By: Husan Mahey

Overview of this book

With an increase in the number of organizations deploying RPA solutions, Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is quickly becoming the most desired skill set for both developers starting their career and seasoned professionals. This book will show you how to use Automation Anywhere A2019, one of the leading platforms used widely for RPA. Starting with an introduction to RPA and Automation Anywhere, the book will guide you through the registration, installation, and configuration of the Bot agent and Control Room. With the help of easy-to-follow instructions, you’ll build your first bot and discover how you can automate tasks with Excel, Word, emails, XML, and PDF files. You’ll learn from practical examples based on real-world business scenarios, and gain insights into building more robust and resilient bots, executing external scripts such as VBScripts and Python, and adding error handling routines. By the end of this RPA book, you’ll have developed the skills required to install and configure an RPA platform confidently and have a solid understanding of how to build complex and robust, yet performant, bots.

Summary

This chapter has been all about building robust, resilient bots that can get up and continue even when they fall over. We have explored the Error handler package and the actions available. The walk-through provided the practical skills to actually build your own error-handling routine. Having a good error-handling routine is key to the success of your bots. No matter how great the functionality of your bot, one thing we cannot guarantee is the quality of any source inputs. A mechanism is needed to manage any anomalies in the best way possible. Using error management and some defensive coding is a step in the right direction.

This brings us to the end of this book. I hope you have enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed writing it. By following all the walk-throughs, you will have just over 20 bots already built, each one demonstrating some benefits of RPA. Hopefully, you have gained the skills and confidence to take you to the next step of your RPA journey. You are probably thinking...
