SAP Intelligent RPA for Developers

Overview of this book

SAP Intelligent Robotic Process Automation (RPA) enables businesses to automate repetitive work and integrate automation capabilities across SAP and non-SAP systems. This book provides end-to-end coverage of business process automation using SAP Intelligent RPA and shows how to build multiple SAP Intelligent RPA projects from start to finish. Some of these projects may build upon the work done in previous chapters to showcase the Agile development process in SAP Intelligent RPA. As you progress, you'll cover the SAP Intelligent RPA factory, Desktop Studio, Cloud Studio, and the Bot store. You'll also learn about the building blocks of the SAP Intelligent RPA solution and creating bots from initial application declaration to workflow design and deployment, along with making bots run in attended and unattended modes. You'll also learn about SAP Process Automation, the new SAP service that is going to replace the SAP Intelligent RPA service soon. Finally, we will discuss the migration path for your SAP Intelligent RPA projects to SAP Process Automation and showcase that the RPA development remains similar in both services. By the end of this RPA book, you’ll be able to create and manage complex bots that are capable of interacting with SAP and non-SAP systems.

Understanding the SPA service

SPA is a new SAP service that intends to combine two existing services, SAP Intelligent RPA and Workflow Management, to offer automation developers a full suite of tools in one place. Within the SPA service, we still have the option of creating either automation or a workflow or creating an end-to-end process. However, all these options are available under a single service now. If your license for SAP Intelligent RPA or Workflow Management is valid for more time, you can still keep using those services for that duration.

Our core concern is to help you transition from SAP Intelligent RPA to SPA. Therefore, we will touch upon only the relevant parts of the service. Let's see how SPA looks and how we can create automations using this new service.
