Robotic Process Automation with Automation Anywhere

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.

Managing your devices

Building bots aside, we need to deploy them to desktops. These can come in the form of laptops, desktop machines, virtual machines, and so on. In this section, all your devices are listed. Every device that needs to be deployed should be on this list. By selecting the MY DEVICES option from the menu pane, you will see the following interface:

Figure 3.17 – The My devices interface

To set this up, a device needs to be installed with a Bot agent and registered and connected to the control room.

In the previous chapter, we went through the process of setting a device up and connecting it to the Control Room. All your devices that are available on the network can be set up in the same way.

After your devices are set up, the users need to be set up and configured. User setup is done through the administration section.
