Product Information
Free Trial for SAP Intelligent Robotic Process Automation (RPA)
*Check out this updated blog post about onboarding the SAP BTP Trial for SAP Intelligent RPA*
Long awaited, now available!
We are happy to start the year 2020 with announcing that there is a free trial for SAP Intelligent RPA!
Now, you have the chance to try automating your own scenarios in a free trial mode of the solution.
The trial mode is available on these components:
| Desktop Studio |  |
| Desktop Agent |  |
| Cloud Factory / Studio |  |
There are some quotas and limitations for the SAP Intelligent RPA trial described in SAP Note 2870643.
Take note that the trial is limited to data centers: AWS EU10 and AWS US10.
For specifications and a detailed documentation about the trial mode, also check the product documentation on SAP Help Portal.
Follow these steps to get started:
- Get your SAP BTP trial account.
2. Follow the steps to get a global account and subaccount in the BTP trial landscape.
3. Subscribe to the SAP Intelligent RPA tile.
Make sure to follow the substeps to
-
- Establish a trust configuration
- Configure and assign a role collection
Note: The easiest way in the trial environment is to assign all role templates to a single collection (this is not recommended in production environments!). You can do so by filtering on your SAP Intelligent RPA Application Identifier and selecting all roles to be added.
4. Follow this link to download the on-premise components: (scroll down to the bottom of the page)
Please download the latest available version. For SAP Intelligent RPA 2.0 and thus the usage of Cloud Studio, only the installation of the Desktop Agent component is required.
SAP Intelligent RPA on-premise components are available for MS Windows. For other operating systems, a Windows virtual machine is required.
Please also ensure that the browser extension is running in your web browser. See Configuring Web Browser.
5. Please follow these steps to establish a connection between your Desktop Agent and the SAP Intelligent RPA Cloud Factory: Desktop Agent Tenant Registration.
The URL of your SAP Intelligent Robotic Process Automation Factory Trial tenant looks like this: https://xxxxxxxxtrial.app.irpa-trial.cfapps.eu10.hana.ondemand.com/.
6. Done! Now, you can start building your bots keeping in mind the limitations and quotas of the SAP Intelligent RPA free trial that are described in SAP Note 2870643.

Wow. The Long wait is over. Thanks for enabling our hands to get dirty.. 🙂
Thank you for sharing.
Hi Lena,
Thank you for the information and details
It really helps to demonstrate to the customer to implement the RPA in a real-time scenario...
Hi Lena
That a great news. However I am getting insufficient resource error.
Hi Rahul,
you need to create the IRPA Administrator role and associate it with your account.
Take a look into 2802932 - "Factory could not be loaded insufficient_scope: Insufficient scope for this resource" for the steps.
Best,
Maiara
Hi Lena,
Thank you very much for the blog. However, I also get the "insufficient resource error" when I start the application in my trial account CP. Moreover, I can not download the on-premise components due to the following error :
An error occurred while processing your request.
Reference #30.8c6ddead.1578494282.6cf67efb
Thank you in advance for your feedback.
BR,
Cédric
Hi,
For the "“insufficient resource" error message when accessing Cloud Factory, you have to create the "IRPA Administrator" role and to associate it with your account.
Finally !!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is really a much needed thing !!! @lena.grothaus
Awesome. Thanks for enabling me to learn this with a trial version.
Thanks so much Lena
According to Rahul and Cedrid, I had similar issue when I tried to enter RPA environment. I put an image that reflects the situation.
Any help or commentary from whichever will be good received.

Hi,
It seems this issue is due to the fact that the version of the package you're trying to import is too old. There is a Note about it :

Hi Lena
Thanks for sharing this.
I am facing some issue in executing PO_Confirmation bot. After i have installed the desktop agent and setup my Cloud Factory account, I imported the PO_confirmation package for OP and deployed it.
After i had setup the trigger as Attendent_02 and also in the desktop agent selected the interactive mode still i do not get the project in the agent to start. Please help to provide clues to troubleshoot the issue. Am I missing some step here.
warm regards,
Virendar Kaushal
Hi,
Did you correctly register your agent on the Factory ? Do you see your agent in Idle state in the Monitoring > Agent tab in the Factory ?

I am having the same issue. Kindly help me to resolve it.

Hi Lena,
How about Mac OS? is RPA Agent & Studio available for Mac OS?
No, it's not unfortunately. You have to use a Windows VM.
Any update on this? Is this now available for Mac?
Hello,
Has anyone come across the following error on their desktop agent?
"Registration Failed" The factory calendar could not register the user"
I have no agents available showing on the factory cloud, so I think there is some issue because of this - when I try to debug a simple workflow (i.e a simple pop up) I get an error in the debug as well (although its not very detailed).
