Is there anyone who knows how to get the environment information of an available process from the Control tab? I would like to retrieve the user's name and the start time. I attach a screenshot to better illustrate my question.
In your process make a data item and set Exposure to Session. Fill this Data Item with username by using a calculation step that moves your Environmental value into the newly created Data Item. You can also do the same for start time, but would just use the start time you can already see in your screen shot, if it was me :)
Go to Control room and launch your process and when the step you made in your process is done, you will have the data in control room by clicking 'Session Management' -> Show Session Variables.
If you want to see the values before running, then it's a question of where you pass user name to the robot. This can be in schedules or Env Variables.

Seeking for guidance, in Maximo 7.6 the change status dialog box has a field (toemailaddr) Label: Notification E-mail for work Order change status. See the picture below.
What I am seeking guidance on is how do I edit that field to where I make it to default blank over populating the user logged in e-mail by default? Is this even possible?
I have looked in the change status dialog on WOTRACK as well extracted Library.XML and did not find a way to change from it filling in by default with users e-mail to just remaining blank.
I apologize in advance if it shows to be tagged incorrectly.
Picture of what I am looking to change to show blank
It's the Maximo "psdi.app.workorder.virtual.WOChangeStatus" MBO class that is defaulting that value in.
If the presentation-level default values run after the MBO add() code, then a simple presentation "Default Value" control should allow you to override that.
If that doesn't work then you can try an automation script. It would need to be against the WOCHANGESTATUS object and on the "add" action. If that runs after the Java code then you could grab that field (toEmailAddr) and set it back to an empty string. I assume the screen would still update with that change.
I have not looked at the code for any downstream effects clearing this field might have. It could be that Maximo is coded to always send out that email and if the email address is empty it would likely error at that point.
create an automation script named WOCHANGESTATUS.NEW
(automation scripts that are named after a mbo followed by .NEW are executed when a new instance of a MBO is created, they can be used to initialize column values. )
put a single line in the script.
mbo.setValueNull("TOEMAILADDR")
mark script active and save it
Trying to learn basic blue prism.
I have made an object to login to my gmail account.
It enters the page where mail id has to be entered. The email id gets entered and the next page appears where the password has to be entered. But in the writer tool it shows the following message : "Internal : Failed to perform step 1 in Write Stage 'Writer2' on page 'Initialise' - No elements match the supplied query terms"
I looked into all the most obvious bugs and I cant find anything wrong. Can someone please give any suggestions as to what the problem could be?
The specific error message you're getting indicates there's an issue with your spying of the element you're attempting a Write on.
Without knowing anything else about the way you've included/excluded certain attributes of the element you're attempting to write to, the only sound advice one could offer would be to open the Application Modeler and trial-and-error the "Match?" for each attribute until you're able to use the "Highlight" button and verify a single interface element is selected. (Usually in circumstances such as yours, the "Value" attribute of the element you've spied has its Match checkbox selected, but the value has changed since spying it, thus making it not a match.)
check if the data item you are storing the password in is of password type.
You can reset the password by going ahead with the "write" property and delete once and drag-drop again at the same place and click OK. reset the flowchart and run them again, you'll not get the error. I had faced the same issue earlier and got fixed.
It sometimes happens due to the slowness of your internet connection BP not able to read the data item info and directly moved to next steps, to fix it, you can use wait functionality and give the 8-10 sec of wait time.
Hope this helps.
stay blessed!
When spying a browser please make sure you are using HTML mode to capture the necessary Element (please note that BP only supports IE, so no Chrome or other browser!). Also, please remember that the browser page you are spying has to be launched from the Application Modeller in order to be "attached" by BP.
To cycle between modes, simply hit the Alt key after clicking "Identify" on the Application Modeller. After you have captured the correct area of the page where your password goes, uncheck all the attributes of the element that are blank and also the URL attribute (you should be left with 4 maybe 5 atributes left), then hit "Apply" and "OK". Click "Highlight" to make sure BP still finds the element of the page that you want. Then in your Process or Object canvas, use a "Write" stage and drop this element you just created in the Element field, and the password into the Value field (the value has to be between "" unless you are using a data item instead of typing it in). If you have done all this, the "Write" stage should most definitely enter the password into the password field. Good luck!
