Now Available: RPA Central 2.4.0 and Bot 17.4.0

Hi, Everyone, I wanted to let you know that our latest release is live. Check out the blog on the new Role-based Access feature. And as always see the release notes for details about what's included in this release. Note that if you had bots going offline or botflows being queued in prior versions of RPA Central and Bot, I highly urge you to upgrade all bots to 17.4 and your server to 2.4. Upgrading everything is also recommended if you intend to use the new Participant role. Thanks,MikeRPA Product Manager

Windows Updates/RPA Central & Bots

I'm curious how other users are automating the process to ensure the bots remain online or ready when patches or windows updates are installed.  We have everything configured to restart after an update.  However, the bots don't always reconnect to the RPA Central server.  I've tried using a  batch script to restart the RPA Central service and then Bot service, but this not working either.    Any suggestions?

Cyrillic support

Hello! I was setting up the Nintex Bot and faced to issue. When I put value with Cyrillic letters into "Send value" Task, an example "Тест", Nintex will put it as "Òåñò". Is it possible to solve it?

Start botflow from external source

Hello, In the near term, we're going to be upgrading from Foxtrot 15.0.3 to the latest Nintex RPA available. With Foxtrot, we're able to start the rpa scripts from an external scheduling tool via the Foxtrot command line options. I've heard that initially command line support wasn't implemented into Nintex RPA or RPA Central, but this forum post suggested that the feature gap was going to be bridged in a few months (over a year ago): https://community.nintex.com/t5/Nintex-RPA-Forum/RPA-Central-Command-Line-Launch/m-p/108687 I know you can trigger botflows through NWC, and NWC has an API that we could use to start the workflows. However, I'd hate to be required to consume 2 "flow" licenses, just to start a botflow. Other than NWC, is there currently a way to start botflows from an external source? Thank you

RPA Main task not starting automatically

I have an RPA Botflow I've been working on for a while, but had to put aside for a week. I've just come back to it and found that a) the bot was offline, which I fixed, and b) when the botflow kicks off, the bot loads on the screen but doesn't actually start the main task. I have to manually kick it off.Not sure if this a setting in the botflow or an issue with the software.Please advise.

Nintex RPA on AWS Workspace

Hi All,  I'm running Nintex RPA and have chosen to use an AWS workspace so the automation can run 24-7 in the background and execute when scheduled. The schedule functions works well however I'm getting some strange inconsistencies.  Sometimes the automation executes when it reaches its scheduled time (often when my pc is logged into the AWS workspace) however sometimes when my AWS workspace is not logged it - it will just show as 'queued' or 'running'. I will then have to terminate each separate automation and reset the entire bot to let it run smoothly. I have had instances in the past when the AWS workspace isnt logged in and the automation runs fine. The process just seems to be slightly inconsistent at present.  The question is how do I get the robot to run effectively in the background (ie on this AWS workspace) and actually execute automatically at its scheduled time.  All help appreciated!  Kindest Ashley

Restarting a Botflow after an error

Hello,   I am just wondering if this is an issue for me or the following is normal.  In the event that a published Botflow stops/fails, we normally would go into the Bot to see what the issue was.  It could be as simple as the date that was being entered in a date field was missing a digit.  In that case, the date would be adjusted and the Botflow would be kicked off again from the Bot.  We recently upgraded to version Bot 17.0.6/RPA Central 2.0.5.  Now when the failure occurs, I am unable to kick the script off after a failure. I am however able to use the down arrow to step through the process. I end up having to close everything and then restart it from RPA Central.  Thanks in advance!

botflow set to run 1 time instead of Records 1 to end

When I load the data for a botflow it is only setting itself to Run 1 Time.  I want it to run all the records I load but I am going to run it using RPA central so I do not want to have to change that manually.  Is there a way to change the default to run all instead of run once?   Only happens if I ask  the botflow to load excel into a database.  ('open data')

