Adding the Pega Loader program on the Citrix server
Use the Pega Loader program to start Robot
Runtime on your Citrix server. On the Citrix client, Robot Runtime passes information to the published
virtual application (Pega.Loader.exe
). The Pega Synchronization Engine uses this information to ensure that the correct
verson of Robot Runtime is installed on the
Citrix server.
