Periodic package updates - FAQ

Review the FAQ to understand details on the periodic package updates.

What are these package updates?
These updates include enhancements and fixes to packages that we want our customers to get early access to. They are delivered in the form of package-only updates in between Automation 360 releases.
How often will such package updates be available?
These package updates will be delivered periodically, in the middle of specific months (dates might vary to avoid weekends or holidays).
Do I need to prepare anything in advance of receiving these package updates?
No. These updates do not require a maintenance window for the Control Room.
How will I know when a new version is made available?
We will post in-app notifications a few days before the new package versions are made available.
Will these package updates also be available in the main Automation 360 releases?
Yes, these package updates will be made available in subsequent Automation 360 releases.
I have an On-Premises deployment and I don’t have auto-update enabled for packages. Can I get these package updates?
Yes, you can manually upload the packages to the Control Room, and choose whether to enable them and set them as the default, or only enable them but not set them as the default.
Are these packages tested/validated like those available with main releases?
Customer success and trust continue to be our #1 priority at Automation Anywhere. Our Quality Assurance teams will certify the updated packages for compatibility with the minimum Control Room and Bot Agent versions defined.
For the minimum compatible Control Room and Bot Agent version defined for each package, see Periodic package updates - summary list.
How do I know if these packages are compatible with my Control Room?
Each package is associated with a minimum Control Room version that it is compatible with. For the minimum compatible Control Room version for each package, see Periodic package updates - summary list.
If I run into any issues with the new package version, what should I do?
These package updates are the same as those available with the main releases. So follow the same Support process in case you face any issues.
