KeepAlive sessions within RPA

When using partial services with keepAlive flag, it is the RPA programmer's responsibility to close the session via keepAlive=false or via Services.killSession().

Specifically, in the following cases the RPA doesn't automatically close the session:

• RPA that finishes successfully.
• Javascript node that calls ’throw’.
• Exit.ThrowError node.
• Exit.Finish node.
• Service node that runs a full service .
• Service node that starts a new keepAlive session.

In all above cases, the session will remain alive until closed manually OR until SESSION_MANAGER_PARTIAL_SESSIONS_TIMEOUT_SECONDS.

The RPA automatically closes the session only in the following cases:

• Service node of a partial service that fails (it closes the keepAlive session it received).
• Services.startSession() - the command sets keepAlive=true and kill any existing session. 
• Services.killSession().
