Robotic Process Automation (RPA)

Hi All,  I am trying to read data from Web Application using Get Attribute Functionality with the help of a CSS selector. When I see the logs, the bot was able to find the element in the first attempt but it is unable to read and send the value to Appian RPA console. The log messages tells me that " User-UUID header field is not provided found for resource /api/v1/evaluate".  Can someone please advise me on this functionality. thanks

I'm newbie to RPA and MVN. Not sure I fully understand the workflow when working with JAVA outside of RPA. It is my understanding that once the robot is created an export is being downloaded to my machine which  I can customized and deploy using "mvn clear deploy" command.  However, if I make changes to the robot on the Appian side in the workflow editor, how do these changes get reflected in my project ? Is there similar pull/checkout command ? 

When a robot is generated a package is being downloaded with a Maven project.  How can I re-export this package later during the life cycle of the robot  (with updated content) ? The export robotic process button in the top bar of the configuration page exports different package format. Thanks

Import .side file into workflow. New workflow looks good. Save changes. Reload workflow. Old workflow is back. Please advise

As of today Appian RPA 7.8 is now generally available! Simply open a support case to request a site restart and you will get the latest version. Look here for more details!

Hi All, I'm trying to build a use case where a bot needs to fill in an Appian Form from a Site. I have used browser low code module to achieve this. However I see an issue while choosing a value from dropdown field. I have been using XPATH to fill in the form fields and it works in all the use cases except for dropdowns. Below is the options I have chosen Selector: XPATH Interaction: Select dropdown choice by visible text Looks like the a!dropdownField() is not recognized as a dropdown by the RPA browser module's select dropdown by index/visible text. Any suggestions on how to handle this? Thanks, Arjun.

Hi All, We have written the code for a keyword driven framework in eclipse. When we are trying to deploy the method in RPA from eclipse, we get the message "deployed successfully/build successfully" in eclipse CatLog  but few methods that are having return type are not getting reflected in RPA console. Thus our query is to confirm whether there is any possibility to deploy a class into RPA from eclipse or methods with return types? Thanks and Regards, Pragya Dwivedi

Is there any way to catch the exception thrown during execution by the Bot in Appian RPA? I need to take some action in case exception occurs via any component of low code. For example Bot is performing Click on Element action on 10 -15 buttons in web page and No Such Element thrown for one of the element on agent, so I want to send customize email with exception trace. In java code we can achieve this by using try catch but need to see how appian catches low code component exception. Regards, Mukesh  

Hi, Do we have any method available to change the queue status as "Pending" when the Bot starts.  I don't wan't to update the queue status manually on each run specially when bot triggers from scheduler automatically. Regards, Mukesh
