Migration from Automation 360 On-Premises to Cloud - Move your data and automations from the On-Premises Control Room to the Cloud to use a Cloud -native architecture.

Automation 360

Move your data and automations from the On-Premises Control Room to the Cloud to use a Cloud-native architecture.

Requirements

  • Obtain a Cloud license for every On-Premises Control Room instance that you want to migrate to Cloud. Work with the Automation Anywhere sales, Customer Success Manager (CSM), and partner teams to obtain the required licenses.
    Note: You can move data from multiple On-Premises Control Room instances to one or more Cloud Control Room instances. There is no restriction that you can only move data from a single On-Premises Control Room instance to a single Cloud Control Room. You can migrate data as needed.
  • Ensure that you have the correct number of licenses in your Cloud Control Room for executing automations from your Cloud.
  • Back up your data before migration. For more details, see Integrating Control Room with Git repositories.

Choose your method

Use one of the following procedures to migrate from your On-Premises Control Room instance to your Cloud Control Room instance:

Post-requisite tasks

After the migration is complete, perform the following steps:

  1. Open firewall rules to allow connectivity between the Cloud Control Room and the On-Premises Bot Runners.

    See: Bot Agent communication with Control Room.

  2. Test the migrated bots in the Cloud Control Room. Ensure that the bots are working as they were in your On-Premises Control Room.
  3. Deregister the Bot Runners from the On-Premises Control Room and register them to the Cloud Control Room.
  4. Decommission the On-Premises Control Room after you confirm that the Cloud Control Room can manage the workload.
  5. Repeat these tasks for all your On-Premises Control Room instances.

Additional considerations

Note:
  • You can also use these instructions to move data between Cloud Control Room instances.
  • If your current Control Room instance and account is On-Premises and is using file-licensing, convert your licenses to Cloud-licensing. See the answer to the question How do I convert customer licenses from file licensing to Cloud licensing? from the Converting from file licensing to Cloud licensing page.
