Then click on the icon , after which the "Remote Debugging" window will open. After configuring the remote debugging of the robot, the IP and client name available for remote debugging will appear in this window.

After enabling remote debugging mode in Sherpa Designer, you need to configure remote debugging in Sherpa Assistant. Launch the program, then right-click on the icon in the tray and select "Settings..." from the context menu.

In the opened window, select the "Execution" tab.

In the "Execution" tab menu, select the "Remote Debugging" tab.

In the "Remote Debugging" tab menu, specify:

• remote debugging server;
• Sherpa Assistant remote debugging port;
• Sherpa Robot remote debugging port.

Check the box in the "Enable Remote Debugging" field.

Click the "OK" button. Remote debugging of the robot on the Sherpa RPA platform is enabled.

Check the connection of the remote client in the Sherpa Designer program. To do this, click the button again. A line with the IP and client name will appear in the opened window.
