HelloI am trying to connect Google Drive with Automation Anywhere. I attempted to set up the parameters but couldn't get it to work. I'm having trouble setting the parameters correctly. Can anyone help me with this?Additionally, I tried to create credentials using my Gmail and password and use them as the username file, but I'm still facing issues. Any guidance on how to properly set this up would be greatly appreciated.Thank you!

Issue auto create If dll (Please explain.)

 Please answer questions regarding Automation Anywhere. Recently, I checked that the bot I created, which was already checked in and made public, had changed itself in the Action >Disconnect Database section. When I looked at the Action If, it was completely inconsistent. My questions are:Why did it automatically generate the If action even though I hadn't check out?" If you have any suggestions please feel free to advise me

Sugestion for new group/role: RPA Infrastructure

Hi Pathfinder-Team,I miss the role RPA infrastructure and the corresponding group.In our RPA CoE we have three tasks: RPA lead, centralized development and infrastructure. For Automation Leaders and Developers the corresponding groups already exist. But not for RPA infrastructure.Our infrastructure team is responsible for the whole technical setting: Installation, configuration and administration of our controlrooms, user/role management, deployments from dev to prod, installation of bot agent on the botrunners, support of our citizen developers, support for production problems, set up schedules.An exchange of ideas and best practices would really help us to improve.Regards, Stefanie

Requirements and Steps for Implementing Device Pool in AA360 18xx - On-Premises

I would like to know the steps to implement the Device Pool feature in my AA On-Premises infrastructure. I currently have 3 Bot Runner licenses, and each one always runs on the same device, but it would be more optimal to implement execution based on availability. Thank you in advance for your responses.

Run-As User only Runs on Runners 1, 3 & 4 but not Runner2

We have four runners named 1, 2, 3 & 4.  When running bots using the “Run-as User” option and select all four runners and tell a bot to run on “1” device, the bots will only deploy on Runners 1, 3 & 4.  If all three of these devices is in use and Runner 2 is available, it will simply queue up the bot and wait for 1, 3 & 4 to be available.   Runner 2 is set up the same as Runner 1, 3 & 4, and used to work previously this way, but no longer does.  Runner 2 will run bots if you specifically select Runner 2 as the only device to run on.   All four unattended runners have their own specific user/device assigned.  We do not utilize queues or device pools.   Anyone else run into this issue?

Community Edition license expired...

Having the same problem as many others. Started the training months ago and when I have some time I want to continue but every time I have the same problem. Can’t even open the control room on community edition. “License not found” the only option is logout.Many others posted the same issue. How can a company like this, providing the services that it’s providing, not being able to solve this issue for everyone.. it blows my mind.

Overwrite deletes Files and Folder

I have been trying to write my files into a folder, Here how it does it; Creates zip folder after downloading files → Then starts sub routine to unzip → sub routine creates new folder within Property → then begins unzip to that folder → bot completes then resets to check for more downloads. Currently Within this process it will delete all folders inside of Property folder when creating the new folder. We had a large data corruption occur from this and took several hours to pull up backup logs. When I’ve used “Overwrite file” it deletes the files on occassion. If I don’t allow, the process fails as it sees files with the same naming path already. What can I do? Here is a reference to the file pathing looks like 123 Sesame St, New York - Bob Barker - 02-01-24

Using the Number Package with Math Operations and Decimals

I’ve been doing some testing using the number package and math operations. According to the documentation, the number package “ holds values from -9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807, and up to 15 decimal digits.” Emphasis mine.I’ve been trying unsuccessfully to add, subtract, multiply and divide where the result should be a decimal. All I’m getting is whole numbers no matter what I feed in. Examples attached.How do you get the number package to recognize and return decimals?
