Automate Export/Import

se61qoku — Thu, 07 Jul 2022 08:51:00 GMT

We have a huge amount of processes and objects which we have to export and import from one to another environment in our BP on prem solution. Is there another way to automate this other than developing a frontend automation? I am thinking of sth like a CLI which is used for CICD pipelines.

Thank you for any ideas!

@se61qoku

Have you explored the AutomateC command line utility that you can use for this purpose

https://bpdocs.blueprism.com/bp-6-10/en-us/helpCommandLine.htm?Highlight=automatec

There is also a asset on DX that shows how deployments can be done using Jenkins

Thank you @Shashank Kumar !

I tried to export a process with this command:

AutomateC /export MasterProcess_Test /user admin mypw

But I get an error that access to this local path is denied.

1. Since the path is set by default and I could not find anything in the docs what is the command for specifying the export path?

2. Any idea how to fix this?

Hi,
As the process is exported in the current folder, you can change your current folder to where you have read/write permissions
You can try this:

cd c:\temp
"C:\Program Files\Blue Prism Limited\Blue Prism Automate\AutomateC" /export MasterProcess_test /user #### ####
