Bot works only in open session and fails on closed session

Hi, I have a bot that is logging into an application.When I execute a process trough the control room on closed session, the process is failing at entering the credentials. It only types 4 caracters out of 16 . But when I connect to the remote resource and looks at the screen it works. In both cases it is executed trough a bot runner.What are the common reasons for which it does not work on closed session?  Kind regards

Get Specific Cell from Data Table Using Indices

The title sums it up. I have a data table with 5 columns and 125 rows. I know that the value I need is located in the first column in the first row (not header row). The cell location would equate to “0, 0”. Is there a quick way to do this in A360? I would like to avoid a loop as it requires more code/variable overhead than I want.

Slowness when evaluating files using wildcards

Hi everyone,I’m facing an issue and I wanted to know if anyone has faced it before and have some advice.In one of my bots I use an “If file exists” command checking a folder for any PDF file. Line would be: If File Exists \Path\*.pdf.And then I’m using a loop while file exists \Path\*.pdf and in both cases the automation spends several minutes evaluating the conditions, which hinders bot productivity.Does anyone have an idea that could help me solve this? Thanks.

Comprehensive List of Inline Type Conversions and Variable Shorthand

You may or may not be aware of the inline variable shortcuts that exist within the A360 bot editor. For instance, if you want to convert a number variable to a string so you can display it in a message box, you could add a “Number: To string” action into your task, like so:Added Number to String ActionYou just added 1 additional action and 1 additional variable to your task. However, you could simply skip this step altogether and just type the following straight in your message box: “myNumberVar.Number:toString”. Voila! You just eliminated a line of code and an extra variable that would otherwise clutter your task.  Pretty great right? I think so.The only issue I have with this concept is that Automation Anywhere does not seem to have a comprehensive list and or explanation of these variable shortcuts anywhere. Users are left to figure these out on their own. I have found only one page which only covers Boolean, String, and Numbers here, but there are also shortcuts for File and Legacy

Variable Conversion Capabilities?

A team member just shared with me that A360 is capable of making quick variable conversions without having to use additional actions. For example, finding the length of a list as that returns a number type: $lst_Categories.List:size$. This is very similar to Microsoft’s Power Automate Desktop, which I find extremely useful.  Can someone point me to A360 documentation that outlines these types of variable conversion capabilities?Thank you!

Download PDF file

Hello, I’m new using Automation Anywhere. I’m creating an automation where I need to click on a link “Save as PDF” and this link downloads a PDF file. I need to save the path of this file in a variable, because I need to read the content of the file later. How can I save the path of the file? I tryed to use the action “Download File”, but it does not seem right, because I need to trigger the action through the UI, not providing an URL. Thanks.

Recorder Capture - universal recorder not starting

I am trying to add a new recorder capture step into an existing bot. The window opens ready to capture, and I can highlight the area I want to click on.  However, the recorder doesn’t start and it stays permanently on this screen:   However, if I create a new bot from scratch and try to do the same steps, the recorder works and I am able to capture what I need. I’m confused as to why the recorder won’t work in the existing bot?
