Migration features

Enterprise 11 and Enterprise 10 features
Migrate MetaBot with screens

Migrate MetaBot that contain screens as assets. You can migrate screens based on HTML, MSAA, and .NET technologies and captured using the Object, Image, and Coordinate play modes.
Configure timeout in 机器人 Migration 软件包

When migrating 机器人, you can now set a timeout value in the range of 3 through 90 minutes (default value is 90 minutes). If the migration of any specific 机器人 is not completed within the set time, a timeout message is displayed and the migration process moves to the next 机器人.
Use regular expressions in variables (Service Cloud case ID: 00628227)

Use regular expressions (regex) in value type variables to specify the entity on which you want to perform an operation. For example, 操作 in the 文件, 文件夹, String, and 窗口 软件包 allow use of regular expression in variables.

When Enterprise 11 or Enterprise 10 机器人 with commands that use regular expressions in variables are migrated, if their equivalent 操作 in Enterprise A2019 do not support regular expressions, the regular expression is converted to string in the migrated 机器人.
Migrate MetaBot that returns a list variable

You can now migrate MetaBot that contain logic that return a list variable to the parent 机器人.
Migrate 机器人 that use functional keys

Migrate 机器人 that use functional keys such as F1, F2, and F3 in the Send Text command.
Migrate 机器人 that extract information from PDF

Migrate 机器人 that use the Extract Form Fields command to extract data from the fields in a PDF file.
Enterprise 11 only features

Enhanced transport layer security (Service Cloud case ID: 00677546, 00681830)

The default Elasticsearch ports (47599, 47600) now use the more secure TLS version 1.2 and later as the communication channel between the Control Room and Elasticsearch server.
Enhanced Update node action in XML 软件包 (Service Cloud case ID: 00663089)

When you edit and save an XML node, the 机器人 updates the required attributes and their values in an alphabetical order, without removing any existing attributes of the node.

For example, consider two existing attributes in an XML node such as Name=Peter and Phone=9829xxxxxx. If you change the value of the phone attribute as 9887xxxxxx and add a new attribute Gender with value as Male, the 机器人 updates the phone value and adds the gender as a new attribute, without removing the existing name attribute.
Interface change in Excel 基本版 and Excel 高级版 软件包

The session name field is now the last field in 操作 in the Excel 基本版 and Excel 高级版 软件包.
Access at subfolder level in Control Room repository (Service Cloud case ID: 00634847, 00681221, 00685654)

An administrator can now allow access at the subfolder level in the Control Room by assigning the Run, Check-in and Check-out permissions to the subfolder. You can only access the contents of the subfolder and not the other 机器人 or files in the parent folder.
Increased working area in the 机器人编辑器

More horizontal and vertical screen area is available in the 机器人编辑器 for developing 机器人. You can hide or display the Actions and Details panels to maximize the working area in the 机器人编辑器.
The following table lists the fixed features and the builds in which they were fixed (内部版本 7560 is the latest build, and Build 7554 is the previous build). The fixes are cumulatively available in the latest build.

7554 00672446, 00671782, 00671065, 00683870 When you upgrade to this release from an earlier release (for example, Enterprise A2019.16), the Elasticsearch OpenDistro error message is no longer displayed. Also, the previous application_log indices from Elasticsearch are deleted to free up disk space for the upgrade.
7554 00690003 You can now use the 终端仿真器 软件包 without any change in the screen resolution for the mainframe terminal type TN3270. Previously, the screen resolution was not supported for terminal type TN3270.
7554 00679244 In 字典 and 列表 软件包, you can now use the Datetime data type in the source dictionary variable field of the Assign 操作. Previously, an error was encountered during 机器人 execution if you used Datetime data type in the source dictionary variable field.
7554 00673591 Fixed an issue in the 任务机器人 软件包 where the system selected all the input variable options when the user clicked away from and returned to the 操作.
7554 00684905, 00703481 A 任务机器人 now runs as scheduled and no longer shows the device status as Picked at runtime on the View task in progress (Activity) page when the 任务机器人 is running.
7554 00573081 The audit log page in the Control Room now records all entries related to 机器人 deployment. Also, when a parent task with many child 机器人 is deployed, the audit log now shows correct entries. Previously, some audit log entries were missing for 机器人 deployment and if a parent task with many child 机器人 was deployed, the entries displayed were incorrect.
Known limitations
Enterprise A2019 does not yet support the counter behavior of the $Excel Cell Row$ system variable in Enterprise 11 when the variable is used in the 循环 command and the Each row in Excel Dataset option is selected. This behavior is available in 11.3.0 and earlier versions by default, and in the 版本 11.3.1.2 and later versions when the retainexcelcellrowlegacybehavior tag in the AASettings.xml file is set to true.
A 机器人 fails when it runs an 操作 that reloads the web page, such as the Recorder > Capture 操作 when it is used to click a link or the Browser > Open 操作, followed by a Browser > Run JavaScript or Browser > Extract source 操作.

