Hello,

I am using Automation Anywhere Community Edition, but my bot is stuck at "Current action: Connecting to device" and does not proceed.

Actions taken so far:

  • Restarted and reinstalled the Bot Agent

  • Attempted to re-register the device from the Control Room but received the error:
    "System allows only a single device to be registered. If you need to replace your existing device you should delete it first. If the problem persists, please contact your system administrator. Code: devicemanagement.register.validation.single.device"

  • Tried deleting the device from https://rpademo.automationanywhere.com/deletedevice.php but got this error:
    "Your device should be deleted or at least reset. You may have to manually log back in and select Manage > Devices and delete the device. Once deleted, reconnect the bot agent and it should work again."

  • Could not find the GlobalCache folder to clear it

Since this is Community Edition, detailed logs cannot be checked.

I referred to the following community posts and tried the suggested solutions, but the issue remains unresolved:

  • My bot got stuck, Status: Pending Execution

  • Bot stuck in pending execution

  • Bot stuck "connecting to device" while in queue

Any advice on effective solutions or correct device deletion/reset methods would be appreciated.

Thank you.

@K 9963 Keep trying with the rpademo link and manually trying to delete the device. It will eventually work but may take several attempts. 


Hi ​@K 9963,

 

Can you try the API call method mentioned in the below article for the same? You need to have an API platform like POSTMAN for this.

cResolved] Cannot delete device as it is part of active bot deployment in A360 | Community


Thank you very much for your guidance.
Thanks to ​@Aaron.Gleason , I was able to resolve the issue as described below.
Among the two radio buttons under "Function:" on the relevant page, "Reset and Delete" and "Reset only," I selected and executed the "Reset only" option.
As a result, the processes related to the device disappeared from "Activity" > "In progress activity," and afterwards, I successfully deleted the device by going to "Manage" > "Devices" again.
Furthermore, I completed re-registering the device without any issues, and it is now fully operational.
I also appreciate the clear explanations from ​@Padmakumar , which were very helpful.
