Cloud Studio Project Lifecycle

How to Design a Project in the Cloud Studio

The SAP Intelligent RPA Cloud Studio offers a low-code / no-code paradigm for designing bots and automating existing applications. The simple-to-use bot building capabilities offered in the Cloud Studio allow expert developers as well as business users to build and edit cloud projects without writing a line of code.

With the low-code approach, users with development skills can build and run bots, and can reuse JavaScript hand-coding knowledge. With a no-code approach, users are guided through an intuitive interface with a simple workflow design.

No Change of Deployment in the Cloud Studio

The output of a project is still a package. Transitioning your projects from the Desktop Studio to the Cloud Studio only changes the design phase. Through the Cloud Studio you can create a package which will be deployed later on. You find the generated package in the Packages tab within the Cloud Factory. No additional changes are required.

Environment variables are a bit different in Cloud Studio packages. The difference with the environment variables from the Desktop Studio is that you can’t create a Cloud Studio variable in the environment. It will be created automatically when you publish a Cloud Studio package. For more information, see Environment Variables from the Cloud Studio.
