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.

How to bring the data table containing 2 columns with 10 rows to display in the AARI form?

Has anyone been successful in setting up PKCE access to GMail? My firm uses GMail for work and recommended we switch from IMAP to PKCE, have been struggling to get this to work.Couldn’t find the OAuth package in the bot store, did not find any resourceful videos on YouTube either.@Micah.Smith 

Processing large Excel files, I’ve compared performance between Excel Basic and Excel as Database.For the file I tested with, Excel Basic took 2 minutes to process. Excel as Database too 28 Minutes!Anybody encountered this and found a root cause?Office version: Office 365AA Version: A360 cloud, Bot Agent version: 22.60.0

I am using v11 and I need to pass an array variable to macro. My array variable called arr has 3 rows with string type data. The vba method in macro is using the syntax like Sub create_Dyn(ByRef arr() As String). On execution the bot throws an error Type mismatch. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80020005 (DISP_E_TYPEMISMATCH))

So i wanted to run a script with 2 arguments -url & -authentication. tested it manually in local cmdC:\Download\script.exe -url=”argument” -authentication=”argument” and it works, a file is downloaded through the script. so i just use the application: open program/file and put (-url=”argument” -authentication=”argument”) in the parameters, the bot suceed but there is no file downloaded.

I´ve try use the “curl” to call API REST, but don´t know how to do, someone would can help-me? 

I am curious if anyone else has seen this. I inherited a bot that manipulates the UI of a medical provider webpage. I was told the bot has been failing in production for a long time, but the errors (due to insufficient logging) were vague at best. After troubleshooting the process I found the issue is not that the bot is failing but that it hangs, and I have narrowed it down to a particular step.The step in question is a simple Recorder step that clicks on one of three tabs (below). It seems from time to time the window closes or the tab is somehow not found. The interesting thing is the step completely ignores the timeout that is set. It simply hangs at this point and does not error out. In the production run of this bot, I found an instance where it stayed - stuck at this step - for days, while other bots filled the queue waiting to run. I have since added a timeout of 120 minutes under this bot’s settings page, and it is at least failing out now. But what I do not understand is why

I have nearly 3000 lines of data that is needed to be inserted into a Database every day. It is taking me nearly 3.5 hours to finish the bot. Is there any way I can do it faster? I am using Insert action within loop for worksheet as data to be entered is in excel. Please help as this is very urgent.

HI,I have a Windows application that includes embedded web fields, and I need to run JavaScript to perform certain actions on these web elements. However, running JavaScript with a browser will only work with actual browsers. In my case, I need a solution to execute JavaScript directly on the web elements within the Windows application. How can I achieve this?Any suggestions or guidance would be Greatly appreciated. Note: Tried Capturing with all three technologies, but not working for many fields@Micah.Smith

HelloCan someone please advise the simplest and quickest way to count the number of tokens in text file (words, punctuation, formatting etc) so I can make sure I don’t exceed the token limit for the Gen AI model? I tried using Python but I can’t get the python script to output the token count to a variable. I am using the following script. strInput is my input variable with the words.strOuput is where i need to store the number of words/tokens found in strInput. # Python code to count tokens using OpenAI's tokenizerimport tiktoken# Load the appropriate GPT-4 tokenizerencoding = tiktoken.encoding_for_model("gpt-4")# Define the text contenttext_content = """{{strInput}}"""  # This variable will be populated with content from Automation Anywhere# Encode the content to count tokenstokens = encoding.encode(text_content)# Output the number of tokensprint(len(tokens))

I keep hearing about automation co-pilots referring to AI chatbots, similar to microsoft co-pilots.But, for my company I also noticed that we have a desktop application called Automation Co-pilots and this application basically allows for us to run bots (linked below) How do I configure this automation co-pilot application so that I can run other bots from it, not just the one that is listed in the image. Thank you

I have two task bots(A & B) running and scheduled at 9 AM and 3 PM. Both bots are using SAP. Bot A runs successfully but when Bot B runs. It give an error: "Session name already used. Enter a different session name and try again." Can anyone please help me what I am missing?

I’m trying to create a simple process using a form to get three string inputs from a user AND a file. I’ve created a simple test bot that has the variables as inputs. Three string variables and one File variable.On my form I have three text box inputs and a file selector input (all mandatory). I have all variables mapped to the variables in the BOT. The three text boxes are being passed in perfectly, but when I try to use the File variable in the test bot (for example, passing it in as the file variable for an Open Excel command) it does not work. I’ve checked the value of the File variable in a message box and it appears to be blank when I run this using AARI even though the other string variables are populated.Note that it works fine when I just run the BOT and and am prompted for inputs including the file. What gives???? 

Hi everyone,I have tried to create a list of values of type dictionary. The aim is to loop through values retrieved from a webpage, set a key-value system, and make a list out of it.I have created a list of type “Any”. When I put and retrieve values, it works correctly. However, when I stat iterating, the values are erased and replaced in elements of the list already addressed. How can I avoid having the values changed ?Here is the code :And the screenshotsI would expect the values at List[0] not to change.

Hi , while I was trying to fetch the data table from database  it's asking me to download that data in CSV file. Can't we download it as a Excel.

I want to round up and round down a number which is stored in a variable.  Is there any action which can do it?

Are comments processed by bots or are they ignored completely?Why am I asking? When I debug a bot, I have to step over comment lines individually. If there are five comment lines in row, then it will be five step overs in the debugger. If I disable the comments, the debugger does not load them. One does not see them, and there is nothing to step over.So, I have been wondering if the botrunner is the same. Is it looking at and stepping over each comment in a bot unless they are disabled? (Why are comments enabled or disabled?)Just being curious here. -dvn
