How to Aggregate Records by Summing Amounts in Automation Anywhere?

Hi everyone,I’m new to Automation Anywhere and need help with writing logic to consolidate multiple records by summing their amounts.I have a data file with several records following the same pattern but with different names. For example:Alex Dan 145.33 Alex Dan 1110.00 John Doe 200.50 John Doe 99.50 I want to merge duplicate entries into a single row by summing the amounts:Alex Dan 1255.33 John Doe 300.00 What is the best approach to achieve this in Automation Anywhere? Any guidance or sample bot logic would be greatly appreciated!Thanks in advance!

Can't build after deleting sample commands with SDK 2.5.0?

Hello, I’ve been working with the A360 package SDK for a few months now (among other projects, so not continuously), and have been so far unable to solution for a problem that’s been bothering me quite a bit.  I have had a good bit of success creating my own actions, mostly performing some custom web interactions with Selenium, but for some reason when I try to delete all of the sample commands that come zipped up with the SDK, I lose the ability to build. I narrowed this down to specifically FindMaxMinNumber, and was able to delete the rest of the command classes successfully but the moment I delete this class, my build fails with the following error message: Execution failed for task ':compileJava'.> com.automationanywhere.commandsdk.processing.ProcessingException: Incorrectly typed data found for annotation element public abstract com.automationanywhere.commandsdk.annotations.CommandPkg$Returns[] com.automationanywhere.commandsdk.annotations.CommandPkg.multiple_returns() (Found d

Table record issue

Hi,I am having an odd issue that is driving me crazy and I cant find anything in the documentation that can help explain what is happening.We read in information from an email and dump it to a template excel file where the first row of the template contains the column labels. The bot then reads the excel file in its entirety to a table variable, sorts the data in the table variable and then dumps it out to a csv file using the Table write to file action.Unfortunately on occasion we will get an email with hidden characters in it. This causes the Table write to file action to choke. To get around this i decided to loop through the table instead and use the log to file command which worked great except for one thing. The column labels are not coming over. I tried everything i could think of. I even added a message box with something like $Table[0][0]$ . It did not display the column label. It displayed the value in the row below the column label.

Enter the rejection reason in the corresponding text field. 🔹 Problem:I am struggling to dynamically select the checkbox and input field without selecting the wrong invoice. 🔹 Question:What would be the best strategy to correctly select the checkbox and enter the rejection reason in the row that contains the correct amount?I appreciate any suggestions or experiences you can share.Thanks! 🚀

DEV Control Room Issues

Is anyone else experiencing issues in Dev control room when developing and/or testing bots?I launch a bot to run and keep getting error saying; “Forcefully closed the bot execution due to user stopping it.” And I’m not the one stopping the bot. Naturally there’s no more information than that. ALSO, does anyone know if AA has a link to a page where we can check the status of their cloud services?? It seems there was a maintenance performed on 3/6/2025 for US West and I thought it would be nice if they had a place where you could go to review real time status.

Recorder steps failing across multiple bots

I just wanted to see if anyone has suggestions or thoughts I have not tried yet. Beginning late Wednesday, bots in our production space began failing intermittently when trying to log into websites. They were simply failing to see elements on the page, and randomly - a button here, a drop-down there. It started with 2 bots and then escalated to over a dozen.I confirmed all of these same processes work fine in Dev. They are same code versions, same Chrome versions, same plug-in and Bot Agent versions, and same package versions. I rebooted the production VMs, cleared cache, etc. Logs show me only that the element wasn’t found. I tried recapturing some of the commonly failing Recorder steps, and for some it worked while others still do not.As of this morning, the processes are now all failing in Dev as well. Same issues, random Recorder steps simply not finding the element. I have created a support ticket, and am waiting on a response, but at this point all of production is spotty. Just l

It would be great if you could help me resolve this issue as I have done a lot of work on my login and I'm finding it hard to execute the bots now.  Issue Details:I triggered a bot on 21st December 2022 which executed the code and gave the results that were expected, but the bot struck under "In-Progress" with the status "Pending Execution". Till today, the status remains the same and I couldn't execute that bot again.            My Action: I have created a new bot, copied the code from the old bot to the new one, and executed it.

My bot is failing on a specifically virtual machine

Hello community, I have a situation with a bot. When I run it on a virtual machine with an unattended account, it works, specifically the part where the bot fails. It goes to Google Chrome and when I enter the username, it doesn't enter it and gives me this error [12] Unable to find TEXTBOX. Search Criteria did not match. I think it could be some issue in the browser but I still don't know what it is.
