I am getting an error in my automation bot when I run the python script: execute function. I the bot is stuck on that line of code. There is a spinning wheel like it is processing that line of code, but it never throws an error and it never finishes execution. Any tips on why this might happen?

Is there a simple way to parse a number as a string and vice versa. It is cumbersome having to create a string variable and use the number->ToString action anytime that I create a number variable so that I can reference that variable as a string. Is there a way that I can parse the number as a string without creating a separate string variable.Like how in java I could always say Integer.toString(myInt) instead of creating a string variable.Thanks in advance

Hi everyone, I have tried to follow the documentation to upload a file : https://docs.automationanywhere.com/bundle/enterprise-v2019/page/enterprise-cloud/topics/aae-client/bot-creator/commands/process-composer-upload-storage-file.htmlI get this error : The request was rejected because the URL contained a potentially malicious String "//" The process looks like that :What can be the cause of this error ? I know that the path of files is usually crdata:// but I do not know if and why that causes this problem

Hi,I have two queues which has to run on the same machines. The bot which uses the first queue has to enter the data in second queue. Once the data is entered in second queue the second queue should take the priority 1 and process rather 1st queue going into considering the next work item. Is this possible in Automation Anywhere, If yes how?

There are 2 ways to run automations in order per Round robin with a given time slice and Priority as shown in the table In device pools, under Run with queue automations. What’s the exact functionality of those two features? It would be highly appreciated if someone could explain each scenario with examples.

Hello,I’m trying to use event trigger feature.I prepared event trigger section in task bot (if file in folder is created).I set event trigger by user - unattended bot runner user (I also tried role setting). Unfortunately nothing happens. TriggerListener and NodeManager processes are working on the machine, but it seems A360 can’t check event and deploy a bot. Do you have any ideas what could went wrong? Maybe lack of permissions? Or another obvious mistake?

Hi,I am extracting words from a document and using https://www.thesaurus.com/ to get their synonyms. While I type the word in search bar and try to extract the synonym, I am getting the error “Unable to find LINK. Search Criteria did not match.” I am getting the output only for the word in which I am doing the record and capture, but not for other words. I have tried capturing the synonym word using different modes of record capture, the browser link is also having wild card. So I don't know what the issue is. I have attached the code in screenshot. Can someone help me? Thanks Regards,Bala

Hello, I'm having a problem with scheduling bots. I can schedule an unassisted runner bot but it never starts. Why does this happen?

If I have a file path contained in a string variable. How can i convert this file path to a file variable which is selecting the same file. The use case is that I am trying to use the PDF actions and for these you have to pass in a “file” variable rather than a file path. In my process the PDF file will be created by the bot in an earlier step but i am only getting the file path as a string at that point. My question is how can i set this file path into a file type variable. 

We have recently downloaded and installed "IQ Bot Advanced" package v.32 from Bot Store, but while trying to use any action under this package, it displays the following error message:“This may be due to the following reason: An unexpected error occurred. null Please contact system administrator.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”Please assist in making this package work for us, so that it can be used effectively. Thank you!Regards,Karan

Hello,I have been receiving the error message: “The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process” related to a txt file that I am using to log my bot’s progress. As my bot runs, this text file is updated using the “Log to file: Log to txt file” action. I have no other instances of this text file open and no other applications are using or referencing this text file (that I know of), so I have no idea why it would say that the file is already being used by another process.I have been logging using this same method for weeks on the same project and I have not received this error message. However, today I have received this error almost every time that I have run my bot. I thought that the issue might be coming from situations where I have two consecutive “log to file” actions in my bot and so I added a delay in between those actions. This worked in these cases, but I have other cases where there is a single log to file action that is still failing.Note that
