Restructuring RPA Hub tables

  • Starting with the Utah release, the Robotic Process Automation (RPA) tables are restructured to an application file, so that changes that you make to these tables are captured in the update sets and can be moved seamlessly across environments. With this process, you don't have to re-create the data records in the targeted environment.

    The table architecture that supports the RPA Hub application has been restructured to extend the Application file (sys_metadata). This action automatically captures all the data into the update sets.

    If you are upgrading from Tokyo or older to Zurich, the bot process definitions change to the new structure, that is the bot process configuration.

    The following diagram shows the tables of RPA Hub before restructuring.