Trying to parameterize a hotel booking page where we need to enter check in, check out details etc. I created a page in object studio with various action/navigation stages for that web page. Now I need to call that object in process and loop it with input collection. When I am calling that object studio page in process studio action stage, I can select my object and action from dropdown, but under inputs tab not getting any row to drag and drop the input collection that I have created, how to do this ?
Seems you should go take Blue Prism tutorial on their homepage, as this very basic, it's how to call another process/Business object.
Short description:
Create a process which is your main.
Create your functionality in a Business object.
From your process you will pull in an 'Action' block and find your
business object in the drop down.
When it comes to input/output. Click on Start/End
to create the Input/Output you need.
Hope this was helpful.
I'm not sure if I understand your problem correctly, but shouldn't you input your data in START step in proces studio?
So, in START step in proces studio you input data and then(whit that input) you go into actions from your object.
Hope it helps.
make sure you place your data items/collections which ever is output in run time object in END stage, and make sure you uncheck hide from process box.
In process you will be able to find necessary output from object and will involve in your rest action
hope this helps :)
You need to provide input parameters in the Start properties of your Object. Inputs to a page in Object Studio provide the means for a Process to supply data to the Business Object.
Essentially, the Business Object is saying to the Process, “What check in, check out details etc do you want me to work with?”.
Hope this helps.
I had the same issue, it is resolved!
When you create an Object and go to Application Modeller, make sure you choose "Browser Based Application" instead of Windows Based Application. I had selected Windows based applocation and it was not showing up in the Process Studio. I hope this
I want to automate a process in web application using UIPath. There is a check box which need to be checked everytime I want to generate report. I was trying to automate using "click" in UI automation. There is no issue on the first process.
However, the check box doesn't reset to "uncheck" after the first process is done.
So the next time I run the process again, the check box get clicked again into "uncheck" condition.
I want to create an automation to check if the check box state is "checked" or "uncheck". If the state is "checked", then I want to skip the click check box process.
What is the ideal way to do this? I imagine using workflow flow decision. But if anybody can elaborate which function I need touse. It would be a great help!
You could just use the UiPath activity Check. You can find it in Ui Automation > Element > Control. Look for the property Action and in your case choose check (default). This won't check the checkbox if its already checked.
You can use the Get Attribute activity and you'll need to identify the attribute name for the checkbox that you are looking to extract. You can then assign it's value to a variable(probably a string) and check the value and proceed accordingly. In my test case it was the "text" attribute I needed to use which brought back a value of either checked or unchecked.
I have a program that basically just queries a webservice, and if any data is returned it will show that information to the user, but if there is nothing to display it will just wait until the next scheduled time and run.
Right now it just puts a table in front of the user, there is nothing in the status bar that they can then select and see the actual information.
So, I have two questions.
Is there a better way to show
notification information to a user
that is less intrusive?
Should the View, with a UITable,
have a button to dismiss the view
when they are finished?
UPDATE:
It seems my question isn't clear enough, so I have the data showing up in the table properly.
My problem is before I display the data.
Currently, periodically the timer will fire off my method, and if there is any events pending for the user the table will show up right in front of them.
That is bad design, IMO, so what I would like is some simple way to let them know that there is something pending and they can look at it when they get a moment.
Ideally I would have something in the status bar to show that they have some events, but it appears that isn't an option that I can see.
One option is to see if I can have the table come up minimized and have some sound or vibration go off, but again that can be bothersome to the user, as it may interrupt what they are doing.
The proper solution appears to be that while in the background just put up a notification if there is any new information, so the user can close the notification or switch to view the details.
This isn't the ideal solution, but appears to be the best choice on the iPhone.
