Hello guys,

Someone know if is it possible? Use the commands of automate for create a new process?

I tried to search in the library of commands line but i did not found any results

There's no direct command line command to achieve this in Blue Prism. 

The only way I could think of achieving this would be as follows (note that this method isn't supported by Blue Prism):

• Have a process "template" exported as an XML file 
• Generate a new GUID (you could do so from a batch file https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4313422/generate-guid-in-windows-with-batch-file)
• Embed that new GUID into the XML file (replacing the previous GUID)
• Do a find/replace on the name of the process to rename it
• Import the "new" process using the command line command:

AutomateC /import "C:\xxxx\yyyy\template.xml"

Generally, Blue Prism does not recommend editing the underlying process/object files and you do so at your own risk.  But this is one potential way to do achieve what you are asking.

Another alternative to automate creation of a new process that is not related to the CLI, would be to build a VBO that interacts with the Blue Prism user interface itself. This would be a starting point to building out this object: https://github.com/blue-prism/blue-prism-utility
