SAP connection error. Log in using the SAP GUI and try again

Hello everyone, I have a very particular problem.We have a large number of bots deployed in production that use the same SAP user, and these bots work perfectly. Only ONE particular bot uses a different user due to business process reasons. This bot was working correctly and recently started failing in the following strange way.It happens during the connect action of SAP. The bot logs in perfectly, but for some reason, it throws the following error: I have searched the entire community forum and there is no information about it.Our team is lost.The SAP version is compatible with the package (we have already checked the documentation) and we have tested it in several versions just in case.Could someone help us?Thank you

Problem checking out after modifying a bot using recorder

Hello automation anywhere community, I have a situation with my on-premise control room, when I make a change to a bot using recorder and after saving the changes I want to check out it doesn't allow me, so I have to try to export the bot, when exporting it I get an error in the history and indicating a path to a metadata that does not exist, then I have to copy that metadata and create a PNG file with that name and save it in the path of the automation anywhere on-premise server until I get no more errors and then I can check out, can someone tell me how to correct this root problem?

Microsoft 365 Outlook

I'm curious to know how your organization processes a high volume of emails in Outlook 365 mailboxes. Specifically, for mailboxes receiving more than 500-1000 emails per day, what best practices have you implemented using the Microsoft 365 Outlook package in Automation Anywhere? Feel free to share any limitations or recommendations.

Error in 'Recorder' action

Good morning,I have four unattended servers on which I have an application called Quiter that is working correctly on two of them, however, on the other two it is not working. What happens is that I am using the 'Recorder' action and it does not recognize the textboxes or the buttons, even if I do it with a 'Find window in window' action the image appears black, instead of the element that I want to click on.Has anyone experienced this error? And if so, how were you able to solve it?It should be noted that Quiter and Automation Anywhere have already been uninstalled and reinstalled with the settings of the two servers that are working correctly.I greatly appreciate your support and await your response.

"CSV/TXT: Read" action unable to read data with an unterminated quote

I have a bot reading a CSV that sometimes will have a single double quote (“) symbol. Once it attempts to read the field with this symbol, it will fail and produce the error “Unterminated quoted field at end of CSV line”. Typical code will always have two double quotes (“ “) at the beginning and end of a value, so I see why it is trying to find the other quote. What is the best way to develop around this, to where the bot would remove the single double quote and proceed as if there were no symbol?

Microsoft Word Package - Bug Report

For this package in the bot store: https://botstore.automationanywhere.com/bot/a2019-microsoft-word-package/p> For each "Replace" action I use, it adds a carriage return to the end of the word document. Ive tried to disable all replace actions, and the carriage returns did not show. Then, I added 1 replace action, and a single return appeared at the bottom of the output word doc... when i added a 2nd replace action... 2 returns appeared at the bottom of the output word doc. Is there any way to repair this or mitigate the issue?

Using MS Access to get data table, nothing happens

Hello everyone…I´ve just started learning and using AA so any help would be much appreciated, I really don´t understand what I´m missing!I´m following a tutorial and using MS Access to pull information to a data table, then show a box message with the info… When I run the bot it doesn't give me an error, it just says completed and close, clearly skipping the box message part. I don´t know where the error is… is it the connection? the select statement? For the connection I tried both default and user defined, either way the result is the same. Regarding the select statement, I´ve tried a few but no change. Here is what I have so far:

Authentication API with Password

I am able to authenticate using the authentication API (both v1 and v2) using the username and apiKey. However, I’m unable to do so utilizing the username and password. I have validated that the URI, username and password are correct.  Are there perhaps user role permissions that I am missing which cause the issue? Or, is it most likely something that has been disabled internally within my organization? Error response:{    "code": "UM9999",    "details": null,    "message": "An unexpected problem occurred."}

How to pass in variables in the 🌐"Browser: Run JavaScript" action in Automation Anywhere?🤔

Hi Community,here is my guide how you can do it 👇👀Step 1️⃣:Use the "Log to File: Log text to file" action and set the "File path" to a file with a .js extension. (C:\Users\marc.mueller\Desktop\AA_Slider.js)Put your JavaScript code in the "Enter text to log" textbox with your variables. (see screenshot) 👀⚠️Make sure to set the "When logging" property to "Overwrite existing log file" to have the current variable in your JavaScript code.⚠️Step 2️⃣:I the 🌐"Browser: Run JavaScript" action set the "JavaScript to run" as "Import existing file" and point to the same file we have specified in Step 1️⃣.I hope you find this useful. Now I am curious to hear about your solutions?CheersMarc

Browser: Run Javascript fails to work with larger files are imported

I have a process which is generating a dynamic javascript file that I am then passing to Chrome using the Browser: Run JavaScript action and importing that file.This is working for many instances. However, when the generated file exceeds a certain size, the action fails. I’m unsure on the size limit, but 1.8MB does not work.I am converting PDF files to an uint8 byte array so I can use a Blob and File API within my dynamic javascript file to upload the file to a webpage.I can paste this javascript command into my Chrome dev tools and run it without any issues also. Does anyone have any ideas on this?
