Package SDK

Package SDK enables you in creating and uploading action packages to your Control Room.

The Automation Anywhere Package Development Kit provides detailed instructions for users to independently develop custom actions and upload the packages in their Control Room. The custom action are build in an IDE and are compiled to generate Java Archive (JAR) files. The JAR files are then uploaded to the Control Room which becomes available as actions under the Action Panel.

The Package SDK section includes sample codes and supporting files for Java developers to create and validate custom actions.
