Solution to automatically update bot packages

​@Uzumaki First, ask yourself WHY you want to update the bot packages. When you update the bot packages, you need to retest all bots affected.

Second, your control room administrator already has the ability do to this.

 

Thanks for the info. We weren’t aware that our admin had a button to simply do it. 
You’re right, ensuring all of our bots work after a package update does add a layer of complexity. We will consider that, thank you.

​@Uzumaki No worries. Upgrading bots isn’t like upgrading Windows/macOS or putting the latest update on your Android/Apple phone. No new features will automatically be added to your bot by upgrading its packages.

The way our Control Room and Bot Agent work is that older packages used with older bots are retained on the Control Room. When an older bot runs, the older package is downloaded to the Bot Agent. This ensures the bots continue to run smoothly.

When upgrading, you add a variable to the equation. The change in package could (but rarely does) cause some issues with your older bot. Maybe a function it requires was deprecated and upgrading the package actually broke the functionality of the bot. That’s why you would have to test every bot affected. Honestly, that’s a lot of work for zero benefit.  😅

Noted. We just assumed that we need everything updated at all times. Thanks we will take this info in mind.
