Upload and download bots, workflows, and dependencies
Use the Enterprise Client to manually upload and download Task Bots, Master Bots, MetaBots, and Workflows with any related dependencies to and from the Repository.
From Version 11.3.4 and later, the Enterprise Client automatically downloads the latest Task Bots and associated dependencies from the Control Room when a user with Attended Bot Runner license logs in to the Enterprise Client. Additionally, the Parent Task option allows a user with Attended Bot Runner license to automatically update parent Task Bots and associated dependencies during run time. See Automatically update Task Bots
To access the upload or download feature select a file and right click, or select a file and click upload or download in the menu.
Use the Export to CSV option to export the dependent files list in the CSV format when you upload or download a Task Bot with dependent files to or from the Automation Anywhere Control Room repository.

VCS enabled upload and download
When Version Control Service (VCS) is enabled, upload or download bots and any related dependencies, such as other Task Bots, MetaBots, IQ Bots, and other related dependencies. This simplifies the process of uploading and downloading Task Bots to Control Room, eliminating the need to upload dependencies separately.
-
To upload a Master Bot, you must checkout the file.
- All bots must have a unique name regardless of which user uploads the bot.
- The task dependency scanner and Uploading - Pending Changes or Files works for files that are new, checked-out, and eligible for upload.
- When VCS is enabled, you can download all the tasks and dependencies.
