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.

Just to recap once more, first, we built some nested loops that went through lists, records, and folders. We also discovered a new Record data type variable. You were then given some exposure to all the other types of looping available, all of which we will cover in later chapters. The walk-throughs also included building some rule-based decisions with conditional statements, using variables, and checking if files exist.

Hopefully, you have had a great confidence boost in your RPA skills, but there is still more to come. In the next chapter, we will be delving into how to automate XML files. For this, I have a great walk-through for you. It will involve working with nodes within XML files, which will include updating, creating...
