Robotic Process Automation (RPA)

Hi,  I am using a windows machine and while trying to use the Task Recorder on Appian RPA I am not able to select the Application. There is too much white space in between. I can see that the SELECT APPLICATION dropdown is at the bottom if I forcibly move the popup window at the top. I cannot resize this window (pop-up) nor I can drag it enough at the top for me to select the application. I see the issue on both of these versions.  Appian Version 22.3 Appian RPA 8.5.0 Appian Version 22.4 Appian RPA 8.7.0 I didn't face this issue earlier.. This may have happened in last 2-3 months with latest upgrade possibly. Is it just me or everyone is facing the same issue. I have already raised it with Appian thanks jaideep

I am experiencing an anomaly in the behaviour of the proxy once the Appian RPA config file has been set up on the machine hosting the Agent for Appian RPA itself. Although the config file has been compiled correctly, appianRPA's "autologin" service to the proxy doesn't work. The proxy popup is not handled autonomously, but, when opening any URL on Chrome, one has to fill in the fields manually and click Login. Following the official documentation of AppianRPA (docs.appian.com/.../agents.html, section "Generate config file") the config file is correctly set. Furthermore, also following the official documentation (docs.appian.com/.../manage-robots-installation-config.html, section "Configure a proxy for the auto-login service"), the management of the AppianRPA auto-login service has also been set correctly by following all the steps (environment variables, section "Log On" of the Auto-Login service).How can i fix this problem?

Hi Team, We are Aware of all the Robot Status but whenever we execute a bot its going in enqueue mode. The data process successfully but we are not getting data in variables because of enqueue status of bot.  We are using these variable but getting empty value because of which its going into failure. Also we are not able to deleted the enqueue record from robot dashboard. Can someone please help here why its happening .

Hi Appian folks, I want to capture the screenshot from a running video and later send it to API. How can I capture it from a video using RPA modules? I tried doing this with Windows Automation modules. I captured a screenshot by "Send Screenshot" module. How can I get the screenshot from execution log to Appian?

Hi All, We are trying to build new RPA use case to open browser and download file and bringing back to Appian. Earlier the robitc task was working fine with below browser and driver versions.  Browser: Chrome  (121.0.6167.161) Driver Version: 121.0.6167.85 After the chrome got upgraded the robotic task is not able to launch brower with the below browser & driver version:  Browser: Chrome  (121.0.6167.185) Driver Version: 121.0.6167.184 Robotic task is failing with below error: [INFO] 2024-02-21 05:23:03 03s (0h) - Browser version: 121.0.6167.185, Driver version: 121.0.6167.184[INFO] 2024-02-21 05:23:03 03s (0h) - WebDriver file is out of date.

Hello, I'm new on Appian and recently started learning JAVA and RPA as a junior developer. So I started following the Calculator Tutorial (I used Intellij) and after running the command mvn clean deploy in the last step I got this message on the command prompt: So I assumed everything was right. But when I went to test the robotic task (I changed the name to "Calculator-Tutorial") nothing happened. I'm sorry if perhaps this is too obvious but i really don't understand why it is not opening the calculator.

Hi All, Good day!  I have a robotic task which automates excel activities like sort,filter,insert rows & so no. For each action, I have created a sub robotic task. Based on the input (robotic task variable), I need to call the specific subtask and perform excel activities. Example: If my input variable actionName = "sort", then I need to call robotic subtask of sort operation. As of now I could find only If Conditional check in Robotics Actions, which is causing too much delay in processing as it traverses if conditions one-by-one. How can we call a robotic subtask dynamically?Can we implement a logic that works as a switch case in Appian RPA? Kindly let me know for any work arounds

Hi Appian, I want to download the Appian files automatically which is consist in Knowledge Center and also wants to move the files from Appian Knowledge Center to Local System.? How. Or If we can get the knowledge center files to be processed in Appian RPA? How

I would like my RPA to return the CDT the CDT variables to the process model. My RPA has array of CDT which has following in it:[{item1=value1,item2=value2, item3=value3}, {...} ,...] this CDT has dynamic row. Could you tell me what I should do for it?

