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.

The SAPUI5 and S/4HANA connector

SAPUI5 connector is an extension of the Web connector. SAPUI5 is a framework that provides a list of libraries for building web applications. Any SAPUI5 application or web page can be captured as a standard web application. Even if the Web connector is used to capture SAPUI5, SAP Intelligent RPA identifies the SAP pages and SAP controls and provides methods that are specific for automating custom SAPUI5 controls. These additional methods will be available while you're developing the workflow and code. There will be no difference while capturing the page.

We will use the https://sapui5.hana.ondemand.com/#/demoapps application to capture a new web application in MyFirstProject. You can also try capturing any other application that's been developed with SAPUI5, such as SAP SuccessFactors, if you have access to the SuccessFactors instance.

Perform the following steps to capture an application that was developed using the SAPUI5 technology...
