Known limitations
- The connection to an Apache Ignite server of a Control Room cluster is automatically restored after the
network is disrupted; however, the connection to the other server nodes is
not restored and the servers appear disconnected.
To ensure all the nodes are in sync, manually restart the Automation Anywhere Elastic Search Service from the Task Manager Services window.
- It is recommended to delete a repository from the Visual SVN Server instead of deleting the default folder of the SVN repository in the Control Room that is enabled for version control.
-
Bot Store
integration -
- The application creates a Bot
Store sub-folder under My
Task folder in the Control Room
repository after installation. When you upgrade to the current
version and if the Bot Store sub-folder
already exists, the installation fails as duplicate folders are not
supported. To overcome this issue, you can follow these steps:
- Before you upgrade, run a database query:
Update AAFILE set name='Bot Store_11_3_3', path = 'Automation Anywhere\My Tasks\Bot Store_11_3_3' where path = 'Automation Anywhere\My Tasks\Bot Store' and is_deleted = 0
- Upgrade Control Room to Version 11.3.3 using the setup file.
- Run the database query on the upgraded Control Room database:
Update AAFILE set is_deleted=1 where path = 'Automation Anywhere\My Tasks\Bot Store' and is_deleted = 0
Update AAFILE set name='Bot Store', path = 'Automation Anywhere\My Tasks\Bot Store', created_by=0 where path = 'Automation Anywhere\My Tasks\Bot Store_11_3_3' and is_deleted = 0
- Before you upgrade, run a database query:
- Dependent files from the My Docs,
My Exe, and My
Script folders are not included as manual
dependencies in the bots that are accessible from the
Bot Store. This means that the Manual
Dependency API is also not supported.
To include the dependent files for bot deployment, add the files in the Bot Store folder when you create a bot that is to be uploaded to the Bot Store.
- Pagination is not available in the My Downloads page in the Bot Store tab.
- The application creates a Bot
Store sub-folder under My
Task folder in the Control Room
repository after installation. When you upgrade to the current
version and if the Bot Store sub-folder
already exists, the installation fails as duplicate folders are not
supported. To overcome this issue, you can follow these steps:
- When you migrate a custom role to Version 11.3.3, and this role is
granted permission to the
My Tasks
folder, the permissions are not applied to theBot Store
folder. - When you refresh the Download to my bots page, the name of the bot you are downloading disappears and the Download to my bots option is disabled.
- If you have set a production version to a parent bot and did not set the production version on the child bot, the protection type status of the child bot and the bots within the child bot is not displayed even if they are protected.
- The progress status for a Repeat scheduled event is intermittently captured on the In Progress Activity screen. As a workaround, you can refresh the page.
- If you delete any bot, the historical data associated with that bot is removed.
- The Folders on the Bots permission page need to be collapsed and expanded manually when you are in the process of creating a role to ensure newly uploaded child level folders that are added concurrently by other users can be viewed under the parent folder and included when assigning the Bot level permissions.
- To export the migration details to a csv file, use the Export details... button given at the row level for single migration record from the main Migration page instead of the Export details... button on the View migration page.
- Maximum 200 Active Directory (AD) groups can be mapped to user roles in the Control Room in this version. Also, you can search for the AD groups that are present in the user Organizational Unit (OU) only and not in other OUs.
- You cannot install a bot directly in the Control Room if the bot was created in a version earlier than Enterprise Client Version 11.3.3 and was downloaded from the Bot Store. To install the bot, download and install the MSI file on the Bot Creator machine and then upload it to the Control Room.
Enterprise Client known limitations
-
Bot Store
integration - Dependent files that are
either not referenced from the correct folder or missing from the physical
location show the Protection Type as follows when you
upload to or download from the Control Room:
-
Protection Type column is displayed.
If you are uploading or downloading a task that has dependencies and is available within the Bot Store folder.
-
Protection Type column is not displayed.
If you are uploading or downloading a task that has dependencies and is available outside the Bot Store folder.
-
Protection Type column is displayed.
- You cannot capture objects based on Flex, Java, and Silverlight technologies from Google Chrome.
-
Terminal Emulator command -
- For the ANSI or VT Series terminal type with Advanced Technology, when you use the [Enter] key, the bot execution moves to the next command before the next screen appears. It is recommended that you split the text and key in two separate Send Text commands in your Task Bot.
- For ANSI terminal type, an additional row is displayed with Advanced Technology as compared to the Legacy technology.
- If the 'Object reference not set to an Instance of an Object' error message appears when you open the Workbench for the Enterprise Client that is installed on the Google Cloud Platform, you must reinstall the same Enterprise Client after uninstalling it to fix this issue.
-
GUI Automation command -
- You cannot use wildcard characters to specify the title of the SAP window from which you want to capture an object.
- After capturing an object from the SAP window, the focus does not shift back to the Enterprise Client. Click the Enterprise Client icon on the task bar to navigate back to the Enterprise Client.
- In the Rest Web Service command, you might not be able to add the local variables and text with the other local variables in Credential Variable. In that case, clear the textbox that has the Credential Variable and then try to add any local variable. using F2 after you have used the
- Third party integration commands, such as SAP, Zip-unzip, PGP, Terminal Emulator, and Send Email in Automation Anywhere do not work optimally on a machine or a newly configured Virtual Machine (VM) that does not have the required Primary Interop Assemblies (PIA) redistributables. Typically, the PIA redistributables are automatically installed; however, they need to be separately installed if you did not install the Microsoft .NET Framework package before you installed Microsoft Office.
-
As a work around, copy the stdole.dll file to either of the following paths:
<your drive>:\Windows\assembly\GAC
<Automation Anywhere installation path>\Client
Tip: Copy the file from an existing<your drive>:\Windows\assembly\GAC
of a VM or machine where Microsoft Office is installed. See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/vsto/how-to-install-office-primary-interop-assemblies?view=vs-2019. - The key reference in the dictionary variable removes round brackets ( and ) when inserting a new key value using the F2 key option, because of which an error message appears during the runtime.
