3689176 - Business ByDesign - Migration from SAP Intelligent RPA to SAP Build Process Automation

Symptom

In upcoming releases, we will introduce a streamlined process to upgrade an existing Intelligent RPA tenant into a Build Process Automation tenant with just a few steps. This means you won’t need to export and import projects between tenants, nor redeploy, create triggers, register agents, and perform other manual tasks.

This KBA is to clarify additional queries based on the blog Business ByDesign - Migration from SAP Intelligent RPA to SAP Build Process Automation

Environment

SAP Business byDesign

Resolution

Below are questions with relevant answers,

Are there any prerequisites, such as additional BTP subscriptions, required for migration?
