Do I need to add a timed delay when running SAP reports due to the changing run times, or will the bot just "know" when the report is finished and its time to export to excel?

How to construct a decent looking email body, that kind of mimics a HTML response, when using ReplyAll function in the Outlook metabot DLL in A360? I am writing up the email body into a string variable and using that variable as a parameter in the ReplyAll DLL function. Because the string variable does not accommodate HTML text, the reply email shows the entire email body in a single line.   

how i generate file METADATA XML in Automation Anywhere CR 11.3.5

Hello this is for an attended job. I have a non-web based application that will bring up certain menus depending on what I click on. Once the menu comes up I then will click on one of the menu options and will go on to my next task.... My problem is that sometimes the menu options take a long time to generate depending on several factors outside of my control (slowness in server, slowness in application etc.) For now I have used delay statements and sometimes the delay statements end being too long or not long enough. Right now I make the delay time longer just so I am covered but in turn it takes my automation longer to run. (I have to run this process thousands of times) My question is what would be a better way to approach this?

Hello, I used the AA360 CE the last Couple of days. Everything seems to be fine. Than occasionally the bot was hanging in the window („Deploying to your Computer“) after clicking „run“.The Controlroom is perfectly connected to the local device. Today I can‘t run the bot at all. It stuck in the Screen (see Screenshot) It seems after time the Community Edition starts to slow down. Pretty unfortunate, because we can’t continue the work which we want to present our CEO soon.  Are they any known issues or advices? We already reinstalled everything and also canceld and started the AA Bot Agent Service in windows services multiple times without success  Kind regardsPhilipp

It was giving this error on A360, and was perfectly running on A11, but it started to give error on A11 too. When the bot fills the places(textboxes) and click on Save, it throws error. When the bot fills the places, and I click on Save, it throws same error When I fill the places manually, and click on Save, it works perfectly..

In the following situation, the number variable when set to 2.28 is indeed 2.28 but when multiplying by 100 (specifically 2.28*100), the result is 227.999999999997. Then when converting to a string, the result is 227. This caused a serious issue with a production bot today.
