Issues with Clear Browser Cache Bot from Bot Store

Hello everyone,I’m Darshan Hiranandani, We recently downloaded the Clear Browser Cache Bot from the Bot Store and tested it in our non-production environment. The goal was to clear cache and browsing history, as described in the documentation, but unfortunately, it seems to be doing much more than expected.Here’s what’s happening:The AA 360 extension gets disabled. Bookmarks are deleted. The entire user profile seems to be reset, and when Chrome is launched again, it shows the “Welcome to Chrome” message, as if the browser has never been used before.This unexpected behavior is making the bot difficult, if not impossible, to use in its current form. Has anyone else encountered this issue? We’re hoping to find a way to throttle back the bot’s actions and limit its impact to just clearing cache and history.Any insights or workarounds from the community would be greatly appreciated!Thanks in advance!RegardsDarshan Hiranandani

Struggling with the WLM API

I am trying to test using the WLM APIs, and am encountering some interesting issues, wondering if anyone else has encountered similar. I can authenticate and get a token just fine. I can also run endpoints like v3/wlm/queues/{id}/consumers just fine.My end goal is to add a new work item to the queue. I can capture information about an existing work item through v3/wlm/queues/{id}/workitems/{workItemID}, but attempting to add a new work item with v3/wlm/queues/{id}/workitems simply returns a 404 resource not found. Same queue, so can’t see it being permissions.The queue is just for testing, so has a single column: PayerID. So the json returned from querying one of the existing work items looks like this:{ "json": { "PayerID": "12345679" }}When trying to add a new work item, not sure why it is not finding the resource. Note, I am adding it in as shown below because the docs show it is expecting an int64, but just for kicks I tried entering 8675309 as a string as well - no jo

Hi,RPA developes has designed multiple bots to automate the tasks but there are challenges to monitor those bots. The major challenge is how to monitor stuck jobs. We do not want any manual monitoring via control room. Any job is stuck it should email us sothat rpa developers could fix the issues.We do not want any manual monitoring at all. would you be able to assist us.

How To Loop Clicking a Button

So I have a table that I need to select each invoice download one at a timeAs you can see, there are also page numbers that I have to click through to continue through the table.I have already looped the pages, and I have also created a variable that will tell me how many rows are in that table, and set my loop-within-a-loop to iterate as many times as there are rows on that page. So all of that is ready to go. The part I’m not sure how to do is I need to click each download button one at a time, and then read the contents of the invoice, THEN put that into a variable. I know how to have read the invoices, and put those contents into a variable, what I’m wondering is how to essentially tell the loop to click the same amount of times as there are rows, but click the different download each time. And keep the loop from continuing to the next button until the page has been read and put into a variable.Thoughts?

Bot unable to deploy on local device for debugging. Deployment settings greyed out.

Hi all,I’ve been unable to connect to my local device on my BOT CREATOR license recently.I can clearly see my device is connected from my CR to my local device.When I try run a simple message box bot as a test, it keeps throwing this error. I am sure that the ID and Password is 100% correct. I read a solution article that it might be due to deployment settings, but this is greyed out.I have admin access and can toggle other devices.

Using the loop function to process cell values in a column of a CSV file

Hi All,I working on creating a bot to process a cell value in a single column in an CSV document, F2, and once that processing is complete the bot would go to the next cell below, F3, in that column until there is an empty cell.I started with an example CSV doc with values in cells F2 and F3, and after the opening the file in line 4, I set used the Get multiple cells function to get multiple cells and store those two values in the table titled TABLEofHSIPNos.  With the loop function it looks like I set it up to loop through the each row of the TABLEofHSIPNos and record the values in HSIPNoFromTable. However from here, I don’t understand how to use the above steps to, for example, create a message bot that would process each of value in the column from cell F2 to F[# of cells that contain a value] (which could be up to 100).  I would appreciate any advice on how to use the loop to process each individual cell values from F2 - F[N] in an CSV.

Deployment Setting Keeps Changing from RDP to Regular Automatically — Causing Bot Failures

Hi everyone,We’re experiencing an issue in our Control Room where the Deployment Settings for some devices are automatically switching from "RDP" to "Regular".We haven’t made any manual changes, but this setting seems to revert on its own quite frequently. Due to this change, bots that rely on the RDP configuration are failing to execute properly. Why this automatic switch might be happening? Any suggestions to lock or enforce the deployment type to RDP? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

F1 Score

I have seen a question from ​@ChanduMohammad on getting High F1 score. And the answer provided by ​@Matt.Stewart was spot on. After reading this, I have some additional questions.   Dataset Size Calibration: How do we identify when a dataset size is "too small" or "too large" for NER tasks, especially in terms of diminishing returns in accuracy? What metrics, aside from F1 score, might indicate an optimal dataset size? Data Preparation Techniques: Are there specific tools or software recommended for automating ground truth labeling in NER datasets? How can ambiguous cases in the labeling process be handled to improve consistency and reduce bias? Dataset Diversity: Is there a way to quantify dataset diversity effectively, and how might this correlate with model performance? For real-world applications, how can we ensure diversity without introducing noise or irrelevant data? Model Evaluation: How do NER models behave when tested on entirely unseen dataset classes?
