Connecting to IBM Access Client 5250 emulator

Has anyone had experience upgrading from IBM i Access AS400 to IBM Access Client 5250 emulator?  Our core vendor is forcing us to upgrade and we cannot seem to target the new emulator after the upgrade.  Running detect emulator does not work either.  Our core vendor is Jack Henry, and I'm sure this is just a setting that needs flipped.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time,Kyle Barton

Interfacing with Web Application drop down lists

I am using RPA to enter values onto a web page.  There are instances where I will need to select an option from a drop down list.  When targeting the dropdown, RPA does not recognize a drop down.  I am therefore unable to make a selection. When I send a click, the drop down list appears but there is no option to select or search.  I am unable to script the correct selection.   Is there a way to script this instance? Attachments are included to show what is displayed.  When the click is sent and selection 2 displays, I am unable to read text or select the proper value when targeting the selection.

Access and using the Scroll Bar on a web application

I am interfacing with a web page and will be entering data using Foxtrot RPA.  The first entry page extends beyond the screen and will need to scroll to continue enterering data.  I am unable to get Foxtrot to recognize the scroll bar.  I have used Mouse sequence but when i replay the step, I get target not found.  I tried targeting the bottom scroll arrow and sending a click but Foxtrot does not recognize the area of the screen that i am targeting (?).  If I am unable to resolve this issue, we have have to abandon Foxtrot as an option.  Please assist.  Thank you!

Chrome issues in Business Central

Hi, I am experiencing issues with Nintex RPA v 16 when working in Business Central. The "Wait for target" action simply does not work. It will start flashing at the bottom when "locating target" as if it's trying to reconnect to the Chrome instance. Hereafter it will more or less just crash until the browser window is closed.  Furthermore i am not able to "Get list" in business Central when working with Chrome. However, it works fine in Internet Explorer.* See attached image Do you have a solution for this?

Moving down in a web table

Hi I am working on a web table. I have a column with 7 rows in it. I need to click the top entry to access it, make some changes to the record, and go back again to the table. I then need to select all the following rows and do exactly the same.  Is that possible to do, and if yes, can someone please give me a short description how to do it? Thanks. Andries

Capturing steps on webpage

I need to run a bot on a webpage where I need to click on scroll bars, select hyperlinks, click buttons to collapse tables and expand a range of nodes. What I see is that RPA captures the location of the click and not the actual subject you are clicking on. So if I change my screen resolution or minimize my screen, the bot does not work because it is executing the actions where there are no buttons. How do I manage to get that the clicks will always be on the correct button?

Using Data sets from RPA central in a bot

Has anyone started using the Data Set options in RPA central for their bots?  I cannot seem to find a guide anywhere on it and was wondering how to program the bot to read the data set.  I thought it would be setting a variable to input and then, once the job and data set is created, it would be able to read from there and set the variable in RPA.  That does not seem to be the case.  Any ideas on how to get the bot to read the data set from Central?   Kyle

DD/MM/YY date issues in CSV file

Hi all. Is there a default date-culture setting in RPA? I have CSV files to process, but they include dd/mm/yy dates which are being converted automatically to US date format when opening the file, so dates up to 12th of the month convert to a valid (but incorrect) mm/dd/yyyy date, while the remaining dates are left as text in the original format. I tried using a date-culture formula to clean it up, but it fails with the two different date formats in the one column.  I tried importing as data or a list to set the column as text, but the files have 7 header rows with only two columns, so the import ignores the remaining columns.  If I open the files in Excel manually (not using RPA), the dates all show correctly in AU format. I feel like I'm missing something obvious here - can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong?Thanks.

Converting Julian date to date with RPA

Hoping for some guidance in using RPA to convert a Julian date (yyyyddd) that is stored as text into a usable date format I can use later to compare against.  I am using an API to retrieve data from our core system with RPA and this Julian date is stored with other text.  For example, it will bring back 2020093, and I would like to convert it to 4/02/2020.  Has anyone figured out how to accomplish this with formulas?     Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Looping Through a List in a Single PowerShell Action

Looking for a methodology to loop through a List object in a Botflow within a single PowerShell action. Effectively trying to avoid running the PowerShell action in a loop since the overhead of the PowerShell script is relatively high. Is there a way to CSVify or otherwise loop through a collection of rows in a List within a single PowerShell action in Foxtrot?

Chrome Support

Is Chrome on the road map to be a supported browser? I am working soon to update my Foxtrot farm to the latest version and noticed in the release notes Internet Explorer is still the only supported browser. With IE Sunset on the horizon there must be plans to move to edge? or Chrome?   We historically used Foxtrot RPA now Nintex RPA for Fiserv Premier maintenance as well as work in OnBase. Fiserv premier is has historically been in Internet Explorer. The organization just installed Chrome and WIN10 and I am testing and prepping for the scenario that we might move to Chrome as our default browser. I have no knowledge of what is actually going to happen but wanted to see what informatin is out there.

RPA Central v1.3 scheduling options

Hello everyone, We've been running v.15 for some time, and when we tested v.16, we found the RPA Central scheduler would not meet our needs.  Like others, we need more flexibility in when bots run, how often, on what days, day of the month, etc.   Since v.16.0.11 with RPA Central v.1.3 has been released, can anyone definatively say that we have the ability to schedule similar to the Windows Task Scheduler in this version, before I go down the road of installing and testing again?  The release notes and the quick start guide for RPA Central are vague in this regard. Thanks

PLAY button in FoxBot not working.....

I have multiple servers with FoxHub and FoxBot installed on them, one license per server, so completely independent.  One one server, when a job runs via FoxBot and that jobs stops, I am able to hit the PLAY button and the job will continue.  On another server (with what should be an identical configuration), when a job runs via FoxBot and the job stops, the PLAY button is not functional.  Has anyone experienced this and/or, would anyone have a suggestion on how to resolve it so that the PLAY button is functional in FoxBot??   Advance appreciation for any response.   Brian
