Voting Now Open: Help Choose the 2025 Community T-Shirt Design

One of our goals (each and every year) is to make sure the Pathfinder Community feels represented and rewarded for their contributions. And one of the ways we do that is by letting you all help decide on the design for our annual swag.Last year, you helped us create community history by choosing the iconic "Flow View vs. List View" design that sparked so many great conversations at our events. Now, we're back for another exciting round of voting to decide on the 2025 design! We've created three fantastic new t-shirt designs that celebrate our community's innovative spirit. Each design tells a unique story about how AI and automation are transforming the way we work. Plus, these aren't just t-shirts - they're conversation starters that showcase your role in shaping the future of AI-powered automation.We need your help to choose which design will lead the charge! Read the stories behind each shirt and cast your vote in the poll at the bottom of this post. AI ConstellationsAI Constellatio

Development Bot Failing on Virtual Machine (VM) Unless It's Specifically in Focus

Is there a way to run a bot on a VM without it constantly failing because you don’t have the window specifically in focus? Have turned the clipboard off when signing into the VM, but if I minimize the window, if the screen goes to sleep, if I close the VM window after running a development bot or don’t have the VM window maximized and in focus it ALWAYS fails. If I keep the window open and in focus it will run just fine. I do have multiple screens. I need to be able to multitask without sitting there watching a bot run during development, as some runs can take an hour or more. Thanks for any tips!

A360 Control Room - Account Creation Bot

Hello AP community. I have a requirement to create 50+ control room accounts for Co-Pilot Business Users. Doing this manually will take some time and insanity will quickly set in. Does anyone have a bot they are willing to share that takes care of the entire account creation process? It needs to add the account to the control room, set the license parameter, add the roles, set the password and security questions/answers. Thanks.

Can bot runners be run in an "Active-Passive HA" mode?

Hi team,I am working with a prospect who has this very specific requirement and they are currently evaluating both AA and UiPath. The requirement in a gist is the prospect wants an "Active-Passive HA" at bot runner level. Let me add some details to clarify the requirement. The prospect will procure 2 bot runner licenses and they will be running on different machines. One bot runner - let's call this primary - will be executing the bots that are it has been assigned to run. Second bot runner - let's call this one secondary - will have the same bots assigned to it as the primary one. The secondary bot runner stays in "listen-only" mode when the primary bot runner is functional. It does not care how many queue items are there in the primary bot runner's bucket or how busy it is. The secondary bot runner jumps into action if and only if the primary bot runner goes down - for whatever reason. It then continues to function as primary till the actual primary comes up. The the original primary

Table variable goes into an infinite loop

We have a bot that that uses the Excel Basic: Get multiple cells action to populate a table variable. Then we have a “Loop for each row in table” action that loops through that table variable and inserts each row returned to a record variable.This all worked fine until recently. The loop action goes into an infinite loop now even if no rows were found to populate the table. I confirmed this with a message bot which returned a count of how many records were in the table. Has anyone else run into this.

[Resolved] Cannot delete device as it is part of active bot deployment in A360

[Resolved] Cannot delete device as it is part of active bot deployment in A360 🎉 In this post, we'll address the recurring challenge of encountering the error "Cannot delete device as it is part of an active bot deployment," particularly when your BOT is persistently stuck in the In Progress Stage, hindering its transition to the history section. Additionally, this solution is applicable to scenarios where you are utilizing a Community or On-Prem Control Room and facing the following issues:BOT stuck in In Progress Stage and not able to move it to history BOT stuck in Pending execution Stage and not able to move it to history Cannot delete device as it is part of an active bot deploymentYou can follow the same steps or solution through video as well.  Error: The device cannot be deleted since it is involved in an ongoing bot deployment. When executing your bot, you may encounter a situation where the previous run becomes stuck, preventing you from initiating the bot again.  At times,

Bot Stuck in Pending Execution in a different device

Hi Team,I am facing an issue with my Community edition Control Room (https://community.cloud.automationanywhere.digital). I have 2 task bots which are stuck in progress with Status Pending Execution. Now the issue is, the device in which those 2 tasks are stuck is no longer available. As I opened the control room in a new device the old device is deleted from the control room, but the tasks are still in pending execution.I am unable to run any new tasks in the control room due to these tasks being in the queue. Is there a way to remove these tasks from the control room.Current Device which is connected to the Control room Pending tasks are assigned to the older device which is no longer availableI’ve tried the API method to remove the device but since the old device is no longer connected to the control room and i do not have access to old device it does not work.If there is any solution please let me know.Also, there is one more issue regrading the Community Edition, I no longer have

A360 bot agent won't connect after install, and the installer also has a bug

Hi,After installing the A360 bot agent, the Control Room shows the machine’s agent as disconnected. Previously, it was showing as Connected.Please see attached picture. When I uninstalled A360 bot agent and then tried reinstalling it again, in the installer it says “Install this application for:” with “0” for both options, which is not what’s expected. You would expect the top option to be “For all users” and the bottom option to be “Only me”We’ve been able to reproduce this issue through our IT spinning up a VM with the latest Windows updates. Additionally, we bought a whole new Windows computer and still get this same problem.Thanks
