TYPE_014 ERROR CODE

Hi All, I’m attempting to start playing with automation anywhere, so I’m using the community edition. I imported a couple of the free bots so I can run/evaluate them (shopping assistant, car search), however I’m having trouble running them. The shopping assistant doesn’t create a log file as far as I can tell, but displays message boxes saying how each of the website (CVS, Walmart) searches encountered a problem. The car search runs, but gives me the following in the log file :Plug-in action failed. Make sure that your browser plug-in is properly installed and enabled. For more help with this issue go to A-People, the Automation Anywhere community forum. Error code:TYPE_014I do have the plugin installed/enabled. There is a post on this community (‘Facing TYPE_014 ERROR CODE’) that includes a link to a resolution, but I can’t access it because I’m not yet a customer :(If anyone could offer some guidance on the above I’d really appreciate it as I’m trying to demo Automation Anywhere

How to disable universal recorder scrolling?

Hello Everyone,I’m having some issues with the Universal Recorder at the moment. On the website I want to automate cardmarket.com there is a UI that follows you as you scroll downwards that overlaps with the buttons I want to be clicked.The program will successfully find it over the UI but the click won’t work since it’s currently overlapping.The work around kind of is to use AISense instead and ensure that the page is scrolled upwards since it doesn’t move the page.Anyone have any ideas?

Queue - pause and start

Hi All, Is it possible to pause the Queue through bot or via API? Once the data is sent to the queue, I need to check something before the Workitems are picked up by all the machines in Device pool. Hence wanted to know if we can pause the queue automation after the work items are inserted and then resume queue automation via api or Bot? ( I do not want this to do manually) ThanksVanitha R

password protected files in Automation 360

Hello everyone, I have recently taken the Automation 360 partner sales certification and one of the questions was really weird. It asked how to mark a file as password protected but none of the answers seemed relevant.Some of the propositions were about metabots, that only exist with v11 (I have only used and followed the A360 formation), others about a “privacy gateway protocol” (those must be fake answers, I do not find anything with that name in the documentation), or the password package (that does not exist either). None of the proposed answers was about the Credential Vault, the credential or PGP package...Has anyone already faced this kind of question ? Nobody in my company seemed to understand it. Is it possible that it is a legacy question (designed for a former v11 exam) mistakenly still present ?

Unable to get selected text using record capture

Hi everyone, I have a bit of a problem here, whereby I’m trying to get a selected item/text using the capture action but for some reason on the dropdown the bot should select from, the bot’s able to identify single words but can’t identify words with spaces. E.g: Pepsico Sa will fail for some reason but if it’s Pepsico, the bot can identify it. Please may I get assistance on this.

A360 API Response to Variable

Hello, I am currently looking to work with a United Health Care API. When testing with their lower environment and reviewing Automation Anywhere documentation, it appears the only way to get the body of the response is to log it to a file. Is there anyway to break it down into getting the whole body as a variable? Or can we break it down even further and get specific info from the body to a variable. We followed this documentation to log to file: https://docs.automationanywhere.com/bundle/enterprise-v2019/page/enterprise-cloud/topics/aae-client/bot-creator/using-the-workbench/cloud-using-get-action.html One of the other things we tried was to take the output variable and break everything down even smaller to make it $APIOutput{"Body.apivariable"}$ but that returned a null response. If anyone has any tips or tricks that would be greatly helpful!

No Check In Permission?

I have a user that is receiving the below error when they try to check in a bot.“Insufficient privileges.You do not have the permission "Check In".Please contact the system administrator to get the required permission.” I checked the AA docs regarding how to check in a bot. In the doc it says “Required: Check in permission at the folder level and at the corresponding parent folder level in the public workspace.” I’ve checked the roles up and down and I can’t find any check in permission! Does anyone know where this permission lives?

The bot could not be executed due to an error in setting up the execution environment. This may be due to multiple reasons.

Everytime I try to run my bot or capture an object, I am getting this error. The error says that it can be due to multiple reasons but not sure what I can try to do to solve this. I tried restarting my machine.“The bot could not be executed due to an error in setting up the execution environment. This may be due to multiple reasons.”

Display resolution for laptop, additional monitor and VM

Hi there, I am using a laptop and then extending my display to an additional monitor. I need to connect to VM to access control room for bot building. At the moment I don't have a runner machine. I would like to know what resolution and scaling should I set for my laptop, monitor and VM machine?Should laptop, monitor and VM have the same resolution and scaling? I am leaning towards 1920 * 1080 and 100% scaling for the 3. As a team all other developers can also use the same resolution to avoids issues with the capture command.

Problem with running a Parent bot in Debug mode in Enterprise version

Hello everyone,I have the following problem and I started thinking , that this is a bug of the Enterprise edition: I have created а Parent bot In the Parent bot I have two child bots( variables are mapped and when I’m running only these two child bots there is no problem) I want to run one more child bot in the Parent bot , but the actions are not developed yet( step 17 from the picture) When I’m running the Parent bot through the Debug mode and want to type any letter in the variables search box , my keyboard stops working or not working as normal, when I'm scrolling my mouse the desktop zooms in and out and most of the time is needed to restart the computer. It is necessary to run the Parent bot through the Debug mode in order to develop next steps(Step 17) and when they will be ready will be added in the third child bot. I cannot run separately Step 17 , because there are dependencies with the first two child bots. The chache memory is already cleared and I’ve checked the Ram memo

sub task not getting executing in higher env

I recently migrated my bot from v11 to A360 and it's working fine in the development environment, but when I run it in the test or higher environment, I am encountering a strange issue. The main task is not executing the first sub task and I am not getting any error message. Additionally, some variables are being reassigned as blank after the run task command.I have tried checking for syntax errors and logical issues in the code, and I have also verified that all necessary dependencies and modules are properly installed and configured. However, I am still having trouble resolving this issue.If anyone has any idea of what might be causing this or has encountered a similar problem before, I would greatly appreciate any help or suggestions you can offer.Thanks in advance for your assistance!
