Hello, Currently trying to automate line selection in ME22N. This doesn’t appear to be possible, outside of a VB Script running SAP. This isn’t ideal, so I wanted to see if this community had any other items?   

I need to create an automation anywhere bot to read bounced emails and extract the original mail subject and recipient from the email body.But the ------------ Forwarded email---------- section is not captured in the email bodyWhat can I do to sort this? The process I used is mentioned below but the forwarded message section was not displayed in the message Connect Email action - using imapLoop action - Read email - assigned to a dictionary variableMessage action - display message was set to $EmailDetails{emailMessage}$ 

I am experimenting with triggers, specifically the file created trigger, and I am having trouble getting the trigger to work. I am working in the development environment and have checked out the bot, but nothing happens when I create a folder in the specified location. I can only make the trigger happen when I manually go into the bot and click “Run with trigger”.I would like for this bot to be triggered without being manually told to listen. Also, I was told that I would need to sign into AA for this to work. Is there a way to have triggers fire without signing into AA first? Our bot runner devices are reset occasionally and I don’t want to have to remember to sign them back so that the triggers will fire.Thank you

Hi! When filtering multiple times for each keyword in a spreadsheet, is it better to use the Excel Advanced package or a dictionary? I first used the dictionary package, but it seems impractical with over 100 keywords. Any suggestions for a better approach?

We have OKTA / SSO configured. And works well. I’m trying to log in as another enabled internal Automation Anywhere service account user. Is it possible to log in without SSO? Bypass SSO and provide username and password for an internal account?Or is there a way to generate an API Key for that service account user without logging in as them? I’m trying to set up and account strictly for API access to Queues, WorkItems, etc… And don’t want it tied to a Developer or Admin account.

I wanted to show a excel file to user in a FORM  way , and this file will be a dynamic location, does anyone know how to solve this.

Hi, I'm trying to deploy bots with input parameters using Automation Anywhere API. I've successfully managed to pass string, number and boolean variables to the bot, but I can't seem to figure out what is the correct json syntax to pass dictionaries, list or datetime variables. I've looked for it in the swagger (https://dev-damantia.my.automationanywhere.digital/swagger/) but can't find information about it I'm using the Postman collection provided by @MICAH SMITH​  in this video https://youtu.be/UZJ68r64oxA Here is what I'v tried so far:-List:{  "fileId": *****, //id of the bot to execute  "runAsUserIds": [    *** //id(s) of the user account to run the bot - must have default device unless specified below  ],  "poolIds": [],  "overrideDefaultDevice": false,  "callbackInfo": {    "url": "https://callbackserver.com/storeBotExecutionStatus", //Callback URL - not required, but can be used - c

Any prerequisites for AA Certified Advanced RPA Professional ?

Can someone help me with the logic of how to identify the second monday of every month in AA

Hello, I've been testing out the Document Automation solution and I'm having a hard time handling numbers that have the negative symbol at the end. The learning instance is not able to categories the data type as “Accounting”, only as a “Number”, thus showing a format error when the negative is at the end.  I tried using the gen AI prompting to move the symbol or recognize the number as a negative. The prompt I used was provided by someone from AA but unfortunately it has not worked. I tried using different locale number formatting. I tried using different field and document rules. Use: Handling Remittance AdviceDocument Type: User Defined (Gen AI driven data extraction) Could someone please help me find a work around for this as all these documents come to validation, taking up a lot of time. Thank you very much. See the image below for an example.   

As part of automation I create 6 excel files in the working folder. I delete the files from the working folder before every run. This works 90% of time but 10% of time the bot fails at the delete step.There are no files in the folder in the folder. I rerun the bot and I get the same error until I restart the machine. I have created a test bot to show the steps.Error : File:com.automationanywhere.botcommand.exception.BotCommandException: Unable to delete the file(s) 'C:\Automation Anywhere\Management Reporting and Planning\Working Folder\~$EmpManagerMapping_022024.xlsx' because access is denied. - 16 

I want to clean data in a csv file by opening it in excel and using replace to remove known extraneous characters. I have tried:andHowever, both just resize the excel window? 

