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.

Chapter 23: Debugging Projects

We deployed the Vendor Invoice Posting project in Chapter 22, Deploying Projects, to the Learning_SAP_iRPA environment so that it is available for testing by the team. In a real-time scenario, the actual deployment to the testers will happen after confirming that the automation solution is as per the agreed requirements. That means that the developers need to complete the testing of the functionality to be delivered before deploying the solution to testers. Furthermore, there could be issues/defects reported by the testers during their testing that developers need to simulate, understand the reason for the issue, apply the fix, and release the fix to the testers. A debugger such as the Debug perspective provided by the Desktop Studio will help developers to break the execution at a specific line of the code and analyze the data and context that is being used to fix the issue.

In this chapter, we will learn about debugging the Vendor Invoice Posting...
