Hello all, Looking for advice on how best to proceed. When an unattended bot runner vm power cycles, what is the advised method to automate the 'trigger configuration successfully started' action which occurs when logging into the control room?

We have some bots triggered via emails. When a vm is power cycled, the control room needs to re-establish a session with the Outlook/email client. Currently, the only way to cause this is a manual login into the control room with the bot runner user. Can we automate this process so the unattended bot runner is fully 'self-healing'? We have automated logins into Windows in place, and automated startup of our Outlook client, we're just missing this one piece. Thank you all!

Bot built for Windows VDI ( Virtual desktop interface) says 'Client unavailable' after VDI restart.

Hi All, I have built a bot to run on a Windows VDI ( Virtual desktop interface). The bot runs perfectly fine, until I restart the VDI, in which case, I get an error saying 'Client is unavailable' when I try to run the bot.The only way to fix it is to recapture the VDI windows. Any suggestions on how I can fix this ? Thanks in advance for your help.

Is there a way to check if a user is running a bot or is free (bot runner license) via API?

Hello, I'd like to know if we can check via API if a bot runner user is currently running a bot or not. I have checked this link https://docs.automationanywhere.com/bundle/enterprise-v2019/page/enterprise-cloud/topics/control-room/control-room-api/cloud-orches-activity-list.html/p> We have tried it, but seems that we are only getting a response when the bot is running and not before.

What should be the hosting location of bot creator machines?

Hi, where should we host the bot creator machines? Is it mandatory for the bot creator machines to be in the same network as the control room and bot runner server? Or can we have bot creator machines outside this network? Since bot creators are used by people who build bots, they are very likely to use their own laptops to build bots but the control room and bot runner could be in their production environment (datacenter or cloud). What is the best practice, what is economical and what is the minimum mandated requirement by Automation Anywhere?

Does Bot Runner require an interactive session at all time. I was under the impression that at runtime the control room would login the user on the remote bot runner and run the bot. Right now if I have no user session on the server the bot fails.

I do have the device login credentials set for the bot runner user and I did not select the "Attest device credentials"I suspect that this is related to the following info "If auto-login fails, configure the Local Security Policy settings. For example, in Windows, select Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options. Enable the Interactive logon: Do not require CTRL+ALT+DEL option" but not sure. So this is working right now until the server gets re-cycled.Any help would be appreciated with this. Here is the error reported by the control room:com.automationanywhere.nodemanager.exception.UserLoginException: {"message":"User not logged into the machine.","details":"This may be due to multiple reasons.\n\n1. Check that your username and domain name is correct in the provided device login credentials.\n2. Login into the machine as that user before running the bot.\n3. Some other user may have logged into the machine.\n\n\

copy from one excel spreadsheet to another without overwrite

I have a simple bot that opens two spreadsheets and copies the information from one to the other. The issue is that it completely overwrites the information on the destination spreadsheet rather than just adding new data to it. How do I get AA to locate the last line of data and paste all new data after that without over writing what was already there?

Hi everyone I need some help.

So I have a excel file where Column AA is Reference No, AB is Commission Amt and AD is Customer name. Now for AA reference no U326165744, I have to make Column AB sum of (41.18+5.35+0) because there column AD Customer name (LARA) is same. Also for Reference U946536964 it should sum (10.44+0) based on Column AD SIGMA (not 0.52 coz its SIGMA2)How would we do that in AA?

How can we harden our internal bot runner which has to be visible from the cloud control room

I saw documentation on whitelisting ip and port for the control room but this applies to an on-prem deployment. I would like to know what port needs to be accessible for the bot runner to function and also what control room IP would require access to the bot runner. Thanks and any help appreciated on this.
