      At last it works.

      It's very painfull that SCP and now BTP change the UI all the time.

      Configuring a Trial can't be done without such guidance...

       

      Do you think it's normal?!?

       

      Thanks for this guide I hope it will be still valid for few days.... :-/

      Hi Taryck BENSIALI

      The configuration process is made much easier for RPA in BTP.

      We have  recently introduced Booster which would complete  the Onboarding in few min.

      It will be available soon.

      Please have a look at the preview.

      Regards,

      Priya

      Hi Rishabh Bhardwaj

      ,

      Did you delete the account and re-create a new one again?

      Can you share the screen shot of your factory login page(Home page). Just wanted to check few details  like validity and executions.

       

      Regards,

      Priya

      Hi,

      I have the same problem Default Identity Provider link is disabled.

      I have tried the Booster but in the Creating Service Instances step It fails. I think the problem is that in Booster is trying to create a Service Intance with Plan Standard instead of trial.

      So the situation is:

      1. If you try to configure manually all the process, like this blog explains, you are able to select Plan = Trial for Service = SAP Intelligent Robotic Process Automation Trial, but the Default Identity Provider link is disabled.
      2. If you try to launch the Booster, it fails becasue the Plan = Standard.

      So it is not possible to configure the trial anymore, is it?

      Thanks

      Regards.

      hi Priya,

      Yes, I could download the Agent from the link but Studio MSI is not present. I believe it is removed from the link lately. It was available for Trial before, right ?I could only use Cloud Studio but I believe it has less activities/SDKs to use.

      I understand that you require even Desktop Studio from Desktop Agent installation which was possible only with Desktop agent 2.X versions.

      The link for DesktopAGent 2.X was removed recently, it should be added back in 1-2 days.
