Hey Everyone recently i was working on my bot , i tried to run my bot on my community edition account but a pop up appeared and it showed to upgrade my bot agent , however i ingnored that pop up , and continued to run the bot , but the pop showed device not able to deploy . To fix this issue i went to my devices section to manually update my device , however by clicking on update a pop up appeared saying device no suitable for update . In order to fix this issue i uninstalled automation anyhwere in my pc , removed its files and tried to install again , now i tried to delete my existing device in order to create a new one , since only device is allowed to be created on a single machine , but my device was not deleted , a pop up appeared and showed (“It is part of an active deployment”) , now i tried everything removine my bot projects , trying postman api , but my device is not getting deleted . How can i resolve this ?

Q: API to check if device is available for bot deployment - I understand that we have an option to check if device is connected or disconnected! - However, you inputs to check connected device availability for bot deployment would be much appreciated - Thanks.

Hallo,is the Outlook application presence necessary on BOT machine when using e-mail:connect Email server or EWS action?greetings MT

I am getting logged out multiple times an hour while running/developing bots and it’s extremely annoying. The only error I could find in the AA logs was an AI sense failed to log line which is proceeded by a logout sequence. When I am developing I usually have multiple tabs open with different tasks I am working on in each one. I am wondering if that’s the reason I am being logged off? Also in development settings under devices there is an option for “concurrent sessions supported” do I need this value to be higher than 2? Any guidance on this would be super helpful.

I just realized that the built in SP Delete File action does not move the file to the recycle bin, it just gets rid of it completely. Why would that be the default? Wouldn’t that make it harder to log and track and negate the ability to recover files?I read that there is a separate action for the API to recycle, so I cannot figure out the logic behind why the default behavior for the AA Package is the full admin shadow power delete and not the default safe recycling a human user gets. I get in theory why the API has both, but why does the AA package only offer the less useful option?I will probably end up building full API commands to recycle every time I need to delete, but that kind of defeats the point of AA packages doing the basics which is disappointing. I want end users to be able to recover a file if they run a process that deletes the old file which they end up needing for some reason. With the full delete it looks like I would need special audit logs to even see the activity

Hi, How can we achieve Vlook up and Pivoting in AA 

Hi all,  I would like to know if it is possible to access another user’s private repo using an admin account? Or is there some other method to access another user’s private repo? We occasionally have team members going on unexpected leave, and we are unable to access their changes on their private repo. Using the recover bots and files instruction is not ideal as the user has not left the team, just that they are away temporarily.   Jacob

Does anyone have any 3rd party alternatives to COE Manager and Bot Insight that they are currently using? Ideally a website or app which we can POST too which will display our bots and other information in a readable format! Any help/info will be appreciated. Thanks

Hi Guys, I am executing a macro using the “Run Macro” command in the Excel Advanced package & facing an issue where the macro is getting executed without any issues but at the end a dialog box comes up which indicates that the macro was successfully executed. It is due to the MsgBox command present at the end of the macro code. When the pop up comes up, it does not closes automatically as well as the subsequent lines of code do not get executed in AA & the the code is stuck at “Run Macro” command till someone manually click on the OK button of the dialog box. Can anyone please help me to overcome this issue?

I am curious if anyone has integrated A360 with Azure AD for authentication? I know there is general documentation for configuring SAML integration, and an example document for Okta integration, but I am going to be working with a customer and am not an Azure guy. I’d be grateful for even a high-level checklist (on the Azure side), including any caveats or hiccups you ran into, if this is something you’ve done in the past. Edit: I was able to find the following article: https://apeople.automationanywhere.com/s/article/Steps-To-Configure-SSO-Authentication-With-AzureAD-As-IDProvider. Still interested if anyone has encountered any gotchas.
