Facing the error "JiffyURL is not valid" while installing Jiffy Client. Image description

Provide the Jiffy Server URL without a '/ ' at the end. In the above example, it should be trainees.training.jiffy.ai.

When I start the Developer Bot I get the error "Connection to Jiffy Server failed". Image description

    It is recommended not to restart Jiffy System Manager and Jiffy JPipe Client services in multi-bot machines, as it can impact other bots which are in use.

  4. Firewalls/Antivirus: If the issue persists after starting Jiffy Services, check if there is any Firewall that is active.
    Navigate to Windows Security -->Firewall and Network protection and check if the Firewall is toggled Off. If not, toggle it Off. Image description
    In addition to Firewalls, check if there is any Antivirus enabled on the machine. Check for other antivirus software installed on the machine and de-activate the same. Image description
    Restart the Bot.

If the execution bot is not starting,

  1. Check if the remote machine is up and running.
  2. Check if there are any additional security warning message that must be clicked on the remote machine.

    Make sure that you have logged in to the remote machine with the same user which was used while creating the execution Bot.

As per the pre-requisite, it is mandatory to have Windows OS for Jiffy Client Installation.

Am unable to start the execution Bot. The status is Not Running and the error “Please check if the Jiffy system manager is running on the machine” is displayed. How can I start the execution bot? Image description

This issue is seen when the bot user doesn’t have admin privileges or the Jiffy System Manager is down.

  1. Check if the user used for the execution bot has admin privileges if not provide admin access to the bot user and then start the execution bot.
  2. Navigate to the Task Manager -> Services, check if the JiffySystem Manager is Running, else start the service.

I have installed the client however I am unable to run the bot. I am getting the “Jiffy connection failed” error. Image description

Provide the Jiffy Server URL without http://. In the above example, it should be trainees.training.jiffy.ai.

This issue occurs when the number of bots reach its maximum allowed licensed Bot limit.
If you're having trouble starting the execution bot from bot management page, try starting the developer bot on your machine. If you encounter the error message "Bot count has reached the allowed limit", that confirms the bot limit is reached the allowed licensed bot.
Check the Jiffy Service Log to investigate the issue further.
Raise a separate request if the bot limit needs to be increased.
Please refer to the licensing steps here.

This issue occurs due to permission issues.


grant {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};

Add the above code in in java.policy and javaws.policy files under lib\security of the jre\jdk being used to launch java apps.

When the RDP password is changed, it can prevent the user from stopping the bot from bot management.
To address this, stop the javaw.exe process for the affected bot from the bot machine.
