Process Automation

Hello,  I have developed Document Extraction process, the Start Doc Extraction node is working with Google, problem is that it seems the process is not learning. I have summited the same file a few times and each time it is not extracting anything automatically. Any idea if there is any additional setting to be configured in order to remember the manual inputs from previous submits ?

We often use a!update() function to update dictionary values however, it fails when a dictionary has 2 attributes with different font cases (e.g. label & LABEL) In 21.4 I tried using the a!update() function as below: Input:  { label:"", LABEL:"asdf", label3:"", label4:"asdf"} Rule:  a!update(ri!dict,"LABEL",123) Output:  {label: 123, LABEL: "asdf", label3: "", label4: "asdf"} Is there another function that I can use to avoid this? I do not want to recreate the entire dictionary each time someone updates a single value.

Hi All, I am facing an issue both in expression rule and in oracle database but I am confused like what will be  the reason for this issue. Issue in expression rule: I just want to query data from database and it runs fine for all task id. But it shows me error only for the task id #141. Issue in Oracle database: When I try to retrieve data in one particular view for task #141 it takes more time(more than 5 minutes) to load even for 2 rows but at last the output comes. But when I try for some other task id it takes time less than a minute even it has 1000 rows. Note : The entity I used in expression rule and the view I ran in oracle database are same. Only for task #141 this issue occurs. We checked process instances, it doesn't show any error. Because of the above issue the users are not able to open the task 141 in site, since it loads for several minutes and then loading pauses then loading disappears. Please help me to sort this issue. Thanks in Advance.

Hi, When I debug a process instance, I can see the value changed of my var in the Process history tab of a Process instances. Example : [unit_id=976, info_data= [quantity=50, fk_line_id=, data=[test1=2, test3=3],[test1=4, test3=6]]] Does Appian provide a native way to convert this string to a String expression ?  (replacing "[" by "{",  "=" by ":"  etc ...) A little java program would make the stuff... but I'm just curious about a way inside Appian (maybe using some json functions). Regards

Good day I have a running robot (Windows) that opens a notepad (selects an already open window) and SHOULD copy the first row, but it is not working at all. I have a section that does the following: 1. Clears clipboard 2. Presses SHIFT + DOWN  (uses the press and release action, the modifier key SHIFT, and the extra key DOWN) 3. Presses CTRL + Character: C  (uses the press and release action, the modifier key CTRL, and the extra key Character: C) 4. Pastes the content of the clipboard into a variable The problem is... action #2 does not seem to be working at all!  It is evident that nothing is getting "selected" (should be "painted" in blue) when the robot is executing. I've also tried replacing action #2 for this set of actions: 2a. Press SHIFT (uses the press and HOLD key action with the modifier key SHIFT) 2b. Press END (uses the press and release key action with the key DOWN) 2c. Release SHIFT (uses the RELE

I saw that there is a provision for getting multiple values (array) as output from a decision objects. But, how to configure that? Eg. In my decision If I want List of 4 text strings {A,B,C,D} for Input Integer 1, but when I configure output with comma separated values A,B,C,D It is returning a single string "A,B,C,D". Please see screenshot below: Can someone help? Is there any way to achieve this? Or is making hit policy as Rule first the only way possible to get a proper list output from decision? NB: I DON"T WANT MULTIPLE OUTPUT> I WANT SINGLE OUTPUT AS AN ARRAY!!!

Greetings, I am a starter in Appian RPA and I got stuck in a small place where I am unable to interact with the browser component. The Problem is as follows: My primary objective is to open a website i.e https://zoom.us/signin using the " Open Browser method " under the browser module. Entering Username and password in that website using " Interact with element " method  under browser module Press the sign-in button --- where the problem occurred. In order to press the button, we need to know the name of the element and I am unable to find any name on the inspect page. To try with the tag name I have tried by giving the name of the div in which the button places but yet not working. The common issue that I am getting is "Unable to interact with the element because the component is currently hidden or disabled " I have also tried pressing enter shortcut but I got ERROR:401. SO I am kindly requesting you to help me out in this

Is there any way to automatically generate resources while running RPA processes. I am trying to achieve simultaneous execution of processes.

Hello, so after the update from RPA ver7.11 to 7.12 all of our robotic processes started presenting this issue. I've tried changing the resources, and also entering the jidoka repository, and this came up as well: Does anybody know what's going on? PD: Also noticed, when you create a new robotic process this warning pops up: You can CANCEL or CREATE, but the process is still created regardless of your choice. Thanks in advance for your time reading this!!

Hello, I'm reading a record that contains a text field I'd like to have listed in an array. However, the array should only have unique values, so if that text is already in there, I don't need to add it again. I've written this.  a!localVariables( local!arrayOfMakes, a!forEach( items: a!queryRecordType( recordtype: recordType!KD VM Vehicle, fields: recordType!KD VM Vehicle.fields.make, pagingInfo: a!pagingInfo( startindex: 1, batchSize: 50) ).data[recordType!KD VM Vehicle.fields.make], expression: if( contains(local!arrayOfMakes, fv!item), null, append(local!arrayOfMakes, fv!item) ) ) ) It returns what I think I need, but it's not unique. Here's part of the output. Further down you would see that it has several entries for the same make.  All ideas are appreciated!

Hi all I currently am playing around with a community site to test out RPA capabilities, see if it works and provide proof of concept. I downloaded the configurator and I am trying to play with the robot source code to see if we can achieve certain functionalities.  I completed all the steps in the configurator except the last part where they ask for a Console Repository and maven api key.  I can get the api key, but I can't get an url for the repository.  How can I get the url for the console repository for a community site?  Thank you, Saeed
