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.

Packaging and importing the project into the Cloud Factory

We now have the Learning_SAP_iRPA environment ready to add packages. We need to export the project as a package first so that the package can be imported into the environment. We learned about exporting projects in the Exporting a project for deployment into the SAP Intelligent RPA tenant section of Chapter 10, Creating and Managing Projects. Let's put that knowledge into practice to create a package for the Vendor Invoice Posting project.

Creating a project package

A package is a .zip file that includes all the project source files that can be imported to an environment in the Cloud Factory.

Here, a package can be created by exporting the project in the Desktop Studio by executing the following steps:

  1. Open the Vendor Invoice Posting project in the Desktop Studio.
  2. Select the File | Export Project menu option.
  3. Once exporting the project is completed and all the files are compressed to a .zip file...
