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.

For our given scenario, the main task bot runs three sub-task bots. To run a sub-task bot from within your main task bot, you need to use the Task Bot package. This package contains actions such as Pause, Run, and Stop. The Run action will run another task. The configuration of this action includes the following:

  • Specifying the location of the task bot
  • Specifying any input variables
  • Specifying the repeatable status of the task

When a sub-task is actioned, Automation Anywhere will run that task, and once it's completed, it returns back to the main task and continues from the next line. Later on in this chapter, there is a walk-through that will take you through building our bot for this scenario. You will build your sub-tasks and the main task. This will give you the practical knowledge of applying the Task bot: Run action. Often you will need to pass parameters to sub-tasks. In the next section, we will have a look at passing variables...
