Unable to download child bot Compilation error

Hi all, I have a parent bot that is calling a child bot. Name of the child bot comes from a string variable. When I run it in attended mode, it works perfectly fine. When I run it in unattended mode on another VM, I’m getting error below: “An unexpected error occurred. Unable to download child bot 'repository:///Automation%20Anywhere/Bots/xxxxxx'. Compilation error attempting to compile child bot "xxxxxx". Please contact system administrator.” Do you know how this error can be fixed?Thank you and best regards

Display resolution for laptop, additional monitor and VM

Hi there,                I am using a laptop and then extending my display to an additional  monitor. I need to connect to VM to access control room for bot building. At the moment I don't have a runner machine. I would like to know what resolution and scaling should I set for my laptop, monitor and VM machine?Should laptop, monitor and VM  have the same resolution and scaling? I am leaning towards 1920 * 1080 and 100% scaling for the 3. As a team all other developers can also use the same resolution to avoids issues with the capture command.

Problem with running a Parent bot in Debug mode in Enterprise version

Hello everyone,I have the following problem and I started thinking , that this is a bug of the Enterprise edition: I have created а Parent bot In the Parent bot I have two child bots( variables are mapped and when I’m running only these two child bots there is no problem) I want to run one more child bot in the Parent bot , but the actions are not developed yet( step 17 from the picture) When I’m running the Parent bot through the Debug mode and want to type any letter in the variables search box  , my keyboard stops working or not working as normal, when I'm scrolling my mouse the desktop zooms in and out  and most of the time is needed to restart the computer. It is necessary to run the Parent bot through the Debug mode in order to develop next steps(Step 17) and when they will be ready will be added in the third child bot. I cannot run separately Step 17 , because there are dependencies with the first two child bots. The chache memory is already cleared and I’ve checked the Ram memo

sub task not getting executing in higher env

I recently migrated my bot from v11 to A360 and it's working fine in the development environment, but when I run it in the test or higher environment, I am encountering a strange issue. The main task is not executing the first sub task and I am not getting any error message. Additionally, some variables are being reassigned as blank after the run task command.I have tried checking for syntax errors and logical issues in the code, and I have also verified that all necessary dependencies and modules are properly installed and configured. However, I am still having trouble resolving this issue.If anyone has any idea of what might be causing this or has encountered a similar problem before, I would greatly appreciate any help or suggestions you can offer.Thanks in advance for your assistance!

Issues with Recorder : Capture Action. I need to record some objects on browser for my bot and it gets stuck

It keeps going on as "Deploying to your computer" and does not execute. Previously when it finished running it showed - ""An unexpected problem occurred If the problem persists, please contact your system administrator."I have tried the suggested solutions : Reinstalling the bot agent and connecting to my local device again Restart AA from Task Manager > Services Reenable the plugin. Even uninstalled and installed it again Preupload the Packages - Made sure to select the Recorder in that Kindly help me with issue since, it is a critical project I am working upon.

JWT Package: Optional header parameters

I’m using the awesome JSON Web Token Package to generate a JWT. My case includes optional header parameters, specifically the “x5t” parameter which must be included in the header. However the Private Claims parameter only adds claims to the payload section. Is there a way to include these Reserved Header Parameters in the package?

Is restoring from git option valid for a brand new A360 Control Room? (i.e. restoring previous bots and dependencies to a new Control Room)

Hello,I’m performing a brand new installation of a A360 (on-prem) environment. I would like to know if I can use “Restore from git” option pointing to an old A360 remote Git Repo (Azure Devops) in order to restore the old Control Room’s bot and dependencies in this new one and avoid exporting/importing all bots

Checking fields for null value

Hello,What is the easiest way to have a bot check to see if a field on a website is populated? I need to put logic in the bot I am doing that if a field is null (i.e. blank) to populate it with a period, but to leave it alone if it is already populated with text.Thanks,Jason Harper

How to handle subtasks/child bots between multiple bot developers?

Hi. We are currently switching from 11.3.4 to A2019. Previously we had common tasks such as logging to sql db among others in specialized subtasks, which we called on demand from many other bots.So I migrated this bot and uploaded it to the public folder Public\Bots\Common\Logger.atmx.Now, I would like to create a new bot, that calls this Logger subtask. But since its in the public folder I cannot. The option in the run task package for Control Room file only shows the public folders, not the files in them. So I can't select the Logger. If I check out the Logger my colleagues cant acces the file anymore. What am I missing?Any advise is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
