Technology
Automation Anywhere follows a Dispersed Architecture where Centralized Management is accomplished via Automation Anywhere’ Control Room. The three main components are Control Room, Bot Creator and Bot Runner Control Room is a web server that basically controls the Automation Anywhere bots created by the Bot Creators. As Automation Anywhere focuses on Centralized Management, the Control Room offers features such as
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 two types of Licenses available in Automation Anywhere.
? Dev License: If you have this license, then you can create, edit and run a bot.
? Run License: If you have this license, then you will not have any edit access but you can only run a bot.
