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.

Supported operating systems

At the time of writing this chapter, only the Windows operating system supports the installation of SAP Intelligent RPA components. While you can install SAP Intelligent RPA components on a desktop running Windows 8.1 or Windows 10, Windows 10 (64-bit) is the recommended version. If you need to install SAP Intelligent RPA components on a server, Windows Server 2016 (64-bit) is the recommended version, but you can also use Windows Server 2012 R2 (64-bit).

If you cannot access a physical machine running the aforesaid operating systems or cannot get the administrator rights on your computer, consider using cloud-based virtual machines for your learning. For example, AWS, GCP, and Azure offer a free tier that you could use to begin your Intelligent RPA learning.

Now that we have established the necessity of a computer running the Windows operating system, let's discuss the minimum configuration for this computer to be used as a development system...
