Bots

  • Updated

Bots are the objects you create and configure to automate data processes within Openprise. With bots, you can configure the frequency and start date/time of a set of data processes and let Openprise automate it without human intervention. The actions available for bots include:

  • purging data sources
  • importing data sources
  • purging jobs
  • running jobs
  • adding a wait step

Note: Bot times are set in UTC. 

To access Bots, navigate to Automation -> Bots
