Question on: Automation Anywhere Agentic Process Automation

How do I minimise the error of BOTS when I deploy on production on unattended mode?

On my local OS BOT Creator, Bot doesnt face any issues, after implementing to Server. Bot Runners failing with lot of scenarios, can you fix this. Why there unstability between Creator & Runner. If it sucess in Creator it should complete on Runner Too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Majority of the bots are subjected to errors in production environment due to inconsistencies and differences between production and development environment. In order to minimize the errors some precautions can be taken like- Use of 'click' action instead of 'left click' , manage windows controls are more stable for desktop applications than object cloning, making sure that the pop-ups and context menus are opening in the same positions, selecting the correct actions to select tabs and menu items, etc. Majority of the problems arise due to development and prod environment not being identical.

Always make sure you have the knowledge of development server and production server environments, and always make use of Error Handling command to know about bot failures or unexpected situations.

Answered: Govardhan Reddy on December 26, 2019

Dear Sandrick. Thank you for your question. In my understanding, you can try to download the solutions (.xaml files) in the training and then run them. Then you can try to create the programs yourself to get the same results as what is shown in the sample program which you ran.

Answered: Divik Schueller on January 2, 2020

You can always try learning with programs that you have, try to see how you can workaround different situations, there are some activities in the academy that you can try to do, excel and navigator are some of the things that are most commontly used

Answered: Daniel Perez Apreza on January 3, 2020

Practicing more will help you learn more. Try to do some real-life problems/use cases that you come across at work using the Community edition. There are many websites & forums that discuss day-today issues faced by UiPath Developers. Trying to solve some of the problems/scenarios will give you a good hands on.

Question on: UiPath Agentic Automation

Is there a possibility to use UiPath inside a network that doesn't allow you to communicate with cloud systems?

In the company im allocatad, the system is very closed and secure, and their proxy does not allow us to communicate with cloud services, so using UIPath may be troublesome for some operations, but maybe there is a solution to implement the automations without a conflicting with the customer's network.

Yes, UiPath has on premise versions of the orchestrator that can be set up within your network. If that is not an option, the automation can be run manually.
