#automationanywhere #a360 #rpa #rpadeveloper

We frequently start tinkering with the Community Edition Control Room as we start our RPA journey with A360 to built awesome bots. When we finally get the enterprise control room, we end up having to recreate all of the use cases in the new control room, which is tedious job.

Follow the instructions below to transfer your bots from community to enterprise CR.

Community CR

Login to community CR
Navigate to the bot which you want to export
Capture content backend API call using Developer tools in any browser

Copy the content API call response

Enterprise CR

Lets switch to enterprise control room

Login to enterprise CR
Create a new bot with any command Ex: Message Box

Check-in the task bot

Export the bot and download the zip file to your local HDD

Extract the zip, go to Automation Anywhere\Bots\Dev folder and edit the file Enterprise_Bot using Notepad and delete the existing content.

Copy the previously collected response from community CR to this file and save it.
Rezip the main folder and then import it back to enterprise CR

Edit or view the bot, you will see the community bot details over here.
