Q. Where are the DX UIM v23.4 installation files - so we can add a new robot directly, without upgrading UIM to the new version after joining the robots to UIM using the old rpm that we already have...
Where to download:
All Native robot installer packages, e.g., .rpm’s are also located in the Nimsoft Internet Archive.

Likewise, for older package versions including installers, here is the HIDDEN site to bookmark:

The native installers are zipped like normal UIM packages, and the rpm is in the zip.
Follow this KB article to "deploy" those packages to the Primary hub, then you will find the unzipped .rpm packages in this folder on the Primary ->
/nimsoft/install/setup
Location of UIM native robot installers
When you drop the robot_rpm package onto the Primary hub, it does the unzipping for you, and it stores the rpm's in that folder.
Q. Supported OS/Versions
You will also find the Robot support matrix at the link below as well as other helpful info:

- Note that for Core DX UIM server components such as the UIM Server, and Operator Console, RHEL 6 is NOT supported. Currently, only RHEL 7, 8, and 9 are supported.
