Prepare for migration when using Enterprise 11 and Automation 360 Cloud in parallel

Perform the tasks in this workflow if you want to use both Automation 360 Cloud and Enterprise 11 in parallel. You can continue to use both environments till the time you are ready to start the migration from Enterprise 11 to Automation 360 Cloud.

Prerequisites

  1. Ensure that you have completed the following tasks to check your readiness for migration

    Check migration readiness.

  2. Ensure you have procured and activated your migration license.

    Get migration license

Important:
  • Migration is performed to a new Cloud Control Room, which will be provisioned during the migration. You cannot reuse an existing Cloud Control Room for the migration.
  • You cannot use the Cloud Migration Utility to upload your data to the Cloud Control Room if you have selected the standard Automation 360 Cloud SKUs when you signed the order form.

    If you want to use the Cloud Migration Utility, you must have selected the Automation 360 Cloud migration SKUs when you signed the order form.

Procedure

  1. Ensure that all the credential variables used in the Enterprise 11 bots are available in the Enterprise 11 Control Room.
  2. Download and install the Cloud migration utility.
    Install Cloud Migration Utility
  3. Use the Cloud migration utility to upload Enterprise 11 data to Automation Anywhere Cloud.
    Upload Enterprise 11 data using Cloud Migration Utility
  4. Continue using both Enterprise 11 and Automation 360 environments in parallel.
    Note: Create all new bots and entities such as users, roles, and schedules in Automation 360.
  5. If you create any new entity such as users, roles, or schedules (except bots) in Enterprise 11 after installing Automation 360, create the same entity in Automation 360.
  6. When you are ready to use only Automation 360 as your production environment:
    1. If you have created new bots in Enterprise 11 data is uploaded in Automation 360 Cloud:
      1. Export all the bots and their dependencies that were created after data was uploaded in Automation 360 Cloud using Bot Lifecycle Management.

        Export bots

      2. Import all the bots to Automation 360 using Bot Lifecycle Management.

        Import bots

      Note: After migration, if you add any new Bot Insight data or dashboard or modify any existing data in Enterprise 11, these changes are currently not imported to Automation 360 and therefore will not be migrated.
