Understanding the SPA service

SPA is a new SAP service that intends to combine two existing services, SAP Intelligent RPA and Workflow Management, to offer automation developers a full suite of tools in one place. Within the SPA service, we still have the option of creating either automation or a workflow or creating an end-to-end process. However, all these options are available under a single service now. If your license for SAP Intelligent RPA or Workflow Management is valid for more time, you can still keep using those services for that duration.

Our core concern is to help you transition from SAP Intelligent RPA to SPA. Therefore, we will touch upon only the relevant parts of the service. Let's see how SPA looks and how we can create automations using this new service.
