Import bots

You can import bots with their dependencies from one Control Room to another. The source environment can be Automation 360 Control Room, Enterprise 11, or Enterprise 10 Control Room instance.

先决条件

Ensure that the following rights are enabled to import bots:
- Import bots permission
- Create folder permission, if it is required
- Check-in to public workspace permission if you are importing to the public workspace
Ensure that the version of Control Room and packages in the source and target Control Room are same for export as well as import.
You must have a Bot Creator license to import bots either into the private workspace or public workspace.
You can import bots into the public workspace if you have the required permissions, regardless of your license.
To import the Enterprise 11 bots into your Automation 360 Control Room, consider the following additional requirements:

Review the guidelines before you import bots.

Guidelines for exporting and importing bots
To import bots from one Control Room to another, use the exported zip file (or aapkg file, in case of Enterprise 11 or Enterprise 10 bots). If the SMTP is configured, you will receive a link to download the zip or aapkg file on your configured email address. If SMTP is not configured, you can access the download link by navigating to Activity > Historical page.
注： You can import the Enterprise 11 bots (.aapkg file) with or without the dependent MetaBots only into the public workspace. If you are importing the file into the private workspace, ensure that the dependent MetaBots dependencies are included.

Click the Import bots option.

After the import is complete, based on your source environment, navigate to the corresponding repository to find and use the imported bot:
