Updating package versions

You can update multiple packages to default version for multiple bots. This feature enables you to update multiple package versions across all available bots with one action thereby increasing the efficiency of a bulk package update. Additionally, you can review the bots and dependencies before a bulk update.

In an enterprise business, maintaining a large number of bots with default and up-to-date packages is a tedious and time-consuming process. You cannot update those packages manually because you need to check the latest released package version and then update them for any required bots.

The Bot update feature in the Automation 360 platform provides a multiple package version update for multiple bots with dependencies. With one action, you can update multiple packages, bots that contain selected packages, and dependent bots.


Bulk package version updates for multiple bots
The Bot update feature provides the following benefits:
  • Ability to select more than one package

    You can view a list of all the available packages and select to update all the required packages instead of updating one package at a time. Also, you can update packages to their default versions for the required bots.

  • Ability to select only required and multiple bots

    You can select only the required bots that you want to update with default package version instead of selecting all bots for update. This decreases the time required to complete the update functionality.

  • Advanced reporting to view progress of bulk package updates
    The Automation 360 platform provides a comprehensive report to view the progress of a bulk update of a package with the user's information. It also provides the following details:
    • Number of packages considered for the update
    • Number of bots updated with default package version
    • Number of bots for which package version is updated successfully
    • Number of bots for which package version update is unsuccessful
    • Number of bots for which package version update is pending
    • Total time elapsed in bulk package version update
    • User who started the bulk package update operation
    • All packages, bots, and dependencies selected by the user
  • Enhanced compiler for accurate results

    With an upgraded compiler, the Automation 360 platform improves the overall accuracy and outcome of the bulk package version update processes.
