OpenBots Studio v1.0.6 Release Notes
Download
[New Features]
  • OpenBots Agent
    • The OpenBots Agent allows for users to connect to an OpenBots server and utilize its functions. It will also allow for attended/unattended execution of scheduled jobs.
    • The Server will release soon, so we have released the Agent to allow users to get comfortable with its installation and features!
  • OpenBots Server Integration
    • A new suite of commands was added to integrate without upcoming server. The below commands represent the integration points between the Studio and Server, and give a sneak peek to the functionality we are including!
    • Get/Update Asset Commands
      • Allow for the retrieval/updating of Text/Json/Number/File assets on the Server.
    • Get/Update Credential Commands
      • Allow for the storage of Credentials in a secure manner on the Server. Retrieved Credentials are returned with the password as a SecureString.
    • Add/Work/Set Status/Extend QueueItem Commands
      • Allow for transactional processing through QueueItems. Processing data can be stored as either Text or Json, and parsed through the provided Json commands.
    • Publish projects to OpenBots Server
      • Allows for remote/local publishing of projects, representing a completed version of an automation. Projects will automatically be published to any server connection found through the Agent.
  • Command Inline Variable Creation
    • Users can now use the shortcut “Ctrl+K” to create new variables in the Command editor. New variables are inserted at the cursor position.

[Known Issues]
  • The OpenBots Agent must be run as an Administrator.
  • ReadPDFText is not currently able to access its .jar file. We are going to be re-writing the command to utilize a different method.
  • The Remote Desktop Manager does not currently save the entered information. This form is currently the subject of a refactor operation.
  • The Remote Desktop commands in the System category do not properly initialize an RDC session.
  • Code from OpenBots versions prior to v1.0.6 is currently incompatible with v1.0.6+ due to minor namespace changes. This can be corrected with a bit of elbow grease, but users with large projects should ideally wait until a conversion patch is published.
  • Variables created during command execution are not visualized in the Variable Manager/Helper.
  • Errors in user scripts are currently only known during execution. Further validation could be provided to end users during command creation.
  • User is unable to select the default “My Scripts” folder location.
  • Inability to drag/drop commands from Command pane.
  • The following Commands have minor known issues:
    • Date Calculation
    • Stop Process
    • UI Automation
