Hello everyone,I’m Darshan Hiranandani, and I’m working on a project where I need to extract data from scanned Arabic documents using Document Automation (DA). While I know that DA can handle Arabic text extraction, I’m now looking into whether it can also identify visual elements like departmental stamps and signatures.Specifically, I need to:Confirm whether the document contains a departmental stamp. Verify if the document is signed by the appropriate authority.While DA is great for text extraction, I’m wondering if it also has the capability to visually detect stamps and signatures, or if this would require additional tools or a different approach.Has anyone tackled a similar problem? Any suggestions on how to handle this, or what tools to use in conjunction with DA for stamp and signature recognition, would be really helpful!Thanks in advance for your insights!Best regards,Darshan

Is there a way to use the Debugging tool like the “Run from here...” command, but through mid point of code? I would like to use the ‘Step over’ function but always have to run my code from beginning.My current way around it is; to copy my line of code (e.g. say middle part) to the beginning of the bot to then use the debugging tool to see that part run.

Hi Friends,Can any body please tell, How to  get/display/retrive  linkedhashmap values ?In other word, Can we cast linkedhasmapvalues in String format ?

If a bot deployment fails, I want to be notified via email immediately - I do not always have my control room up. I have just now turned on all CR notification settings and I turned on the Email Reports setting. I have read in the Notification articles that some Automation events will instantly notify me, but it is not clear if the email itself will send instantly. Will EMAILS be sent instantly after a deployment failure, or are the notifications only instant if you are logged into the control room?

The recent document automation bootcamp series provides this link https://apeople.automationanywhere.com/s/?language=en_US as a place to download the document classifier packages, but I do not see the downloads anywhere, not even in the “downloads” link.Can anybody point me in the right direction for downloading this package to my control room?Thank you.

This may be due to the following reason: class com.automationanywhere.botcommand.data.impl.StringValue cannot be cast to class com.automationanywhere.botcommand.data.impl.WindowValue (com.automationanywhere.botcommand.data.impl.StringValue and com.automationanywhere.botcommand.data.impl.WindowValue are in unnamed module of loader java.net.URLClassLoader @65c2ef49)To continue, edit the bot and fix the error. Then, try again. If you continue to see this message, please contact your system administrator.Code: bot.execution.error

Basically my ERP generates a document page in new tab with dynamic title. URL of this page always remain same but title changes. Initially I tried to explore if I can track page using URL instead of Title however no luck. There is no pattern in window title. I tried to put wild card in title expecting window will be captured using URL, however no luck as it was capturing any random window ignoring URLI need to setup automation to click download button to download pdf document. So I am trying to set title of the page to fixed name by using Currently Active Window so that I can play with fixed title page. Also I need this title change so that I can close all open document windows. However, window set title is also not working. Any help will be appreciated! 

I need another set of eyes on this; hoping it is just something stupid simple I am not thinking of. I have to pull data from a 3rd party source through their API. This is a multi-step process following the path below:Obtain Access Token Obtain Location URL Obtain requested dataFirst, I obtain the access token, pretty standard.I then have to send a request for the specific patient info (medical procedure). The parameters are things like patient.FirstName, patient.LastName, startDate, endDate, DOB.The return headers from this second call includes a Location field formatted in a URL with a session ID. It looks similar to this:  https://api.company.com/company/v2/service-reviews?sessionId=1234567890987654321That Location is the source of the third call, and returns the require

Hi everyone, I hope you’re doing well.I am automating an Excel file using Automation Anywhere (AA). During the process, the bot is configured to apply a custom cell format dd/mm/yyyy. For example, if the date entered is 10/30/2024, it is correctly formatted in the cell.However, after the bot execution is complete and I open the file manually, an issue arises: the leading zero disappears in some dates. For instance, the date that should be formatted as 10/03/2024 appears in the cell as 1/3/224.It’s important to note that this issue only occurs in one specific worksheet. The other four worksheets in the file retain the correct format and data entered.Could anyone help me identify the cause of this issue and how to resolve it? I’d really appreciate any guidance or suggestions.Thank you very much in advance for your help!

Hi everyone, I have created a bot that retrieves e-mails with the Microsoft Graph API. However, the result must be properly encoded using unicode. For example the letter “è” is U+00E8 and if I don’t correct it, the word “règlement” appears as “ru00e8glement“I have used the javascript component, to run this function : function decodeUnicode(str) {    return str.replace(/\\u[\dA-F]{4}/gi, function(match) {        return String.fromCharCode(parseInt(match.replace(/\\u/g, ''), 16));    });} However, it is particularly slow.If I run this script on a batch of 100 e-mails, it takes roughly two minutes. In my opinion, it is not an acceptable duration. Is there a way to optimize that ?
