Child bot output variable doesn't go to a mapped Parent bot variable

Hi to all! This is my first post here. I’m new in this platform but I’m I have been working on other platforms such as UiPath and BluePrism for years. I’m not sure is this a bug or that’s how it works because it doesn’t makes sense to me:I have PARENT bot and a CHILD bot. In CHILD bot I defined an output variable ‘out_childVar_str’ (output checked) I have mapped this variable with an appropriate variable in the PARENT bot (parentVar_str). In a Child bot I assign a value to a variable ‘out_childVar_str’.After that assign action, I simulate an error with a throw then bubble that error to a Parent bot NOW...my problem is that parent variable (parentVar_str) has not getting the value from the mapped Child bot variable (out_childVar_str)  When I go through the child bot without a simulated error, the parent variable gets populated with the value from the child bot variable as it should be.But with the simulated error this just not working. Please help me with this one! Thank you!

how to start attended bot run without login

Hi,I use an attended bot runner license. The task I developed has to work at a certain time every day. I know the Attended bot is not scheduled, it is necessary to log in to the aarpa website with attended bot runner user and run the task. But this task should be triggered by the business unit. I don't want to give the attended bot runner user’s password to the business unit. Is there another way to run the task from the same pc without website login? Can you help anyone who knows? Thanks in advance.

A360 CE + SAP GUI: Need to double-click the 4th filter row

Hi there!!I’m building an automation that connects to SAP. In one step I need to double-click the 4th option in the ALV filter list. What SAP GUI Scripting records (works in SAP GUI)session.findById("wnd[1]/usr/subSUB_DYN0500:SAPLSKBH:0600/cntlCONTAINER1_FILT/shellcont/shell").currentCellRow = 4session.findById("wnd[1]/usr/subSUB_DYN0500:SAPLSKBH:0600/cntlCONTAINER1_FILT/shellcont/shell").selectedRows = "4"session.findById("wnd[1]/usr/subSUB_DYN0500:SAPLSKBH:0600/cntlCONTAINER1_FILT/shellcont/shell").doubleClickCurrentCellHowever, at runtime it selects the 3rd option, not the 5th. (Bloqueo de pago) which I need to be selectedQuestions In Community Edition, is there a native way to target a specific row index (e.g., row 5) on this SAP table and perform a double-click—similar to the SAP GUI script above? If “Invoke/Perform action by ID” is not available in CE, what’s the recommended approach? e.g., Recorder with row parameter, keystrokes (Home + Down x4) before double-click, or anoth

There is already an existing deployment in-progress for this user session. Deploy failed.

We are currently running into an issue with some unattended bots reporting that they failed to deploy.This only happens with certain bots, and only about once per month (though when it happens, causes any subsequent deploys also fail).When we log into the bot runner, the bot is stuck on the last line of the task to be executed.Seems to be an issue where the AA-DB file is locked, and therefore the bot can’t communicate back to the control room that the task is complete??The control room history indicates this error message when the deploy fails:“There is already an existing deployment in-progress for this user session - NETWORK\BOTNAME”The bot runner A360 logs indicate this error:“Caused by: org.sqlite.SQLiteException: [SQLITE_READONLY] Attempt to write a readonly database (attempt to write a readonly database)”Our current workaround is to delete the AA-DB file, and restart the bot agent. After we do that, any further deploys are successful.Posting on this community portal as A360 suppo

Handling windows with dynamic titles in AA360

Hi,I have started using AA360 since 2 months for automating one of the process.I have a scenario where window had dynamic Titles when opened every time. Basically its a pdf document opened through my ERP system. Since it has dynamic Titles always, I have some difficulties in closing these windows. I tried using GetActiveWindowTitle and SetTitle actions but realized that window never gets closed. I tried creating window variable without title, setting its title as google.com dynamically and then tried  browser close action using same variable. Didn’t worked. Any idea how to deal with dynamic title windows?Note: There is no pattern in title so cant use regex.

What pre-processing do you use on documents passed through the document extractor

I’m curious to know what pre-processing that other people use to increase the extraction accuracy of the document extractor. In the DA bootcamp series, they talked about using greyscale and contrast, but I’m curious as to what other techniques other people have used.Thank you

Performance issue with Get Property

Hello everyone,I'm working on a bot to extract data from a web form. The data I need is contained within several div elements.To get the data, I'm using the Get Property action with Inner HTML. This method works, but I've noticed a significant performance issue. The bot takes about 5 seconds to process each div, even when the div is empty and has no inner HTML.This delay is slowing down my bot's execution considerably. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is there a more efficient or faster way to extract data from these div elements using Automation Anywhere?Any advice or alternative solutions would be greatly appreciated.Thank you!this is an example of  a dive in the form : <div aria-labelledby="label_SD_REQUEST_DESCRIPTION" tabindex="0" id="SD_REQUEST_DESCRIPTION1" name="SD_REQUEST_DESCRIPTION1" class="dialog_memo"></div>

Veuillez vous assurer que l'authentification Google est effectuée à l'aide de la commande Connecter. Cela peut également se produire si le package d'autorisation Google obsolète est toujours utilisé.  Is it not possible to use “Default” as a session name, similar to what I am used to doing with the Excel package ?
