Introduction:
Automation Anywhere is one of the well-known RPA vendors giving great and
easy to understand RPA abilities to robotize any mind-boggling errands. It is
one of the “Progressive Technology” that progressions the manner in which
the endeavour works.
This tool joins current RPA with scholarly components like common dialect
comprehension and perusing any unstructured information.

Why Automation Anywhere?

 No programming information is required. You can record your
activities, or point and tap the activity wizards. Takes out the
component of the human mistake
 Expands exchange speed and permits to save time and expenses
 Snappy Time to Value, Non-nosy
 Encourages you to robotize information exchanges and import or
fare information between documents or applications.
Features of Automation Anywhere
 Brilliant robotization for big business and IT undertakings
 Oversees SMART Automation Technology
 Rapidly Automates unpredictable and muddled undertakings

mouse strokes
 Circulate assignments too numerous PCs
  Automation Anywhere offers script less computerization
 Auto-login runs planned assignments on whenever
notwithstanding when the PC is bolted.
What Process Can You Automate?
Automation Anywhere controls the computer through GUI just like a human
user.
Able to automate
 Extracting from’ and ‘inputting to’ all information silos
 Web – Windows – Cloud – Legacy systems
 All Windows and Web user navigation and actions
 Data comparison and validation
 Rule based decisions
Not able to automate
 Hand-written
 Non-rule-based judgment calls
ARCHITECTURE:
Automation Anywhere Architecture has 3 primary components
1. Control Room
2. Bot Creator
3. Bot Runner

Control room- is a web-based platform that controls the

Automation Anywhere. In other words, it’s the Server that
controls Automation Anywhere bots.
Apart from that the control room deal with
User management
Source control: the control room manages code for the bots.
So, it becomes clear to give the code over complex
systems.
Dashboard- • It gives comprehensive results of bots. i.e.,
how many bots are successful run and how many are failed,
etc.
License Management: The licenses purchased are
configured in the Control Room.
There are 2 types of Licenses in Automation Anywhere
1. Dev License: With this license, we can create, edit and run a bot.
2. Run License: With this license we can run the bot but not able to
make any changes.
Here is the Picture to Access and manage automation tasks
from anywhere anytime in the Web Control Room
Bot Creator- Developers use Desktop based applications to
build bots. On verification, the code of the bots they create is
stored in the control room. Several developers may create
unique tasks/bots. These bots could be mixed and
performed at once.

Here is the Bot Creator Process

 Designers
 Recorders
 Properties
 Variable Manger
 Task Editor
 Command Library

Let’s discuss in each of the above topics

Workflow Design
To assist you in designing and improving your business
workflows, Automation Anywhere provides a Workflow
Designer tool.
The Workflow Designer helps you build Workflow flow
diagrams in a graphical environment.
You can subsequently use these Workflow to build and run
automated Workflows using Automation Anywhere.

Report Designer
Automation Anywhere provides graphical reports that display the status of
tasks and workflows, as well as the ROI over time.
You can view the following types of reports:
1. Task Run: Displays how many times a task has run successfully,
and how many times it has failed during the period.
2. Workflow Run: Displays how many times a workflow has run
successfully and how many times it has failed during the period.
Types of Records
1)Web Recorder 2) Smart Recorder 3) Screen Recorder
1)Smart Recorder:
 Recorder is based on provided window title

automatically calculated based on the task.
8. Total Clicks – Lists the total clicks (Mouse Clicks + Keystrokes)
recorded in the task.
9. Priority for queuing – You can specify a priority for the task, which
will decide the precedence of the task when it is in a queue.
10. Timeout – You can specify timeout for the task to ensure that
the task gets aborted automatically after the specified time.
Timeout can be set only in minutes between the range of 0 to
9999.
11. Enable this task to run with other similar files or window titles –
By default, the task recorded will only run on the specific file(s) it
 was recorded on. However, SMART Automation Technology
includes an option for running the recorded task on any file within
the application it was recorded in.
12. Description/Notes – Add descriptions and notes for a task
Repeat Property
Automation Anywhere enables you to repeat a task that is scheduled to run.
You can set the following options for the Repeat property:
 Do not repeat: The task runs only once. This is the default option.
 Repeat a number of times: Repeats the task a number of times, as
specified in this field.
Example: Repeat an email task 15 times to send 15 emails.
 Repeat until I Stop it: Repeats the task until you stop it by clicking
the stop button or by pressing the ESC key. Use this option when
you are not sure how many times the task needs to run.
 Repeat for hh:mm:ss time: Repeats the task for a time period that
you specify.
 Time between repeats: Sets a duration of time to wait before
repeating a task.
 Upon error, continue with next repeat: By default, running tasks
are stopped when an error occurs. By setting this option, the task
is repeated regardless of run failure
Speed Property
Use the Speed property to adjust the speed at which a task runs. You can also
view the duration in hours, minutes, and seconds that it takes the task to run.
The speed of the task can be adjusted to run in 3 speeds:

 Standard Replay – The task runs at the same speed as when it was
recorded.
 High-Speed Replay – The task runs at a faster speed than was
recorded.
 Turbo-Action Replay – The task runs at the fastest speed and
excludes any mouse moves.

