Migrate learning instances

Use the Automation 360 IQ Bot Migration Utility feature to migrate (export and import) learning instances between environments to avoid recreating similar learning instances and easily manage the lifecycle of the associated bots.

The learning instances can be migrated by the IQ Bot administrator or a user associated with custom role that has migration permissions. View a list of available learning instances by using IQ Bot > Administrator > Migration to go to the Migration Utility page.

What is transferred across environments

When you export a learning instance, an IQBA file is created with the following assets:
  • Document groups
  • Training documents (one per document group)
  • RPA bots (one per document group)
  • Custom domain (contact Automation Anywhere Enterprise support for assistance with transferring this type of asset)
Note: Production documents cannot be exported.

Transferring learning instances between IQ Bot environments

To move a learning instance from one environment to another, perform the following steps:

  1. Ensure that the source and destination systems are running the same IQ Bot version. Learning instances from different IQ Bot versions cannot be imported because their database schemas will not match.
  2. Back up your database and export the learning instances from the source IQ Bot environment: Backup and export learning instance
  3. Import the IQBA file into the destination IQ Bot environment: Import learning instance
Note: From Automation 360 v.29 version, you can export, import, download, and upload an IQBA file with maximum size of 5 GB. You can follow these best practices or recommendations when the IQBA file size is 5 GB.
  • When you export a 5 GB file, the system slows down significantly. This cannot be avoided since resources are utilized to support this export activity.
  • You must perform an LI export activity during IQ Bot downtime or off-peak hours when you are not actively using the system. During the export process, you must not perform any other actions on IQ Bot which could lead to inconsistent results.
