Old indices error while updating control room from V27

Hi everyone,I have updated a control room that was on v24R2 to v27 without errors.For context, the control room, database and elasticsearch are installed on the same windows VM.I now want to update it from v27 to v30 but I get an error “Installer has detected that there are ElasticSearch indices that are old and cannot be migrated automatically. Setup will abort”. I want to follow what has been explained hereHowever, I fail connecting to elasticsearch while it was possible beforehand -I have tried ports 47599, 47600, 9200, 9300)When I go to the services, the Elastic Search service is shown active. It keeps on failing even I restart process.On the other hand, the main website can still be reached and bots be run. How can I solve this problem ?

Python logging module not logging anything

The logging module is not working when invoke from AA. Here is a simple code that I try to run but nothing gets log to log file. I did make sure that all privileges on the file are properly set. Any idea why this would not work? We do run a lot of python code without any problems but this small snippet is not working and not returning an error either and this is a pretty simple python script. import loggingdef log_test():logging.basicConfig(filename="C:/temp/test.log", level=logging.DEBUG)  logging.info('This message should also go to the log file')

A360 Unable to Rename Task bots

Hi, Using A360 and have a number of task bots in production (Public) running on an unattended license. Reviewing all the options and articles, all suggest that by Checking out a bot in public folder, logging on a creator machine, i should be able to Rename the Task bot. - this is not the case. The only way i found this possible is by : cloning / copying in private the bot - renaming and checking it back in. - but by doing this the Bot ID changes and all the Monitoring(External BI) against the bots that have been running with the old name will not carry over with the new executions. Has anyone encountered this? if so / is there a box to tick somewhere to allow rename upon checkout?

AARI Form Table

Hi All,I need help with building an AARI Form that includes a table. The table should have 4 columns: the first 3 columns should be non-editable, and only the last column should be editable.Currently, to make the table editable, I have to select the checkbox “Include table action,” which provides a bunch options to add, delete and move rows. However, I don't need these options. I just want the last column to be editable.How can I set this up?

Run macro command - Pop-up problem

Hi everyone,I have a question about excel advanced run macro command. I would appreciate it if someone who knows answer.I am building a bot that will open an excel sheet, run a macro and close it again. But a pop-up appears while the macro is running.Since this pop-up is opened within the run macro command, the bot doesn’t move on to the next action. So capture or keystrokes actions don't work.Is there another option I can do with AA?* pop-up: "A file named already exists in this location. Do you want to replace it?"Can I prevent this pop-up from appearing with a macro code?Thanks in advance.