Hi Team,I got an error after installation and I am unable to open WebCR,below is the error logs,___________________________________________________________________________________com.automationanywhere.durablemessaging.DurableMessageTransactionalPublisher2 - {} - lambda$startPublishersTask$5(DurableMessageTransactionalPublisher2.java:503) - startPublishersTask Error: org.springframework.transaction.CannotCreateTransactionException: Could not open Hibernate Session for transaction; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: EntityManagerFactory is closed    at org.springframework.orm.hibernate5.HibernateTransactionManager.doBegin(HibernateTransactionManager.java:600) ~[kernel.jar:?]    at org.springframework.transaction.support.AbstractPlatformTransactionManager.startTransaction(AbstractPlatformTransactionManager.java:400) ~[kernel.jar:?]    at org.springframework.transaction.support.AbstractPlatformTransactionManager.getTransaction(AbstractPlatformTransactionManager.java:373)

Hi does anyone have any good references or learning instances that they can recommend for training DA to handle complex data tables?I currently have a dataset of invoices that DA is having difficulty identifying and I would appreciate if someone could point me towards a good place to learn more about training a DA learning instance to handle specific types of tables.

I am facing an issue while trying to register a new device in Automation Anywhere. The platform only allows one registered device at a time, but when I attempt to delete the existing device, I get the following error message:"Cannot delete device, as it is part of an active bot deployment. If the problem persists, contact your system administrator."In the In Progress Activity section, I also see a bot named challengeRPA marked as pending execution, even though it has already been deleted. When I try to interact with it, I receive this error:Error: File not found.Code: repository.exception.file.notfoundBecause of this, I am unable to delete the existing device or register a new one. Has anyone encountered a similar issue? Any guidance on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.Any suggestions or troubleshooting steps would be really helpful!

Good morning,I have a problem with one of the bots I created. The thing is that this bot only runs through Email Trigger. However, one of the processes it does is delete a file, but it cannot delete it because it requests administrator privileges and reports an error. When I run it manually from the Control Room with administrator privileges, it works correctly. How can I make the Trigger run with administrator privileges?I appreciate the support provided.

My bots have not been running for the past 2 weeks and the top scheduled bot keeps running and not finishing. I am still new to Automation Anywhere. Please advise as users are impatient now. I have restarted the BOT runners servers and the control room server but still problem persists. I even stopped the running bot and the next one also hangs and keeps running. I restarted all the BOT services that are set to automatic but still no change.

Hello,Does anyone else believe that data tables should be able to be put inside a list or dictionary?I think data tables need a lot more functionality however being able to put them in a list is a start. Thank you!

Hi team,I am trying to update an XML node in a control room XML file:<bot>  <name></name>   <memo></memo> </bot>I see the changes while the bot is running but none are saved to the actual XML file once the bot has completed its tasks.Here is my script 

Hi Team,One of my Colleague is getting an error which interrupts the bot testing. Attached the screenshot for reference. How do we resolve the issue. The user did not cancel the bot run or abort it.I have tried the below waysRestarting the Bot Agent services - didnt solve the issue Clearing the Global Cache - didnt solve the issue Re installation of the bot agent - we have currently done that and we are monitoring it.Kindly let me know if there are any possible solutions to resolve the issue.  

I am haveing a problem I am trying to export a report from Microsoft Power BI.  I am confused because in development all of the things that I have tried (listed Below) all work when my screen is up.  However when I publish it and do not watch the bot all of them fail.  I have included the error message corresponding to each methodStandard capture (I have also tailered the properties down to just the DOMXpath where the button is.) Unable to find BUTTON. Search Criteria did not match. AI Sense Capture (including recording an anchor). Control not found. Mouse Click (Using both application, browser, and screen) No error because the button is never pressed so the wait condition that is looking for the file never comes true so the bot just keeps running. I have attached a picture of the button that I am trying to press. There are some redactions.Any help the community can provide would be great.  Thanks. Respectfully Requested,Chris Delaney

Hi everyone, I am trying to get the number of filtered rows in Excel Advanced, is there an easy way to do so ?It seems to me that the action “Get number of rows” will return the number of unfiltered rows.
