6.11.0

  • Compatible Bot Agent version: 21.22 or later
  • Compatible Control Room version: 15238 or later
Fix

The bot no longer displays an error when you use Run function action, select a DLL parameter as a string parameter type, and select Credential as a string value without picking any credentials from the locker. The bot now passes an empty string to the DLL parameter on execution, even if the credentials are not picked from the locker.

Previously, the bot displayed an error on execution when you used Run function action, selected a DLL parameter as the string parameter type, and selected Credential as the string value without picking any credentials from the locker and keeping it empty.

6.10.2

  • Compatible Bot Agent version: 21.22 or later
  • Compatible Control Room version: 15238 or later
Note: This package version is also available in the Automation 360 v.30 release.
Fix
When you work with Run function action and uses the following DLL function, the output will be retrieved as:
  • If the DLL function return type is String (string) and the output is null, it will retrieve an empty string.
  • If the DLL function return type is Array of String (string []) and the output is null, it will retrieve an empty array of strings.
  • If the DLL function return type is List of String (List<string>) and the output is null, it will retrieve an empty list of strings.

Previously, when you used the DLL function return type as String (string), Array of String (string []), or List of String (List<string>), and if it contained a NULL value, the output retrieved as true string.
