Beginner Pega Robot Manager 8.5.1 Robotic Process Automation English

Scenario

MyTown has encountered an error using a robot to process the creation of New Water Service accounts. A support request has been sent to you to investigate this issue. Before you can suggest a recommendation to resolve this issue, you need to capture the error in a Runtime log file. Using Pega Robot Manager™, you must manage the Runtime configuration settings by enabling the creation of a detailed diagnostics log file, capturing the automation, adapter, and matching activity of the robot. After updating the Runtime configuration settings, you must assign the updated configuration file to your robot to verify the updates to the configuration file.