Notification Property
  When planning to run your tasks, you can set up email
notifications that are sent to one or more email addresses that you
specify.
 In the Notification tab under Properties, select ‘Send email
notification when task finishes’ and specify one or more email

Now we are getting into another Topic
What are Variables?
A variable is a storage location containing information – like a mailbox
containing a single letter
Information in the variable changes but the mailbox name does not – the
letters come and go but the mailbox does not change
 List variables are one or more variables grouped together to
simplify operations – like the centralized mailboxes for a single
floor at an apartment complex, the mail carrier only has to stop
once per floor to fill all of the boxes
 Array variables are many variables grouped like by rows and
columns – like the centralized mailboxes for all of floors in an
 apartment complex, the mail carrier only has to stop once per
complex to fill all of the boxes
 Local variables are created as they are needed – add more
mailboxes as you need to store more data
 System variables are predefined by AA and used for specific
operations – for example a mailbox that only contains your electric
bill
 AA has provided two variables – prebuilt mailboxes you can use
 vVariable = vVariable + 1 is a true statement
 vVariable3 = vVariable1 + vVariable2 is also a true statement
How to Define & Use the Variables
LOCAL VARIABLES
 Value (String, integer, double)
 Other types (List, Data Table, Random)
SPECIAL VARIABLES
 Prompt-Assignment – temporary variable (do not overuse)
 Clipboard – stores the value of the system clipboard (Ctrl + c)
 Utilize Clipboard commands to variable clipboard value
 Application Path – Bot execution path for current automation
 System Variables – see all of the predefined system
variables/constants in Variable ManagerShow System Variables
 Commonly Used: Counter, Filename, Extension, Excel Column,
File data Column, Error Line Number, Error Description,
Clipboard, Date, Hour, Minute, Second, Day, Month, Year
TIP: Use Variable Operation to populate all local variables.

Variable Manager
  Located on the far right of any task window
 Accessed by clicking the Variable Manager tab and hidden by
clicking the X in the top right corner
 Provides the list of all Local Variables available within a particular
task

User Management
 Client User management involves creating users after defining
specific roles as soon as the Control Room is hosted. These users
can be either Non-Active Directory Users or Active Directory
Users, as configured during installation.

Audit Trail
• Grants an administrator and user an essential data for observing task flow
and status to internal observance regulations, as well as to limit tampering with

critical processes.
Task Schedule
  In Control Room, users with required privileges can schedule a
selected task on selected Runtime Client(s) and also export the
upcoming task schedule details to a CSV file.
 The Control Room Administrator can schedule tasks to play on
Client(s) machines when Version Control is enabled in the Control
Room.

Security
 Activities and access to Control Room for Users (Administrators,
Clients and non-Clients) are governed by the role defined for
each.
 The role-based accessibility model ensures each User has
console-access, to view information or data that is relevant to the
role assigned by the Control Room Administrator.

 Roles & Permissions:- Admin, Basic, Bot Creator, and Bot

Runner Roles are defined by default in the Control Room. The
permissions to these roles are also pre-defined and cannot be
edited.
 An Admin user is assigned the role of the Control Room
administrator.
  A Basic role is assigned to users with access rights to the ‘My
Tasks’ folder only with ‘Upload’ and/or ‘Download’ rights.
 A Bot Creator role has all folder access permissions.
 A Bot Runner role also has all folder access rights.

Clients
 Displays the clients registered with the Web Control Room

Credential Manager
 The Credential Manager allows you to add a Credential Key and
Attributes in the Control Room Credential Vault that can be
assigned in commands as Credential Variables.
App Management
 Helps in Linking the Bot Insight application to the Web Control
Room

Automation Anywhere MetaBot

MetaBot Design
1. A MetaBot is an automation blueprint of an application that can be
re-used to optimize processes. They help you standardize your
processes end to end.
2. MetaBots enable you to create automation building blocks that
capture information in the form of visuals or application APIs.
These can thereon be integrated as commands and further
leveraged by varied processes to deliver value at multiple levels.
MetaBots can be constructed using:
 Visual captures (Screen) – These are GUI components (screens)
of an application.
 In MetaBot Designer, a visual capture is referred as Screen.
 Application APIs (DLL)- These are interfaces that allow low level
operations of an application by circumventing GUI.
 The MetaBot Designer also supports the most common format of
API on Windows platform – the DLL.
 Navigational flows (Logic) – These are pre-configured use cases
of an application and leverage Visual captures and APIs.
 In MetaBot Designer, Screens and DLLs form the Assets using
which you can define and pre-configure any use case of a target
application to create a navigational flow, known as Logic.
Benefit of MetaBots

Using MetaBot
The MetaBot Designer helps you to:
 Create MetaBots.
 Add Assets – Screens and DLLs to your MetaBots.
 Manage your MetaBot Assets.
 Configure and Calibrate the Screens.
 Create custom objects on the Screens.
 Create Logic to represent a navigational flow using Screens and
DLLs.
 Upload the MetaBots to the Control Room for use by other
Enterprise Client users.
 Edit MetaBots created by other users.
 Export and Import MetaBots for use in different Control Room
setups.
Here is the Design of METABOT

Features
1. New – Use this to create a New MetaBot. The MetaBot thus
created does not include any Assets or Logic; its empty. You can
start with either – ‘Record Screen’, ‘Add Screen’ or even ‘Add DLL’
based on the purpose for which the MetaBot needs to be created.
2. Record – Record is an alternate method of creating a MetaBot.
Here, at-least one MetaBot will be present as its recorded.
3. My MetaBots – This tab is shown by default; it displays all
MetaBots. This tab is always open, by default.
4. Configure –use this to edit your application properties for the
recorded/added screen.
5. Calibrate- use this to instantly compare an existing screen with a
newer screen to identify changes if any
6. Upload – This is use to upload MetaBots to the Control Room for
downloaded by other users.
7. Delete- This is use to delete MetaBots, Screen and Dlls.
8. Export/Import –This is use to export and import MetaBots for use
in different Control Room setups.
