Is anyone using the Clear Browser Cache Bot from the Bot Store?

Hello,We downloaded the Clear Browser Cache Bot from the Bot Store and tested in our non-production environment.  We expected the bot to clear the cache and browsing history as noted in the read_me.  But it appears to be doing much more.  Our AA 360 extension is disabled, bookmarks are deleted and it appears the entire user profile is “reset”.  The next time Chrome is launched, it displays a “Welcome to Chrome...” message as if the application has never been used.This behavior makes the Clear Browser Cache Bot potentially unusable.  Anyone else having the same experience?  We’d like to use it but need to throttle back some of the behavior.Appreciate any feedback the Community can send our way!Thanks!This is the bot store location:https://botstore.automationanywhere.com/bot/a2019-clear-browser-cache?_ga=2.195908783.245827111.1686228652-724735434.1684769826&_gl=1*h04yku*_ga*NzI0NzM1NDM0LjE2ODQ3Njk4MjY.*_ga_DG1BTLENXK*MTY4NjIyODY1MS40LjEuMTY4NjIyODg5Mi42MC4wLjA.&_fsi=vnL8Vf3Q

I am running an sap report that exports to an excel spreadsheet. I want to use save workbook action but it wants a session name. How do I create a session without opening a workbook I don't need?

All I want to do is save the newly created workbook but I get the error "cant find open session" without opening an already existing workbook. If I do that, then AA wants to save that workbook instead of the exported one when I put in the save workbook action. What am I doing wrong?

Fails on Outlook

We have a script that has been running forever, it opens an email account and reads through unread. Grabs Keywords to run certain subroutines that are different task. The bot currently keeps failing to find the email account located on outlook. I’ve tested this a few different ways and it can find and read the email via other bots but something within this loop/connection keeps having a failover occur. Please advise as I can’t get the bot to find the email account, I’ve tried relinking the account, as well as rewriting the base elements of the connection and loop parameters.

Process data is not being transmitted to Insight, what can cause the issues?

Process data is not being transmitted to Insight. The process runs successfully, but no datapoints are generated. This happens often, with a frequency of even 50/50. There is no trust in the Insight reports at all.I have bot what runs 2 times per day in production environment and of course scheduled way.Data comes in insight okey, but common matter is missing data points in one day in insight. It cannot be license or system update related because i can see some data.Some bots have correct data like in months but some bots have big problem get relevant data in insight reports. We cannot trust insight reports at this moment. So we are using also log to file same variables to get relevant run reports.Are there any known issues what can cause data missing/corruption. Like special characters etc?facts: code lines goes to end 100%. I have log to file step after analyze close and I can see txt file relevant data. so code goes over analyze close step.code has only 1 analyze start and 1 analyze

A360 locking up device when trying to create Learning Instance with Document Automation

Wondering if anyone here has experienced this issue when trying to create a learning instance with Document Automation. I hold the Co-pilot license and when I try to create a learning instance, my A360 completely locks up my device and I receive the error that my device is already in use. We struggle to stop the in progress activity so I can reconnect my device. I also work on a VDI and my entire VDI will crash as well.  Our team would like to implement the Document Automation, if anyone has any tips, they would be great! Thanks!

OneDrive can't merge files

I am curious if anyone has seen this issue before. Working with a customer that is processing hundreds of Excel files for daily rate changes. The files are all in OneDrive, which is exposed to the bot account under C:\Users\BotAccount\CompanyName\etc.\etc. The bot is receiving an error pop-up about 30% of the time when closing and saving the excel file. The error states OneDrive was unable to merge the changes to the file, and gives you two options to resolve the file conflict: Open in Office and Merge Changes or Keep Both Files.The bot is using Excel Advanced actions. I have added a pretty long delay between processing of different items, but that does not seem to affect it any; the percentage of failures is about the same. So I am curious before I start down a OneDrive rabbit hole if anyone has ever seen something similar.

the capture is taking too long

I am capturing an object in a web application. The capture is performed, for example, when I select an option from a dropdown list. The bot selects it, and I can see on the screen that the option has been chosen, but it takes between 5 to 10 seconds to move on, even though the option has already been selected. This also happens occasionally with buttons. I’ve already updated the packages

is there a way to share XML session

Hello, Is there a way to share the XML session from the parent BOT to the Child BOT(s) as session?For instance:I have a scenario, where I have to start the session in the taskbot named “abc” & then pass the session value to the child task bot(“def”) - which is being called in abc.I tried this, but its taking as string value, instead of session. I have tried checking in the session variable in the A360, but couldn’t find any with XML.I can write the whole logic(starting session & getting values) within the same taskbot, but that will become boiler plate code as I have to get multiple values from this. Anybody has gone through similar kind of issue? Thanks in advanceSai Teja Gayalahttps://www.linkedin.com/in/sai-teja-gayala-22192114a/
