Abstract
Multi-target libraries, projects, and activities for robotic process automation (RPA) are disclosed. Some embodiments multiple target platforms can be handled in the same project. The target platform(s) can be specified at the automation and/or activity level in order to provide the supported functionality for each. This may also allow previously built automations to be applied to new target frameworks without starting from scratch.
Claims26
A computing system, comprising:
- memory storing computer program instructions for a multi-target robotic process automation (RPA) designer application;
- and
- at least one processor configured to execute the computer program instructions, wherein the computer program instructions are configured to cause the at least one processor to:
- (a) configure an RPA project in accordance with a target platform configuration comprising a plurality of target platforms,
- (b) configure multiple versions of one or more activities for the respective target platform for the respective version, or
- (c) both (a) and (b), and
- generate a multi-target automation that implements an RPA workflow on the plurality of target platforms, wherein
- the RPA project comprises the RPA workflow, and
- the RPA workflow comprises a plurality of activities.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a computer program for a multi-target robotic process automation (RPA) designer application, wherein the computer program is configured to cause at least one processor to:
- configure an RPA project in accordance with a target platform configuration comprising a plurality of target platforms;
- and
- generate a multi-target automation that implements an RPA workflow on the plurality of target platforms, wherein
- the RPA project comprises the RPA workflow, and
- the RPA workflow comprises a plurality of activities.
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- configuring multiple versions of one or more activities for a respective target platform of a plurality of target platforms, by a multi-target robotic process automation (RPA) designer application;
- and
- generating a multi-target automation that implements an RPA workflow of the RPA project on the plurality of target platforms, by the multi-target RPA designer application, wherein
- the RPA project comprises the RPA workflow, and
- the RPA workflow comprises a plurality of activities.
