Hi everyone,who knows how to solve this problem? My Environment is Automation 360 build 21023. What happend?I checked in a bot into public workspace (gitlab repository is up to date).I startet the bot unattendetI canceled the botI tried to check out, to update missing closing times of message boxes. Now I get the ErrorUnexpected error has occurred during check Out exception: Did not find expected file Automation Anywhere/Bots/<Botname>/metadata/<randomfilename>.png I tried the following1.I cloned it → that workedI cannot copy the clone 2.I export the public botExport start successful In Activity -> HistoricalIt failed with the same Error 3I cannot export the clonesame as 2 4I restart server and servicesno change Atthe Server I can find the folder with 2 png-files, but the one mentioned in the Error is not there. What can I do to avoid rollback of the server to a day without my changes.  

I need to automation Android and IOS mobile applications. Is it possible to automate using Automation Anywhere.? Please suggest.

When I try to install the bot agent it sends me this pop-up window, it installs the extension but I don't move forward from this window, I would like to know if this has happened to anyone.Additionally, the linked user was on another server, he unlinked and entered this new server to link it to this new one. if extra configurations should be made in hostname or somewhere else. 

Has anyone begun debugging child task bots yet? If so, how did your team update the bot agents to the necessary version? All our machines are stuck using bot agent 22.60.0 (required version is 22.60.23). I’m on the development side (not a control room admin), so I don’t really understand how the agent update process works. Is this an automatic update pushed to A360 customers, or do our admins need to proactively do something to upgrade to agent version? I am still using message boxes in child tasks to try and figure out what’s breaking in my bots. Cannot wait for the new debugger!

Hello,I have a bot that uses both the SAP Bapi connect and SAP connect (for gui automation) actions. They have been working fine in testing for the past few months, but last week they started throwing errors saying “Unable to connect to the SAP server. Please verify the connection details and try again”. The weird thing is is that this error only occurs when I run the bot in the development environment. I have a version in production (referencing the same credential vault) and both sap connect actions work fine there.Does anyone have any idea as to what might cause an issue like this?Thank you

Hi everyone,I’m Emmanuel Katto from Dubai, facing an issue with a bot that’s stuck in the "In Progress" activity. I attempted to reset the bot runner device through the API, but I'm unable to authenticate my credentials and keep getting an "Access is Denied" message when I try to authenticate using Postman.I’ve attached a screenshot for reference. If anyone has encountered this issue or has suggestions on how to resolve it, I would really appreciate your help!Thanks in advance!RegardsEmmanuel Katto

I am trying to switch over to use the new v2/schedule/automations endpoint to schedule bots since we’ve learned v1 is deprecated now…Is the part in the sample request body referencing a callback service actually required now?? I’m hoping not, because we’ve never set that up. But if it is required, that would explain why I can’t get anything to go through… been tinkering with the request body and keep getting a 400 error with message that just says “Invalid request parameters”has anyone else managed to get this working without a callback and maybe have some advice on translating the old version’s request body to the new one? (in terms of a field/fields you may have found that didn’t map to the new request body format as expected)

Hello AA and all pathfinder community. We are currently facing some issues regarding the excel package. Both excel advanced and basic aren’t working and showing the following error:An unexpected error happened. Unexpected eval class (org.apache.poi.ss.formula.eval.MissingArgEval) Enter in contact with your sistem’s administrator. (This was translated from ptbr. The original one is: Ocorreu um erro inesperado. Unexpected eval class (org.apache.poi.ss.formula.eval.MissingArgEval) Entre em contato com o administrador do sistema.)There is also an error that makes the excel white. I will also leave here some prints. Please help. 

I am experiencing issues while running a reconciliation task on invoices on my finance application. I use Firefox as the browser because it provides better compatibility with the finance site we work on. What we’ve observed is that every 30 to 40 minutes during the reconciliation task on the website, memory usage increases by several percentage , eventually causing Automation Anywhere's plugin to crash with Error Code: TYPE_01568. Interestingly, when performing other tasks on the same site—such as adding invoice lines—the memory consumption remains stable, and there are no crashes, even if the process takes up to 2 hours. We need assistance in resolving this issue permanently.Over the last 2 weeks, I have reinstalled the plugin atleast 7 times. reinstalled the browser , changed firefox to ESR version and tried different machines. This same behavior was observed.

