Error in Installation of bot agent

Hi have been facing issue in connecting the bot. The bot is throwing this error when I tried to install the bot. Can anyone tell me if I have to reinstall the software in my laptop and try again? It’s weird to see that the bot connected the previous day asked for an update and now I’m facing this issue. How to trouble shoot this.

Access to credential vault fails when called from AARI, succeeds when launched manually

Hi everyone, I have created a bot that processes some CSV files, and then email the results.The credentials for the EMail components are stored in a credential vault.When I launch the bot from the control room (Run task bot), it will work correctly.However, if I want to launch it from AARI, the EMail send fails with this error : “ There was an error in sending the email message. Please check your connection details provided and try again. “ → I assume the bot runner has no access to the credential vault.However, in both cases the user bot.runner is used, it has access to the locker, there is no specific configuration or difference.Did anyone ever face the same error ?

Black screen instead of screenshots

Hi everyone, I have an AARI process and bots running on production for six months. The AARI process displays screenshots at the end of the bot.I have just encountered an error : all the screenshots, in AARI or in the runner are all black screen. Note that the bots ran normally (with some errors related to screen interaction) and logs were written down.Did anyone ever face a similar error ?The only explanation I may have is that there were some bank holidays, thus no activity for 5 days in a row. Could the virtual machines have somehow gone to sleep/hibernating/standby ?

Get Table is producing strange results

Hello- When I use the Get Table command for a table using the Recorder > Capture option in an application called Success Factors I get results that are not visible.  For example, If I have the below one record (my record) in the search results… I see this one record on the Webpage: However, the table returned to Automation Anywhere has a bunch of data for employees that are not visible on the webpage.  I realize that the webpage is probably suppressing these in the background but how do I only access the results that are visible?  Seems a little odd…..  Is there some type of property I am missing or can set to only see visible records?

Automation 360 (MV3) Plugin in Edge Gets Disabled Automatically

I am experiencing an issue where the Automation 360 (MV3) plugin in Microsoft Edge gets disabled automatically at times.Yesterday, the plugin was enabled and working fine, but today it was disabled, which affected the scheduled run. I did not manually disable it, and I am unsure what is causing this behavior.Has anyone else encountered this issue? What could be the possible reasons behind the plugin getting disabled automatically? Are there any settings or configurations that might prevent this from happening?Thanks.

Document Extraction: Extract Data Package - Status 425 "Image processing error"

As of late last week 5/30, I’ve noticed the Document Extraction action for Extract Data is failing with a status 425 error due to image processing error with my task bots process. I’ve never encountered this error before till recently. No changes have been made to the learning instance, task bot or user roles. Also, this action package has the latest package update 3.36.10. Status Code: 425Status Message: IMAGE_PROCESSING_ERRORStatus: DW_EXTRACT_FAILUREThe consumed documents are always pdf files that meets specs per Automation Anywhere criteria. Prior to this, that extraction always provided a status 200 with the extract outputs. Now they are mostly 425 status error although few document extractions are 200. Is anyone experiencing issues with status 425 error?

Performing a print screen with Browser Automation package

I am currently working on the automation of a third-party app. At one point I need to perform a print screen on two of the pages to capture the customer’s visit information. Most other portals I use for this process have a “print screen” button in the UI, but this one does not.I am using the Browser Automation package, and am first running a window.print() through javascript, after which I just send the Enter key to click the “Print” button on the pop up dialog. I then get the Windows SaveAs (only printer is Print2PDF) and can continue. This is all working, however window.print() treats the pop up dialog as blocking, so I have a timeout of 30 seconds before it moves on to the sendkeys action. I then have another 30 seconds before it sends the Enter key (just Simulate Keystrokes action), so I am losing a total of 60 seconds on each page needing printing. I could have up to a dozen pages per run.Thus far, I have tried skipping the javascript and just doing Simulate Keystrokes on the page

Problems with sharepoint package

I am not able to use the actions of the sharepoint package, I can even make the connection, but in the actions of obtaining data from folders and files and performing copying, downloading and uploading I receive a permission error. I believe it could be the path of the folders I'm trying to use, but I've tried several formats and the error still persists. any idea how to solve it? I have already contacted the team that releases the Azure app and all permissions are released and configured as requested by AA. When authenticating, if I DO NOT select the "teams site" option, the following error appears:Houve falha na API do SharePoint. Veja os detalhes abaixo.Status: 403Details: {"error":{"code":"-2147024891, System.UnauthorizedAccessException","message":{"lang":"pt-PT","value":"Acesso negado."}}} but if I activate the "teams site" option the error changes, but I can't find the correct way to inform the folder paths: ways that I have already tested in actions Houve falha na API do SharePo

アクション：画像認識のエラーについて

画像認識のアクションのエラーについての相談になります。Windows11に更新した後に、画像認識のアクションでエラーが発生するようになりました。エラーメッセージは、”画像が見つかりません。画像が画面に存在していることを確認してからもう一度お試しください。”となっていますが、対象の画像は画面に存在しています。エラーが起きる状況は、Bot RunnnerでBotのスケジュール実行を対象のパソコンを閉じている状態で実行した場合です。リモート接続で対象のパソコンの画面を見れる状態で同様に実行した場合は、エラーが起きずに正常に動作します。PCの解像度は更新前と同じ状態になっており、原因が把握できておりません。何か他に思い当たる原因や解決策をご教示頂けますと幸いです。

Migration from IQ bot to Document Automation due to IQ bot deprecation

 Hi everyone,I am currently working on migrating from IQ bot to document automation due to the deprecation of IQ bot. I have encountered a challenge while doing import and export with the instance extension. Our current setup uses the “iqba” extension, but document automation requires the “dw” extension.Can someone guide me on the proper steps to handle this migration, especially how to switch or update the required instance extension. Are there any best practices or official documentation available for a smooth transition including handling previously trained IQ bot learning instances as there are 1000+ formats already trained in IQ bot and redoing all from scratch sems like an unnecessary task.Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks.
