Salesforce automation

HI guys,We have an automation in saleforce app. We do not use connectors/licences etc. We do use recorder captures in various windows. However we’ve experienced that after each Saleforce maintenance captures stop to work due to change in object properties. Do you also have the same experience? Any idea how to handle this, please?Thanks

Using AARI to pass a file into a BOT

I’m trying to create a simple process using a form to get three string inputs from a user AND a file. I’ve created a simple test bot that has the variables as inputs. Three string variables and one File variable.On my form I have three text box inputs and a file selector input (all mandatory). I have all variables mapped to the variables in the BOT. The three text boxes are being passed in perfectly, but when I try to use the File variable in the test bot (for example, passing it in as the file variable for an Open Excel command) it does not work. I’ve checked the value of the File variable in a message box and it appears to be blank when I run this using AARI even though the other string variables are populated.Note that it works fine when I just run the BOT and and am prompted for inputs including the file. What gives????

Can we delete multiple rows at once from AARI Form instead of deleting rows one by one?

 Is there a way to select multiple rows based on filters and delete the remaining rows in AARI forms, similar to how you would do in excel. For example in the image above , I want to search for the relevant items, select them and delete the rest of the rows. Is there a way to do this as selecting each row one by one and deleting them is time consuming

The aim is to loop through values retrieved from a webpage, set a key-value system, and make a list out of it.I have created a list of type “Any”. When I put and retrieve values, it works correctly. However, when I stat iterating, the values are erased and replaced in elements of the list already addressed. How can I avoid having the values changed ?Here is the code :And the screenshotsI would expect the values at List[0] not to change.

Parse string into file name elements path, file name, and extension

What is the best implementation for dividing a file name string into its folder, file name, and extension components. I haven’t found a package that takes a string and parses it. Am I missing something?I’ve written a utility bot to do it by reversing the string and looking for the first period and first slash to accomplish what I want. However, it feels sloppy in what it does.I’ve looked at calling out to javascript, but that doesn’t have all-in-one solution.Also, any chance there will be a powershell package like there is javascript and vba?

Dumb question about comments

Are comments processed by bots or are they ignored completely?Why am I asking? When I debug a bot, I have to step over comment lines individually. If there are five comment lines in row, then it will be five step overs in the debugger. If I disable the comments, the debugger does not load them. One does not see them, and there is nothing to step over.So, I have been wondering if the botrunner is the same. Is it looking at and stepping over each comment in a bot unless they are disabled? (Why are comments enabled or disabled?)Just being curious here. -dvn

Syntactical Error in A360 When Using database Insert/Delete Commands

Hello everyone,I'm encountering a persistent syntactical error in Automation Anywhere A360 when trying to insert data into a database. The error occurs whether I use the `INSERT` or `DELETE` command. Here’s an example of the code I’m using:```INSERT INTO RPATest ([Case Id], MRN, Resident_First_Name, Resident_Last_Name)VALUES (123, '123Test', 'ABC', 'abc');```Error message: `There is a syntactical error in the SQL statement. - SQL statement got timed out.`Interestingly, the same code works perfectly when executed in SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), so I suspect this issue might be specific to A360.Has anyone else experienced a similar issue or knows how to resolve it? Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

ServiceNow Upload Attachment

Hi,When using the REST Web Services POST method to upload an attachment on ServiceNow, I am continuously getting the following error:{"error":{"message":"Failed to create the attachment. File part might be missing in the request.","detail"},"status":"failure"}I have tested via Postman with exactly the same headers and user credentials, and it works. The service also works via the ServiceNow REST API service.I have tried copying the exact same headers from Postman when it worked, but with no luck. I have also tried different files, as I feel this could be the issue, but I am always getting this error.Any support with this issue would be appreciated.Thanks, Brett
