Automatic provisioning of users and permissions

Hi automation leaders and technical experts,currently our controlroom users are administered manually. Users order the needed roles in our IDM tool “OneIdentity”. The controlroom admins get a notification in the IDM tool and they asssign the ordered roles to the user manually.We want to automate the user management, but our IDM team doesn’t support APIs yet.Now I would like to learn from you: How did you automate your user management?Courious regards,Stefanie

Improving Bot Efficiency for Mainframe Applications

Hello Everyone,I hope this message finds you well.Our bots are currently interacting with the mainframe application using a terminal emulator. However, we've noticed that the transaction times are longer than manual intervention. We are exploring ways to reengineer these bots to improve efficiency and adhere to better standards.Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Get File Size

I am automating a process where the actions taken on a file are dependent upon the size of the file. I assumed that AA had a command to retrieve the size of a desktop file, but that does not seem to exist. Is there any way to get this information easily?

How to identify specific Python script errors in Automation Anywhere?

I've been working with Python scripts in Automation Anywhere, and I’m wondering — if there's an error in the script, is there a way to see the specific error details directly in AA, rather than just getting a generic bot error?Any insights or best practices would be appreciated!

A360 - Deployment of BOTs

I’m encountering some inconsistent issues when deploying bots to their designated bot runner devices (i.e., Virtual Machines).Here’s what’s happening:I schedule the devices for their allocated times (e.g.8:00 AM). However, when I check later, I notice that the bot hasn’t run as expected.Upon reviewing the Historical Activity tab (Activity>Historical), there’s no record of the bot ever being executed.Is anyone else experiencing similar issues? I’m wondering if this might be a problem on Automation Anywhere end.

画像認識アクションのリモートデスクトップ接続時のエラーについて

お世話になっております。以前にも相談した画像認識のアクションのエラーについてです。エラーが起きる状況は、Bot RunnnerでBotのスケジュール実行を対象のパソコンを閉じている状態で実行した場合です。リモート接続で対象のパソコンの画面を見ている状態で同様に実行した場合は、エラーが起きずに正常に動作します。エラーメッセージは、”画像が見つかりません。画像が画面に存在していることを確認してからもう一度お試しください。”となっていますが、対象の画像は画面に存在しています。PCの解像度は更新前と同じ状態になっており、原因が把握できておりません。何か他に思い当たる原因や解決策をご教示頂けますと幸いです。

Black screen instead of screenshots

Hi everyone, I have an AARI process and bots running on production for six months. The AARI process displays screenshots at the end of the bot.I have just encountered an error : all the screenshots, in AARI or in the runner are all black screen. Note that the bots ran normally (with some errors related to screen interaction) and logs were written down.Did anyone ever face a similar error ?The only explanation I may have is that there were some bank holidays, thus no activity for 5 days in a row. Could the virtual machines have somehow gone to sleep/hibernating/standby ?

I am running an sap report that exports to an excel spreadsheet. I want to use save workbook action but it wants a session name. How do I create a session without opening a workbook I don't need?

I am running an sap report that exports to an excel spreadsheet.  I want to use save workbook action but it wants a session name. How do I create a session without opening a workbook I don't need?All I want to do is save the newly created workbook but I get the error "cant find open session" without opening an already existing workbook. If I do that, then AA wants to save that workbook instead of the exported one when I put in the save workbook action. What am I doing wrong?

University beginning questions

Hi, I am just getting started with AA. In the first University class regarding Sequence, Getting Started with Sequence - General - my bot always times out at step 2 where it enters the username. I have tried using both MS Edge and Chrome browsers with same result. It only works if I already have the web page open when I run the bot. Which forum is best for these types of questions?