Hello Pathfinders,I have registered for the two day AA Imagine India event happening on 19th and 20th November in Bengaluru, India.Just wanted to know who all will be joining me there, so please comment here if you are also attending this event!

I attempted to run a bot, but it remained inactive for an extended period, so I decided to click on Cancel.After that, I tried running it again, but I received the following message:User: (user_id) is already running a bot on device: (device_id)I also tried deleting the device, but encountered this message:Cannot delete device, as it is part of an active bot deployment.To resolve the issue, I have attempted the following actions without success:Restarted the "Automation Anywhere Bot Agent" service. Tried to reset the "Automation Anywhere Bot Agent" service, but the service did not appear. Uninstalled and reinstalled the agent. Uninstalled the agent and cleaned the AA folders in the user profile. Restarted the computer. Left the computer shut down (clean shutdown with no sleep or hibernation) overnight.Despite these efforts, the issue remains unresolved.Thank you for your assistance.Best regards.

HI, while uploading files to cloud it is giving error i.e unsupported format. The formats are pdf and.TIF files i am trying upload still it is giving unsupported format why? please provide me the solution 

Hi all,Has any one tried to create a single learning instance that can read invoices with totally different formats… like invoices from different vendors…. did you use the predefined one or used definedIf yes what are the main challenges… When i tried using predefined ..the first issue was that there are certain fields that exist in one format and not the other E.g: Line number… Just wondering how we can make a field as optional in the learning instance...so that it can read when available and ignore when not available…?

Excel automation resource please

Problem Statement: I need to find a way to loop through all rows in a react-infinite-table on a webpage that loads rows as the table is scrolled and capture the link and text values found in the first column of the web table. The bot will need to click the link found in the first column of the row when the bot finds a matching value that is provided to the bot through a record variable. The indexes of the table rows change as the table is scrolled/loaded so using a traditional loop is not working.

We have been successful to store ID/PW information (say for an email connector) in the Locker/Credential.  Assigned the Bot Developers to have Consumer access.On the EmailSend Action, that Locker/Cred can be selected and used without the Bot Developer ever seeing the value.  Great. Question - how to use on other fields? We have stored email server name also in the Credential for example.  But on the editbox to provide email server, it only accepts a String. Yes, Bot Store’s Credential Manager package seems to allow the read/conversion of a Cred to a String - but now the Bot Developer could simply send it to a MessageBox or LogToFile, etc. Is there a way to use Credentials as just simple “variables” that can be used in Actions, but not easily displayed?  The Help Docs mention “hostnames”, but I have not found an example of anything beyond ID/PW being used/accepted. We are using Enterprise Cloud Build 23228.

Bot got confused while extracting  ‘I’, and ‘1’ and extracted ‘1NQR’ instead ‘INQR’.If Invoice number contains PSINV8888, BOT extracted PS1NV which is wrong.If invoice number is I0782 BOT extracted 10782 How can we resolve the issue.

After I Create learning Instance In Document Automation  when I use Process in file type of PDF (one page )  it take long time and Failed ( status ) and give me this Error =>“EXTRACT_FAILED - [Native] : 500 : StorageSvcError : File upload failed : File name: 0_processed.png, File type: PREPROCESSED_IMAGE, msg: "An unexpected problem occurred"}” a try on file type tiff and it work and Status (Completed) Does anyone have an explanation or solution to this problem? 

Good afternoon everyone,I have a project under analysis that involves a 32-bit application which does not function on 64-bit systems. Therefore, migrating this application to 64-bit is not feasible. The documentation for AA 360 v.29 indicates that a 64-bit operating system is required, as well as the Bot Agent. Has anyone had experience with a deployment on 32-bit, or is it completely impossible? Thanks you

Hallo,I’ve got a On-prem CR installation of AA360 v.24 and Unattened Bot Runner wth Agent v. 21.134 installed and Chrome Manifest V3 plugin.Everything worked smoothly and then a few weeks ago something went wrong:when logging to CR from Bot Runner or Bot Creator the Indicator of Bot Runner shows connection after 10-12 sec after loggin-in (previously it went to Log-In state immediately)when running a Task with Unattended Bot Runner it takes twice as much time that it used to : logging to the machine, downloading dependencies and such takes longer than used, Especialy the moment when one task calls sub-task sor returns from from sub-tasks.I need a clue how to test what is the reason for that issue and check what is causing such long undesigned delays,I would be grateful for Your input,greetings Michal
