Meet ERIC

ERIC is our tool for ensuring that students have the correct access rights for our Training Camps and Challenges. It is a small diagnostic tool which runs the Automation Anywhere components you’ll need for the Camp/Challenge. This means that typically, ERIC will beed to be run on a Bot Runner machine within your corporate network.
 

How to Use ERIC

Step 1: After you’ve received the login details to the Control Room from community@automationanywhere.com, you will need to login. Once you login navigate to the “Automation” link in the left menu. In the Public workspace you should see this:

 

Step 2: From here, clone the ERIC process by clicking the 3 dots to the righthand side of ERIC and clicking on the first icon called “clone process.”

 

Step 3: Ensure you’ve connected a device to the Control Room (this could be a local or a remote one).

 

Step 4: Then in the private workspace, copy the process.

 

Step 5: Open the copied ERIC process, and press “Run.”

 

Step 6: ERIC will ask for some basic details (Name and Email) so we can test to make sure forms are working correctly. At this step, enter your data and press submit.

Step 7: ERIC will then run through the process steps. At the end, please click on the “Results - Please Share” task and IF YOU RECEIVE ANY ERRORS, please email us at community@automationanywhere.com and share the data in the text area with us so we can troubleshoot.

I’m checking this out and seeing something that does not align with instructions. Running my copy of Eric (I cloned from public, copied private, then run my copy) and this is what I see. It runs for quite a long time, and when

Immediately after starting, I get this pop-up…

I follow thru on those instructions, and I observe the bot runner at 80% for a few minutes,

 

What path is expected? What is my next step with completely this?

In addition to this, do I have to be uninstalling the bot agent every time I go to do training, and then switch back to work? It warned me about being connected to a control room already, which is what I wanted. I just wanted to run using my work bot creator control room. But it would not let me proceed with that.

Hi Team, 

"Bot Runner JavaScript" Status is getting failed. I reinstalled the agent and closed the browser and reopened. Tried with Chrome and edge browsers. Extensions enabled and Device status is connected. Still facing the error. Am I missing something? 

 


Forum|alt.badge.img

Hello there, I registered my community edition and setup the credentials and as well connected the bot agents. However, I could not see the Public folder view or the “AI Training camps” under “Bots” ? pls advise.

Hi ​@vignesh 7322,

APA Training Camp is not used in the Community Edition.

You should have received an E-Mail with a new CR login credentials.

URL to new CR similar to this one:

https://aa-devx-sbx.cloud.automationanywhere.digital/#/dashboard/home/overview

 

“Check your email for your credentials from community@automationanywhere.com. Not in your inbox? Check your spam. Not there? Email us!”

 

Cheers

Marc
