Process Automation

Hi, We have a requirement to generate a document which contains some information of a user that needs to be encoded by the guidelines provided. We need to format the value in such a way that it's length remains fixed always which is provided to us. So any value which has less digits than the required number of digits should be formatted like for eg: If the input is 1250000 and the max limit is 20, then it should be encoded as 00000000000001250000. How can we do that, thanks in advance.

We have integrated the automated rule testing to our CI/CD pipeline. We are using a!startRuleTestsApplications to start the test. We notice on an average the entire test takes under 15 mins to complete, but on occasions the test takes a long time and we ultimately have to kill the build.  Want to know how I can debug this. Unable to find anything in the tomcat logs. Is there any debug log I can enable to check where the test execution is stuck?

Hello guys,We're dealing it some issue on attempting this:Right now with find() function or exact() you can't achieve the following:Let's say we have an e-mail with this phrase "I am an idealist", and on the other hand we have a key defined as: "ideal", right now because the body considers all the text, if you try with find(), the output is true because it finds "ideal" on "I am an [ideal]ist", and the exact() will not work as well because "I am an idealist" is not the same as "ideal", even if the key was "idealist" it will output false as well. Any ideas?

Hi all, I'm following the tutorial RPA Tutorial: Parse Excel Files to learn how to retrieve files from a resource. From this example, I'm using my pc as resource. In one speficic documentation steps, there is the note If you’re using your own desktop as your resource, do not use your mouse or keyboard while the test is running. So, when I launch  the robotic process, I don't touch my mouse or my keyboard. So, system gives me the expected results for file properties, but, when I move the mouse, to read it, it appears a pop up with a message error. I try however to configure the process and I receive another error with request status ENQUEUED. Which could the problem be?  Thanks in advance. Regard, Juri Monti

Hi all, The title basically describes it. I'd like to be able to apply filters on a list of maps on their key values. For example in the code snippet below, to be able to set filter("name","=",bill) or filter("name", "not null"). Similar to a!queryEntity but for a collection of map instead of a Entity   a!localVariables( local!mapCollection: { a!map(name: "bill"), a!map(name: "bob"), a!map(name: "Jim"), a!map(name: null) } ) Also be able to apply operands like and and or if there are multiple key values in the map collection

I have following code in my expression rule, its giving the data correctly but when i apply sorting it is working fine for all the other fields but for the fields: "Headlines" and "ArticlePostDate" it shows empty data, doesn't return any data. These two are the fields that are not part of the main table and i am referencing it from another table that could be the cause that its not showing any data when I apply sorting in them. Can anyone please help what to do in this scenario.