You must add a delay of at least 5 seconds to give the browser time to load.
A 机器人 fails when it runs the Browser > Close 操作 to close the last Google Chrome window and the window contains only one tab.

Use the Tab or All browsers options instead.

A 机器人 can return only a maximum of 3 MB to an output variable.

Workaround: Store the 机器人 output on the device, such as in a .txt file. If the output must be shared across multiple Bot Runner, store the output in a shared drive.
The AISense Recorder fails if you manually upgrade the 录制器 软件包 version, such as by importing a 机器人 that contains a 录制器 软件包 version from a more recent build than the destination Control Room. Always upgrade the 录制器 软件包 through the Control Room.
If you install the Google Chrome extension in the Microsoft Edge browser, it causes recording and runtime errors in 机器人 that interact with the Google Chrome browser. Even if you did not manually install the Google Chrome extension, the auto-sync settings in the Microsoft Edge browser might have automatically installed the extension.

If the Google Chrome extension is installed in the Microsoft Edge browser, you must remove the Google Chrome extension from the edge://extensions page.
When the regex Case insensitive flag is enabled for 操作 that include the window title, a recapture of the application window fails.
The input parameters for DLLs are not automatically passed from the parent 机器人 to the child 机器人 in Enterprise A2019 for migrated MetaBot.
Workload automation limitation for manual Credential Vault mode (Service Cloud case ID: 00711410)

You might face issues when migrating your workload automation if the Control Room is configured to use a manual mode for Credential Vault.

Workaround: As the Control Room administrator, perform the following steps:

  1. Change the Credential Vault mode to express from manual in the Control Room database configuration table.
  2. Add the credential vault key to the CredentialVault.dat file in the Control Room server repository.
  3. Restart the Automation Anywhere Control Room Service.
  4. Re-register the Bot Agent or restart the Bot Agent service.
Cloud migration limitations
  • The Cloud migration utility keeps running in background if you close the utility when the Enterprise 11 data is being uploaded.
  • If you have configured Enterprise 11 Control Room in cluster mode, you must stop the Automation Anywhere Control Room Service on all the nodes available in the cluster.
  • If the Cloud migration utility is installed on a different device than the device on which the Enterprise 11 Control Room you want to migrate is installed, an Elasticsearch unavailable error occurs.
  • If you have SSO configured on the Enterprise 11 Control Room, an error is encountered after migration to Cloud if you change the authentication from database to SSO.
  • If you provide the validation code within double quotation marks, the utility successfully validates the code but fails when uploading the Enterprise 11 data.
If you open a table variable for editing and then open another table variable and click Cancel in the Edit table window, the schema of that table reverts to the same schema of the first table. This occurs only in the interface; it does not impact the 机器人.

Workaround: Refresh the window containing the Control Room.

If you use different versions of a 软件包 in a parent 机器人 and a child 机器人, the capability to share a session across 机器人 is currently not supported in the following 软件包: DLL, Excel 高级版, Excel 基本版, and 终端仿真器

To share a session across parent and child 机器人, ensure that you use the same version of the package in both the parent and child 机器人.
