Hi,I want to extract text from pdf file. When I try, I get the following error:This may be due to the following reason: An unexpected error occurred. Index 1000 out of bounds for length 1000 Please contact system administrator.To continue, edit the bot and fix the error. Then, try again.How can I solve this?Regards, Rasul Babayev

When I want to run the bot on the server, I get an error while defining a variable. The code works locally. I don't understand why it doesn't work on the server. Does anyone have an idea?

Using A360, I am struggling to merge multiple pdf documents. The exact number of documents is variable. Therefore, the activity PDF: Merge Documents is not suitable because it requires the bot developer to declare ahead of time the documents to merge. I’ve even tries the bot store PDFUtils. The “Merge all PDF files” action works, however I can’t sort which order the documents should be merged into, so the final file shows out of page order. I’ve also tried the PDFUtils: Merge PDF files but receive an error as if the package is not working correctly.  Thank you very much for any help and advice! It is greatly appreciated as this issue has stalled bot development for our use case.

oAuth on the control roomcurrently, we have each Bot doing oAuth authentication from stored credentials. Which means that the first time a Bot runs unattended, someone has to manually authorize the logins. Subsequent runs seem to work fine. But I'm pretty sure Google expires those oAuth tokens at some point. It would be nice not to have to manually re-enable those logins.

Deployment fails after restart:If the Bot Runner machine has been up for a while everything is fine. But if the Bot Runner machine restarts (for a windows update for example.) the deployment fails with this message:java.lang.RuntimeException: No session found for user botuser1 the device  

Hi everyone,I'm encountering a rather strange situation with an Automation Anywhere bot I've implemented. The bot interacts with SAP using AA's native package to send commands like export table or send key. However, I've noticed that these commands seem to be "frozen" or significantly slowed down compared to before, with SAP response times noticeably degraded.What's even more puzzling is that it seems when I connect to the machine via RDP, the situation suddenly improves. I'm wondering if this is just a coincidence or if it could actually be the case. Additionally, I'm considering whether these SAP slowdowns might be related to some infrastructure issues, such as network problems, system resource limitations, or VDI configurations.If anyone has experienced something similar or has insights into what could be causing this behavior, I'd really appreciate any suggestions or advice.Thanks in advance!

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

I'm encountering an issue in Automation Anywhere where the date-time retrieved from APIs or during file inspections is consistently an hour ahead. This affects all actions that involve grabbing date-time information. Has anyone else faced a similar problem or has any insights on how to resolve this? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

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?

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

Hi everyone, I have configured an AARI process to extract PDF documents and on one of them I meet the error :EXTRACT_FAILED - [Native] : 415 : UNSUPPORTED_INPUT_TYPE : The input file type pcx is not supportedHowever I can confirm it is a PDF file and not a PCX (I do not know what that means). Has anyone already faced this error ? I find nothing on Google. How could I solve that ? Best regards,
