I am just curious if anyone has encountered this before. I am currently converting a bot from using standard Recorder actions to using the Browser Automation package. Everything works as expected with the exception of capturing data from a pop-up modal window.The screenshot shows the Recorder way of capturing the table in the dialog box. The bot then runs through each row in the table and, if it meets certain criteria, downloads the associated PDF. This method works well.With the Browser Automation package, however I cannot seem to capture any of the elements. I have attempted by the full XPath, the ID, and the CS Selector, but no joy. I can capture nothing in the dialog box, whether the full table (what I am after) or just the “3 documents sent.” text at the top; they all return null. As a test, in the console of the page I can do something like document.getElementById(<text ID>).textContent; and I get what I would expect. However doing the same in Browser Automation:Execute Jav

Currently all of our bots write to log files in a central location on a file share server. These logs contain information about what steps a bot has performed and are used for troubleshooting. Sometimes bots fail after hours because the file share server is getting patched and the bot cannot access the log file. I don’t want an entire process to fail because the bot couldn’t write to the log. I could put each log to file action in a try catch, but it would be tedious to update existing bots and make the code very long. Fifty lines of code would become two hundred.We’ve considered other options, but they come with their own challenges:Log to database - same patching problem would occur Log to the local device - we currently have 14 bot running devices and it would be difficult to track down individual logs In Catch, check the box for “On error, continue with next action” - this would only work if each write to log action was in a try catch block. Otherwise if there is an application err

Hello, I’m using A360 v28 and doing some testing with Azure Key Vault. I can fetch standard credentials without any issue but I can’t fetch auto-login credentials. I have followed the (not very comprehensive) guideline from this link but they are far from explanatory Would appreciate some help if you know how to do this, Thanks!

Hi,I need to add images from my local desktop to an excel file using automation anywhere. I tried to do this using the screen recorder and automating the clicks to insert an image, but this method is not very reliable because I am running this bot on a server that has a different version of excel than the one that I am building the bots on, therefore the UI does not align and the screen recorder does not work.I know that there exists a bot in the bot store that adds images from your local PC to an excel file, but this bot is also unreliable because you can not reliably resize the images without killing the image resolution and making the image unreadable.Does anyone know of any other alternate methods for adding an image file from your local PC to an excel file using AA?

Hello!I am pulling invoices from PeopleSoft and saving them to a file folder. I’m using a cell range on an Excel spreadsheet that the bot opens. I want to loop through the cell range and use the values in certain cells to input onto a PeopleSoft form and then save the file according to another cell value.So, let’s pretend that the Excel file is Docpull and that the cell range I want is C3 to N10. Once, I start my loop, I will go to PeopleSoft Vouchers and enter the value of N3 first in the loop, do some stuff, and when ready to save, I’m saving the file named from the cell value in C3. Then I iterate to the next row.Please help! Thanks! 🐺 

I’ve looked through the other forum posts about this issue. There’s no concreate fix for this. I’ve done a lot of the standard stuff, reboot VM, PC, uninstall/reinstall bot agent. Nothing works...kind of. The bot will run once, and then it will throw the error for a while before working again. What’s annoying is I can run a different bot no problem. Does anyone have something else for me to try to get the one bot to run (in succession) ?  

We have a new A360 on-prem control room installation and any attempt to deploy to a bot runner fails with a generic “deploy failed” message. Upon some investigation, the global cache isn’t getting populated and there is no files in %AppData%\Local\Automation Anywhere directory (resources or messaging) like on our other working on-prem instances.So far, I’ve tried adding/removing devices from the control room, which necessitates uninstalling and reinstalling the bot agent. The control room will show the device as connected as well. I don’t know exactly what control room log files would have the best info, but most of the ones I check don't have any error messages that look promising for diagnosing what’s going on.

Dear Community Members,We are currently experiencing significant delays when using the "Simulate Keystrokes" feature in AA360. The issue arises during the automation of an unattended bot to log into a system via a login page.Initially, the bot successfully logs in, but with a noticeable delay. However, when the bot attempts to log in for the second time, the login process fails, and we continue to experience the same delay. We have tried changing the package version, but the issue persists.Has anyone encountered this problem recently? If so, are there any known workarounds or solutions to address this issue?Thank you in advance for your assistance.Best regards,Shehan B.
