I did some research and it says something regarding Java plugins. I am not sure how to install it as all the content is enterprise version(on premise version) and i am using automation 360. Also, it says java plugins are not required if working on Automation 360.

We are trying to update one credential attribute from credential vault using REST API PUT process but after running it , it is giving us the below error - {"code":"optimistic.lock.exception","correctiveAction":"To continue, please try again.","details":"Unable to save your changes because this object may have been edited by someone else.","message":"Unable to save changes"}Can anyone suggest what should we do in order to save the changes, or how can we update variable using another API call ? 

Is data manipulation faster when working with a List variable or a Table variable? For instance, I lets say I have a list of names and I want to compare it to a second list of names to see which ones match. Would it be faster to do these types of comparisons with Lists or Tables? My actual data will be closer to 100,000 rows, so I am concerned about performance. Note: in theory, my data will only contain one column, thus it could (again, in theory) be stored in either a Table or List variable.

I am curious if anyone has integrated A360 with Azure AD for authentication? I know there is general documentation for configuring SAML integration, and an example document for Okta integration, but I am going to be working with a customer and am not an Azure guy. I’d be grateful for even a high-level checklist (on the Azure side), including any caveats or hiccups you ran into, if this is something you’ve done in the past. Edit: I was able to find the following article: https://apeople.automationanywhere.com/s/article/Steps-To-Configure-SSO-Authentication-With-AzureAD-As-IDProvider. Still interested if anyone has encountered any gotchas. 

I attempted to run a bot, but it remained inactive for an extended period, so I decided to click on Cancel.After that, I tried running it again, but I received the following message:User: (user_id) is already running a bot on device: (device_id)I also tried deleting the device, but encountered this message:Cannot delete device, as it is part of an active bot deployment.To resolve the issue, I have attempted the following actions without success:Restarted the "Automation Anywhere Bot Agent" service. Tried to reset the "Automation Anywhere Bot Agent" service, but the service did not appear. Uninstalled and reinstalled the agent. Uninstalled the agent and cleaned the AA folders in the user profile. Restarted the computer. Left the computer shut down (clean shutdown with no sleep or hibernation) overnight.Despite these efforts, the issue remains unresolved.Thank you for your assistance.Best regards.

However if there is "Invoice" word mentioned in Attachment even that email is getting processed even if "Invoice" is inside the attached file the email.

In Power Automate, we receive direct approval requests in Microsoft Teams for the approval process. Similarly, is there a way to receive approval requests in Microsoft Teams when a bot runs in Automation Anywhere, without using Copilot for approvals?

HiSorry if the question appears rudimentary but we need some help urgently. We are trying to upload files in a SOAP web service request using A360 to SAP Ariba. The SOAP web service action doesn’t seem to have any feature to attach any files. RegardsSaptarshi

Hello together! I'm working on a new bot where I have multiple dropdowns.I have to select a value from the dropdown list. Any idea how to do that besides from using the "insert mouse click" function?  TIA 

In the following situation, the number variable when set to 2.28 is indeed 2.28 but when multiplying by 100 (specifically 2.28*100), the result is 227.999999999997. Then when converting to a string, the result is 227. This caused a serious issue with a production bot today.

I am just curious if others have given up on this action working, or have found any scenarios where it is useful? I have had a ticket in since last year and keep hearing “that technology is not fully implemented yet, it will be someday”. Makes me wonder why it is included in the product if it is not ready for prime-time, as I have lost count of the number of customers this causes frustration for.So far it seems anchors only work if you are using AISense Recorder. Otherwise, you get the error below when you click on any element as an anchor, whether you’re using auto-detect or MS UI Automation options:  

I am having an issue getting our third server to work with RDP. We have two servers with another service but we are moving to Azure and have one server setup with them. The RDP works with the old two servers, but I cannot get it to work with the Az one. I have the IP’s I found here whitelisted. Control Room IP addresses for external integrations (automationanywhere.com) No one else is logged in and only one other person has access to the server via an admin account.If I open an RDP session on my local computer, I can then schedule a bot and it can use that RPD session to run. If I use the “regular” auto log-in it also works. The error only happens when I try to run an unattended bot and AA needs to establish the RDP.Error:java.lang.RuntimeException: {"message":"Error creating RDP session.","details":"This may be due to multiple reasons. To continue, please\n\n1. Please check the number of max session count is configured for this machine\n2. Please find out if no one else has RDP on the

I am working on a bot that should be simple, but one part of it is giving me fits. The bot goes out to a public bank site like Chase.com, and downloads the Deposit Account Agreement. I have no problem with navigating to the site, or clicking the appropriate link (there are several arranged by date).   The issue comes in actually saving the PDF. Chrome's PDF viewer uses an embedded bar at the top, so I cannot click on the Download button. The recorder only captures the entire frame:  So this leaves me with a couple of questions. Number one, I am curious if anyone has ever dealt with downloading PDFs like this, and what your solution was for an embedded button. Secondly, I tried to do this via javascript, like so: var urls = document.getElementsByTagName('a'); for (var i = 0; i < urls.length; i++) {  if (urls[i].innerHTML.includes('Deposit Account Agreement')) {   if (urls[i].innerHTML.includes('11/14/2021')) {     urls[i].download = "file.pdf";

Hi,When using the REST Web Services POST method to upload an attachment on ServiceNow, I am continuously getting the following error:{"error":{"message":"Failed to create the attachment. File part might be missing in the request.","detail"},"status":"failure"}I have tested via Postman with exactly the same headers and user credentials, and it works. The service also works via the ServiceNow REST API service.I have tried copying the exact same headers from Postman when it worked, but with no luck. I have also tried different files, as I feel this could be the issue, but I am always getting this error.Any support with this issue would be appreciated.Thanks, Brett

I am working through the Getting Started with the Recorder Package lesson through AAU and attempting to follow along. On step 2 using “capture” in the browser i get this error:“Error occurred while reading browser list from deviceIf the problem persists, please contact your system administrator.”And nothing has worked to fix it. I haven’t changed anything in my browser settings since it was working in the citizen developer path and I am incredibly frustrated with this application. Can you please help me resolve this issue?