I get the above error when I try to record the RPA Robotic Task, it fails to find the driver. Has anyone faced this situation and knows how to overcome it ? Thanks Neil

Hi, I am developing a custom java RPA module .While setting up developing environment I am facing issues with getting below parameters . 1. appian_username ,maven_API_key . This is to configure maven. Setting.xml<server><id>jidoka</id><username>appian_username</username><password>maven_API_key</password></server> Appina veersion : 23.4I am following below link to setting up environmentdocs.appian.com/.../maven-setup.html Could you tell me how to solve it.

I have a subtask that receives a text variable from the parent in the input and is meant to return 2 variables in the output, an AppianDocument and the name of said document as a Text variable. I have logs put in place to see the results of the expressions that run the queries necessary to fetch the document and it's name. And the logs return the following:[WARN] 2023-12-01 13:08:03 01m 26s (0h) - com.novayre.jidoka.client.api.appian.documents.AppianDocument@5ec6for the log that just returns the Appiandocument pv!Document variable. [WARN] 2023-12-01 13:12:50 55s (0h) - Got Document SEC_195818008_08for the log that returns the string "Got Document" & pv!DocName. But the variables in the console appear as null and as a "" string respectively. As if they never got casted. And when I want to return the variables to the parent robotic task, it returns an error. [ERROR] 2023-12-01 13:12:51 55s (0h) - Error executing action [robotic-subprocess->exitV2]java.lang.

I am developing browser automation for a website, using xPaths as the element selector for browser interactions. Whenever the website I am working on gets updated, the element xPaths change randomly. Is there any way to overcome this issue, or do I have to test and modify the browser action xPaths every time there is an update to the website?

Hello, I am unable to log in to my Appian Community site.I was working on it yesterday, but today, when I attempted to log in, it showed an invalid username and password.I have also entered the correct username and password, but I am still unable to log in.Does anyone have information about this issue?

Good morning,I would like to find a way to automatically clean up the execution list in the RPA environment; do you have any suggestions? I would like to delete not only completed executions, but also those with status failure. Thank you,Nicola

Hi Team, I am looking for a Appian RPA tool. Can anybody guide me . From where shall i able to download it.

While I am working on RPA recording in excel file it's showing some error like unsupported element dataitem.interaction  won't be recorded  

My robot continuously shows an offline status.I am unable to use the task recorder for robotic tasks. Even after reinstalling the 'installer' multiple times, the robot goes offline again while I am working on the task recorder.What should I do in this situation?

Good evening, First of all, the robotic task can access to the virtual machine and the agent turns blue which means that everything is working but...I'm struggling to find a proper solution to the error thrown by the robotic execution (as shown in the picture below). Does anyone know to fix it?

When I am trying to fill a dropdown component in an Appian form using Appian RPA I am getting the following error in execution log of the RPA  The element (By.xpath: /html/body/div[1]/div[1]/main/div/div/div[1]/div/div/div/div/div/div[1]/div/div/div/div/div[2]/div[2]/div/div/div[2]/div[1]/div[2]/div/div[1]/div/div[2]/div/div/span) could not be interacted with because the component is currently disabled or hidden. Any help regarding this would be highly appreciated.

Hi team! I have created a Robotic Task for automatic input in RPA, and it works fine when I test the Robotic Task, and when I run the process with Execute Robotic Task in the Process Model, the Robotic Task works fine as well. However, when I go to the Operation Console and click on Test Connection in the Manage Connection of the robot running the Robotic Task, the following error occurs: Error: Active user sessionUnable to sign in because the resource has an active session. Sign out from the active session and try again. Troubleshooting does not tell me how to sign out from the active session exactly. My understanding is that if I can sign in with this, the robotic task will start automatically. Can anyone help me with a solution?

Hi, I am making an Interface in Appian where I have to show RPA Recourse Status(I.e. If Bot is online then: Online, if Offline then :Offline, if Disabled then status will be show Disabled ).Is it possible to fetch the resource current status and display ?

Hi Team, while running unattended automation, Bot/resource frequently going in disabled mode & we have to manually check, make it enable then its goes to running mode again.we are not able to rectify why Bot/Resource is behaving like this and our bot/Resource is not running in fullest unattended mode Thanks Manish
