\Kryon\ClientsProxy and verify that the clients-proxy .dat files are present.
• The frequency of the DAC sync can be configured from:

<Installed Drive>:\Nintex\config\prod\services\kryon-clients-manager-svc-default.json

• It is worth noting that it uses Cron Expressions.
   

For Client Installation (On Server)

• There is no need to install DAC client edition on RPA server for client usage.
• The DAC server edition should be installed before client installation.

• Studio/Robot appSettings configuration for DAC folder should point to %localappdata%\Kryon\DynamicCommands
• The first time Studio/Robot is launched, go to the Options menu and proceed to Advanced tab. Locate the section “DAC Updater Service”. Perform a first time sync manually and then set it to run the updater service automatically every 60 mins.

• Check back in the %localappdata%\Kryon\DynamicCommands folder after some time to verify if the DACs are synchronized from the server.
• Studio and Player will have their own folders to execute the DACs from.
   

For Client Installation (On Client Machines)

• Installation of DAC is as per normal. It should be installed after Studio/Robot has been installed.
• During installation, the option “Client” should be selected in the installer wizard.
• Studio/Robot appSettings configuration for DAC folder should be automatically updated to the location where the DACs were installed.
• The first time Studio/Robot is launched, go to the Options menu and proceed to Advanced tab. Locate the section “DAC Updater Service”. Perform a first time sync manually and then set it to run the updater service automatically every 60 minutes.
