Cannot delete the last file in a folder in a loop action

Good Afternoon - I am having an issue where i have a loop, wherein I do some processing to a series of pdfs. After Im done processing, I move the files to an archive folder, and delete from that current folder. This works, except for the last pdf file in the queue. When the bot encounters the delete task for the last file, I receive an error stating: “Unable to delete the file(s) ‘**file location omitted for post**’ because they are being used by another process. Try after sometime.I have tried entering a delay, but to no avail. Every other file is deleted successfully.Any ideas?

Will the bot execute the next STEP Action if the IF condition inside the loop fails in the 2nd STEP action?

Description: I'm currently working on a bot that uses the Step action multiple times, and I have a question regarding its behavior when an IF condition inside the loop fails in the 2nd STEP. Specifically, I'm wondering if the bot will continue to execute the next step in the sequence, or if it will simply complete without executing the 3rd step?I would appreciate any insights or guidance on this matter, as I want to ensure that my bot is functioning as intended. Thank you in advance for your help!

How to create variable for index and variable for item when looping a list

How can I use the Loop action in order to create a variable for index, and create a variable for item?For example, in Python, it would be like iterrows: https://www.w3schools.com/python/pandas/ref_df_iterrows.aspIn RPA, doing the following would only allow for creating a variable for the item, there is no option here for also creating a variable for index. Thanks

VBScript function in AA360 - multiple outputs

Hi All,I am using Automation Anywhere 360 and I have question related to VBS function in AA. I need to receive many outputs from script, but “VBScript: Run function” allows to assign only one string variable as output. I found not perfect workaround where I:In VBScript create one string output made from many values separated by specific sign (e.g. “/”). Assign the VBS output to string variable Use “String: split” to create list with needed outputs. As a result I received: This is not perfect workaround because I could have value which includes my delimiter (in this case “/”) and then I receive wrong outputs.Do you have any suggestions how I can get many outputs form VBS function in AA 360?Thank in advance for help!Michal

AA360 Interactive Form

Hi everyone,  Is there a way for me to build an interactive form with a dropdown that can enable user’s to select multiple options within the dropdown? I’ve tried this by making use of a checkbox with the various options a user can select, however I’m struggling with reading the actual value/name of the checkboxes selection as I need to store it in a variable to be used at a later stage.  Is there a way I can go about this on the interactive form? Below is the checkbox list I’ve created and added into the form and I need to get the value eg: SRV00871  Kind regards,Nokuthula Mkhize

Get the Coordinates of a Specified Feature in Webpage

I am capturing an area of a window, but the size of this area varies depending on the webpage I am viewing. I would therefore like to identify a feature on the page and get its coordinates. I will then use these coordinates in the image capture package so I only capture the relevant bit. Can I do this in A360?

Swagger differences and inconsistencies for A360 versions

Hi all,  While working for different customers, differences and inconsistencies in Swagger and lack of backwards compatibility have been found between AA360 versions.Examples: repository-management-api.yaml : Older version on the left does not have some definitions covered in the newer version on the right. Still, API endpoints are there and are working.Trigger API definition missing on V1 for older version on the left, but present in V1 for newer version on the right. You would expect changes for newer versions to be added, but older versions that might be used would be expected to remain consistent API versioning usually means having legacy support between application versions. In the newer version on the right, Endpoint for /activity/list from V2/Bot execution was just removed and bumped to V3.  Does anyone know how to cope with these inefficiencies? Is there an​​​​​​​y official announcement or documentation where AA indicates these new changes?I would like to be up to date on these
