Cloud preview sandbox environment
The Cloud preview sandbox environment for Automation 360 Cloud enables you to test your production bots to ensure that these bots work seamlessly in your production environment. Use the Cloud preview sandbox environment to help plan and test new features for upcoming Automation 360 releases.
Benefits
The Cloud preview sandbox environment is the same as any Automation 360
Cloud instance but includes updates from the upcoming new
release a few weeks before Automation Anywhere
Cloud is updated.
Note: The Cloud preview
sandbox environment should not be used as your production
environment.
The environment helps Automation 360
Cloud customers to perform these tasks:
- Test new features and identify any changes that might be required in your current bots.
- Preview upcoming features and enhancements.
- Better plan and manage changes for the upcoming update to your environment.
The sandbox environment is available only for Automation 360 cloud and
cloud-enabled deployments. The environment is not supported for an Control Room in a data center that is hosted by you or a third-party
vendor. The environment includes upcoming updates for Automation 360,
Discovery Bot, AARI, and Bot Insight.
Note: IQ Bot is not included in the
sandbox environment.
Prerequisites
- You must have a valid Automation 360 Cloud license to use the Cloud preview sandbox environment.
- You must purchase an orderable sandbox SKU.
