Important: To ensure correct functioning of the TM Agent, remember the following information:
  • The TM Agent does not support the SAP/SRM web application.
  • If you use dual monitors, there might be problems during the registration of the TM Agent. For this reason, it is recommended that you use only one monitor or record on the primary monitor.
  • It is recommended that you restart the TM Agent after you change the resolution and scale layout settings on your Windows system.
  • To ensure the accurate processing of the collected screen captures, you must use a display resolution lower than 4K (2160x3840 pixel).
  • If your system slows down after a few hours of recording with the SAP application, you must restart the TM Agent and the SAP application.

Citrix Support

When you install TM Agent on a Citrix App Layering Virtual Desktop environment, the following folder must be persistent: C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\IBM Task Mining Agent

In Citrix App Layering:

  • The user activity tracking is supported on Citrix XenDesktop.
  • The user activity tracking is supported on Citrix XenApp, if you publish the Remote Desktop.
  • The user activity tracking is not currently supported on Citrix XenApp, if you publish each single application.
Note: The steps for installing the TM client components on Citrix are the same as for a local installation on the workstation of the final user.
