I have an automation that connects to an excel file as a DB to retrieve data from that file. The automation runs fine on my Dev environment but when I moved it to one of our production machine I get the below error message when it enters that task. Error Message : [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified

Hey all! I would like to ask how to remove screenshot from recorder preview. Sometimes I use recorder to capture element, but it is not capturing the one I want. Then I fine tune object properties to make sure it identifies my desired element, but screenshot is still showing previous one I captured initially.Let's clarify with following example: for web application, checkbox that is placed within div element, I hover over checkbox but recorder identifies div and in screenshot preview it is showing red outline around div.This is just annoyance and solution would be to re-capture element , but there are rare cases when I am unable to select the one I want. In below screenshot I had to make label element invisible so I can capture checkbox which was untargetable otherwise. This preview is not showing element in context and I would rather have no screenshot than misleading one.Thanks in advance! 

Can a bot be renamed in production? Thanks.

Hi,  It is written on Automation anywhere if the processes are completed or failed. At this point, is there a notification system for failed processes? thanks, best regards



Why Bot status is Queued in In Activity Menu --> In Progress??It is affect upcoming Bot Execution. 

Hey all!  I noticed that only Google Chrome appears on the list called "Browser" when using Recorder. Interestingly all other browsers I've launched - Edge, Internet Explorer and Firefox - do appear, but on the list called "Application". It is interesting, since other people from my team see similar thing. Is AA considering only Chrome to be worthy of being called web browser 😉 ? My recorder package version is 2.4.0-20211118-080716 

what is the best thing to do if the client forgot their credentials in Apeople.. what would be the correct recommendation for this,

Runs JavaScript in a web page (Chrome only) To run JavaScript in iFrame, use Recorder package 2.5.0 or above (Chrome only)Required bot agent version: 21.128 or above  Only chrome is supported until version 24,When will Edge be supported?

I have a problem when i try to use Open Excel advanced

Hi. I am new to this platform. Can somebody explain why would we want to use a variable as an "input" type or an "output" type in a bot. An analogy would be appreciated.

What are the steps give into the mind when we are planning to migrate v11 to Automation Anywhere 360.Do we need to new Production VM or we can use same VM where Automation Anywhere v11 installed. ?

Hi,Am I missing something obvious, or is it a bug? I create logic.If at line 10 is checking if the object exists, if not, it should go to the next stage - if: Else if (I previously used Else, but it doesn't work as well))but it does not go to the next stage. Instead of moving to the next validation stage is, throwing an error that object does not exist, which is correct. That is why I used if logic here.Do you have any advice?

Hi, I am unable to locate any of the Windows I have open via the Browser- Close action. I was able to locate the Windows for the Browser - Open action. Is there any reason for this? What's the fix? See image attached below

Hi, i would like to know how to enable auto login in my device.

Automation Anywhere atmx file corrupt

As in v11, we had to give the mail server and port and we were able to send emails using dummy email ids. Want to know if same can be done in A360. I tried a couple of times but it is only working for email ids which exist in the organization exchange servers.

I've been facing lots of problem either within the bot itself or the automation anywhere, so rather than searching for the fix after meeting those problems i wanted to list all of it. Are there any links/place where Automation Anywhere lists all those common issue? i've been listing all the issue and fixes from the article so far but would be better if there are a more plausible way of doing it
