Hi João Pedro I assume you are running the script in IBM RPA Studio (Start button / F5)? Try to run it without debugging (CTRL-F5) I have noticed that exception handling doesn't seem to work when you are running a script the default way from within Studio. It is probably intended that way. Regards, ...

Hi Filipe Thanks for your response. The appspot.com URL is just an example of a website which uses ShadowDOM. I used this example to demonstrate that IBM RPA is not able to use a selector in that case. Or at least, I don't know how I can make IBM RPA use a selector. For the actual application that ...

Hi David thanks again for your response. Although the "Run Javascript"-option seems to work for setting an input value, I am still unable to actually search for books (in the book app example). I will investigate it further but it will be hard to use this technique for the automation I need to do ...

Hi does anyone has any experience in using IBM RPA against a website which heavily uses Shadow DOM (for instance sites which are build with Nuxeo CMS)? I am not a web developer and to be honest, I heard about Shadow DOM for the first time today. It seems to be a technique to encapsulate some functionalities ...

Hi Shravya can you post the relevant part of the WAL-script you are using? This would probably make it easier to understand what is going on. Kind regards, Nordine ------------------------------ nordine vandezande ------------------------------

Hi Alex did you set an appropriate value for the green/yellow/red time when you published the script (Advanced options in the Publishing pop-up window)? The red time value defines the maximum runtime for the script which can result in a timeout error when the script isn't finished before that value. ...

Hi Jan I don't think that there is a command to compare data tables but it should be possible to compare using a For loop. I added a simplified example below. defVar --name DT1 --type DataTable defVar --name DT2 --type DataTable defVar --name vRowIterator --type Numeric defVar --name vRowValue ...

Hi Angelo after restarting the service, the IBM RPA icon appeared in my systray. But after restarting the workstation, the icon is not showing while the service is running and I successfully launched Studio. Restarting the service shows the icon again. That is fine by me, but I thought that it would ...

Hi I am using the Send to Clipboard en Paste from Clipboard to interact with a rich text editor in a browser.

Hi Ryan Thanks for your reply. I already had checked my display settings and I am not using a second monitor. The thing is that this error is only recurring randomly: like I mentioned in my original post, the bot runs fine several times (in the same RDP session) and suddenly I am getting the error. ...

Hi Vinicius You are right, extracting one-page at a time clearly shows the empty page (which I need to detect). I was extracting the complete pdf (all pages) in one pdfText-command and counting the empty lines in the resulting variable to keep track of the pages. Doing that, I was unable to detect ...