RPA interactions with websites

Is it common to have issues with interactions with websites and Nintex RPA?  We're having inconsistent results related to interactions with websites and I wanted to confirm if other people are having the same issue.  I've used Internet Explorer, Google Chrome (with Nintex add-on), and Microsoft Edge. I built a bot on my local workstation but when I transfer the ownership to another user and they try to run it on their local workstation, the targets are off.  I also tried using a static environment of a bot server with one "bot" user (to avoid user permission issues), and still have intermittent issues with website interactions and targeting.   We recently upgraded from Nintex RPA 16.5.5 to Nintex Bot 17.0.6 which I had expected to resolve most of our targeting problems but it hasn't.  Is this a common issue with using websites with Nintex Bot? Our goal is to build the bots and transfer ownership to the departments for them to run the bots themselves.

Click Actions - Cannot Find target

I am currently coding RPA to send an email using Outlook on Chrome. When I try creating the email, entering text into the body, To, etc., and attaching files, RPA sends me the message "cannot find target" about half of the time. I am using clicks for things such as clicking on the "new message" button or adding a file. I can recode it and run it again and it works fine, but then when i try retesting times it errors out. It also errors out sometimes when I send the "body" message or the "To" about half the time. I tried things like adding wait times to see if it was a loading issue and recoding it, but it didnt fix the problem.  Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Botflow Organization

Is there a way or will there be a way to organize botflows into folders? As we start to build out botflows, we're seeing that it could be potentially problematic for users to scroll through hundreds of botflows to select the one that they need to run. It would be nice if we could designate folders to store the published botflows to so that departments could go to their specific folder(s) to access their botflows and limit the possibility of them selecting the wrong botflow.

Foxtrot Installation - Options other then RDP

Good morning,    Just looking for input as to how others deal with RPA Scripts not running if RDP sessions are not active?  We currently have one main RPA server and then from that server we create 4 separate RDP sessions that run all the scripts.  If those RDP sessions get closed for any reason, chaos ensues!  I did find the solution that includes changing some registry settings so the RD will not switch to a GUI-less mode.  However,  I am wondering if anyone is setup in a way that does not include RDP sessions?  Thanks in advance!

Nintex RPA Formula Question

Wondering if someone can help me figure out the following:   I have a variable that could populate with various information such as "1K to 3.5K" or "1K to 10K".  The goal would be that if this variable includes anything under 10K, or less, another field is populated with 1K to 10K.  I tried to use the "ContainsNumber" and IsLess formulas but I can't figure out how to put them together. There is probably another way I should be creating this statement so I thank you in advance for helping me out.

Mouse click on Date picker (Chrome / webapp)

Just wondering if any of you guys may have a suggestion on dealing with an issue I'm experiencing trying to automate an administration item on a webapp.  The webApp has a date picker control that does not allow a date to be typed in, but forces the user to click on a date. When you click on the calendar control a 'calendar' appears to allow the selection of a date on the screen.    The issue is that the control disappears anytime the screen looses focus.  When I try to put in a target in RPA to target the date that I'm trying to select and  execute a Click, the action fails.   Has anyone experienced a similar situation and developed a way to manage this type of control?   Thanks

RPA Central - backup of botflows

We just upgraded to RPA Central and we used to keep backup versions of Foxtrot scripts in a network location. Now that we're on RPA Central any user with Admin access can delete a botflow.  If a botflow is deleted, is there a location we can go to retrieve it?  How should we create backups of our botflow scripts?

How to loop through files in a folder without creating a list

Hi all,   I would like to automate the process of grabbing some files from a folder and emailing them. The issue is that the folder in which the files are stored is located in a shared drive and the folder contains 500+ files. So looping through the shared folder to find the files takes very long, almost to the point of where completing the process manually would be quicker (yes, even when setting the speed to max).   Is there a way to loop through that folder to grab the files without creating a list?   Alternatively, i thought about using the copy file function and copying the files over locally and then using the email function to email them. However, i was not sure how to incorporate the IF statement with the  conditions to find the correct file like i could use when looping through a list.   Hope that makes sense. Thanks.
