Before we learn Automation Anywhere, lets understand-
What is Automation?
Automation is a technique of making devices, a process or a system to operate
automatically.
There are four automation categories
1. Macro recorders
2. Application-level macro recorders
3. Business Process Automation
4. Robotic Process Automation
In this tutorial, you will learn

What is RPA?
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is software that can mimic the action of a
human user. It performs actions on a PC to automate business processes which are
highly repetitive and rule-based.
What is Automation Anywhere?

Automation Anywhere is one of the popular RPA vendors offering powerful & user-
friendly RPA capabilities to automate any complex tasks. It is one of the
"Revolutionary Technology" that changes the way the enterprise operates. This
tool combines conventional RPA with intellectual elements like natural language
understanding and reading any unstructured data.
Automation Anywhere allows organizations to automate the processes which are

performed by the humans. It is a Web-Based Management System which uses a
Control Room to run the Automated Tasks. Automation Anywhere tool can
automate ends to end business operations for companies.
Automation Anywhere Architecture

Automation Anywhere Architecture has 3 primary components
1. Control Room
2. Bot Creator
3. Bot Runner
Control room- is a web-based platform that controls the Automation Anywhere. In

other words, it's the Server that controls Automation Anywhere bots.
Apart from that the control room deal with
1. User management
2. Source control: code for the bots is managed by the control room. So, it
becomes easy to share the code across different systems.
3. Dashboard- It gives complete analytics/results of Automation Anywhere
bots. You can see how many bots are runs and how bot failed/passed etc. is
controlled.
4. License Management: The purchased licenses for Automation Anywhere are
configured in the Control Room.
There are 2 types of Licenses in Automation Anywhere
1. Dev License: If you got this license, you can create a bot, edit bot and run a
bot.
2. Run License: If you have this kind of license you can run the bot and, you will
not make any changes.
Bot Creator- Developers use Desktop based applications to create bots. Their dev
licenses are checked with that configured in the control room. On authentication,
the code of the bots they create is stored in the control room. Different developers
may create individual tasks/bots. These bots could be merged and executed at
once.
Bot Runner - The Bot Runner is the machine where you run the bot. You could have
multiple bots running in parallel. You only need the Run License to run the bots.
The bots report back the execution logs/pass/fail status back to the control room.
Other important components of Automation Anywhere
BOT insights
The tool shows statistic and display graphs to analyze the performance of every
bot in the system. Here, you can also calculate the time you have saved because of
the automation process.
Bot Farm
BotFarm is integrated with Automation Anywhere Enterprise. It allows you to

create multiple bots. Moreover, you can also give these bots on the rental basis.
BOT STORE
Bot Store is a first digital workforce marketplace. Here, you will get lots of pre-built
bots for every type of business automation.
Types of Automation Anywhere Bots
Task Bots
Task bots are bots which automate rule-based, repetitive task, in areas like
document administration, HR, claims management, IT services and more. This
leads to immediate improvement in productivity, error reduction, and cost saving.
Meta Bots
Meta bots are the automation building blocks. It is designed in such a way that with
application updates or changes you need to make minimal edits to the bot.
Changes automatically apply to any process utilizing that bot.
IQBOT
It is an advanced tool. It can learn on its own and perform a task according to it. IQ
Bot offers automation using the highly advanced cognitive technology. It works on
the concept to organize an unstructured data while improving its skills and
performance.
