RPA LE

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  

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?

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. 

Does anyone have any experience with having success using Bluezone and Nintex RPA? I have version 16.6.7. I have been able to connect emulator, but I cannot seem to move forward from there. Any advice is appreciated!

Is there a way to install Nintex RPA on a mac PC? 

I have a workflow that gathers some data and then kicks off a botflow to do some work using those values. Or that's the theory at least. I can't find any way to pass the variables / values into the botflow...  Any help would be much appreciated.

For users that upgraded to v17.0.4 or v17.0.5, botflows with Click actions that were created between v16.6.1-16.6.7, may not work as intended. When executing a click action, it's X,Y coordinates may be treated as screen coordinates instead of their intended relative coordinates to the target element.  We are in the process of fixing this bug and will have an update shortly. If you can not wait for the bug fix, the next best option is to re-create the Click action.

Hello, i was wondering if it is possible to use wildcards in the "ID" field under the rules of an action. In my case, i want to automate SAP, but parts of the IDs of the elements within the GUI change every time i log in so the actions won't work. The only workaround i see is to use wildcards. Is that possible? Greetings, Benjamin.

I have a drop down list that can contain anywhere from 1 to 4 items.  I am using "Select Next Item" to cycle through the list.  How to I know I have cycled through the list whether it is 2 or 3 or 4 items?  RPA will have an error, but I cannot target that error.  This is a Fiserv Navigator platform.

Hi All,  I am new to Nintex RPA and trying to create one bot which starts by openning a workbook. Once I try to run the script, the action "Open Workbook" give me the following error: "Error 13: Unable to cast COM object of type 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.ApplicationClass' to interface type 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel._Application'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with ID.....failed due to the following error: Element not found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8002802B (TYPE_E_ELEMENTNOTFOUND))." (see attachment). I tried with different workbooks and only with this action. I am using local version of Excel of O365. I appreciate in advance for any help.

I'm having an issue where my Bots are going 'offline' in RPA Central after completing a scheduled task.  All of my Bots end with the 'Close Me' action which seems to make it lose connection with RPA Central.  Other bots on the same VM do remain online, it is only the Bot that completes the task which then goes offline.  I'm running Nintex Bot 14.0.4 and RPA Central 2.0.3

RPA central fails to load. When restarting the RPA Central service it throws the error in the attached screenshot. When I try to open Foxtrot it says Nintex could not reach the configured URL. We did not change the URL at all. Restarting the server that rpa central is hosted on does not fix the issue

Hello team, I cannot able to Do EMAIL ACTIONS Such as Send EMAIL, RECEIVE EMAILS in Nintex Bot.   Can you able guide to proceed Further to check In TriaL versions     

We have recently upgraded to RPA Central 2.0.1 and our bots to v.17.0.1. However, we can't get the scheduling of the botflows to work. For test we have three botflows. One is running every whole hour, the second running 30 min after the first botflow and the third botflow two times a day (8:15 am, 5:15 pm). These botflows are assigned to a bot on a second machine. See attachment. After the upgrade, botflows one and two was running as scheduled, but only did respectively 2 times, then they did not start again. However, you could manually start the botflows on the assigned bot through RPA Central and they will run without any issues and finish. Hence, there should not be any connectivity problems between RPAC and the bot. For reference, we are running Enterprise-license.     

Nintex RPA Central v2.0 will be released next week.  The overall navigation within Nintex RPA Central will be changed to provide a unified and seamless experience within the Nintex process platform.  In the new version and going forward, the right-hand side action panel will be utilized to provide a consistent experience in editing and configuring your botflows.  As a reminder, the Jobs function will also be retired.  All your Botflows™ with or without a job will continue to be supported and run as scheduled in v2.0.  Your Botflows™ with jobs will be listed in the Botflow page with corresponding job names.  We encourage you to allocate a service maintenance time to upgrade Nintex RPA Central to v2 and all the bots to v17.  Register for complementary training sessions to learn more

Hello everyone,I was hoping to get other bank's input.  We are wanting to deploy bots to various business units but finding that because there are no permissions in RPA Central that this becomes challenging.  Has anyone come up with a solution so that loan operations only has access to their botflows, deposit operations only has access to their botflows, etc? Thank you.

I am needing to take the emails that we have and print the entire email to PDF. I do not see this action. We are wanting to open the email and print the email itself not and then save it to a file. Can anyone help on this?

I have a functional stand-alone botflow that I would like to initiate from an NWC form.  The NWC form works properly and launches the botflow properly.  When the botflow finishes, it is supposed to return two variables back to the calling NWC instance.   From within NWC I can see the expected variable definitions when I navigate the WF variables, however when the botflow runs, the data is not returned.  I couldn't find any documentation to show how this should be accomplished.   These are the steps I took to get this far: 1) Create the variables within the botflow and selected the "Output Variable" check box.2) Publish the botflow3) From within NWC, initiate the botflow based on data entered in an NWC form4) From NWC, after the botflow finishes, attempt to write the botflow output variables to a log and email them to a user.  The botflow runs, and the variables are populated, however the data never makes it
