The system downloads the bot package or Digital Worker from the Bot Store, extracts the files from the package, and copies the files into the relevant folders. The system creates a folder with the same name as that of the downloaded bot or Digital Worker within the
Bot Store
folder. It also creates other relevant folders and copies the dependent bots and other files in those folders.Note: If the downloaded bots or Digital Workers contain a MetaBot, that MetaBot is stored in theMy MetaBots
folder.You can view the progress of the bot being downloaded from the In progress activity page. See Monitor in progress activity.Note:The system does not display an error message if the download fails. The reason for why the download failed is available on the Audit log page.
If the bot or Digital Worker you have downloaded from the Bot Store uses any credential variables, these variables are not created in the Credential Vault.An unprotected bot downloaded through the Bot Store can have a duplicate GUID. Control Room will create a new unique GUID for the downloaded bot to avoid data conflict in the Bot Insight dashboard.
