1.Difference between universal recorder and AI Sence Recorder?

2.Difference between web controls and object cloning?

Object cloning - is specifically used for capturing objects that use technologies such as Flex,
Silverlight, Java, or HTML. It captures properties such as X,Y coordinates, object properties and
image, if enabled. Object Cloning command is used to recognize Objects and a variety of their
properties, including Name, Type, Path, and Value. 
Manage Windows Control command allows you to work with windows controls like checkboxes and
radio buttons. With this command, you can find out if the radio button or check box is checked or
not. Automation Anywhere supports only standard Windows checkboxes and radio buttons. 
Manage Web Control - it is a subcommand of Web Recorder, it enables you to automate internet-
related tasks such as extraction of like data or table data, source code from a website, navigate to a
URL and download data

5.What are Best practices?

 
1. All Bots are expected to follow modularity, that is instead of having everything in a
single bot, it is best practice to separate the tasks into different task bots. 
a. Each separated task is named with apt file names, so that it will be easy for
other developers to re-use that task bot. 
0. b. Common tasks such as date conversions, Excel Column names to numbers
are being placed in separate folder and name it as common tasks.    
2 Avoid hardcoded values throughout the bot code. 
a. All the variable values should be maintained in Configuration files. 
b. All SQL Quires must be maintained in a separate config file. 
3. Variables are started with type of variable letters
Eg: v Value Variable, Array Variable, List Variable, Random Variable, String Variables  
4. Extensive code commenting is required on. atmx/.mbot files for future reference. 
5. It is a good practice to mention information about code change in each and every
task. 
a. Purpose of individual task 
 b. Author name 
c. Task Start date 
d. Reason for code modify and date of code change 
e. Name of Developer who modified the logic 
6. All secure information like passwords must be placed Credential lockers and assign them
to variables which can be accessible in the tasks. 
7.All tasks are expected to have proper Exception handling, to eliminate un-expected
failures. 
8. Logging is needed for every block of code and provide time stamp whenever you are
logging. 
9. Maintain separate folders for each type of files for ease of access, such as 
a. Input Folder 
b. Output Folder 
c. Scripts 
d. Config Folder 
e. Metrics folder 
f. Log Folder (includes Log files and screen shots in each sub folder)    
10. Use wildcards or Variables in Window Title to avoid further issues in Bot.  
11. While using keystrokes it is recommended to use at least 50ms delay. 
12. Always use Maximize Window command on all windows and Applications.  

6.What is Global values?

Automation 360 v.x Build RPA Workspace Global values enable users to reuse identical
values between bots instead of creating new variables for each bot. A user with the
AAE_admin role configures a global value with a default value and can enable non-admin
users to overwrite the value to use in their bots.

7. Difference between Local and Global session?

Local Session:
Local session name can only be used in this bot.
Global Session:
Global session name can be used in parent and child bots
What are the Business exceptions and System exceptions you have faced?

System exception - exception occurred due to system (web application, standalone application etc.)
Eg: application not reachable, Ui element not found etc.

Business exception - the exception occurred by business logic not really exception these are user
defined example like if employee salary less than 5000 he is not eligible for loan something like that
we can throw business exception.

What are the Error and Exception?

Error - it is an unknown issue that cannot be handled since we don’t know when it will come.
Usually, errors will come at run time. Mostly coding issues will cause these errors while developing
we don’t know run time may occur.

Exception - it is a known issue that we can handle before itself. Usually, we can handle these issues
by using try catch activity. Where you think that the exception can occur that code, we should keep
in try block. Mentioned in previous post system exception or business exception we already aware
where we will get.

8.AA 360 and aa11 Arch structure?

AA360:

1. Bot Creators
As a part of the development process, the automation in the automation anywhere tool is

performed by a Bot, and this desktop application is present that is responsible for creating,

editing and executing of the bots.

2. Control Room

This element happens to be the most important component in the architecture. This

happens to be the server in the terminology of a distributed architecture. The bots that are

created by the bot creator is controlled by the control room and this element provides

various features like centralized user management, bot farm, license management,

dashboard reflecting the values for which the tool runs for and source control.

3. Bot Runners

Till now we have created a bot and also set up the room from there the execution will be
handled, but in order to complete we would need this point with as much importance as
that of the previous 2. The last element of the automation anywhere tool is to accomplish
the task of running a bot.

But v11 we can’t pass directly we can convert into value type then only we can pass one task
to anther task
What is the Dictionary variable?
A dictionary variable is a collection of key-value pairs, in which each key is mapped to a value. It is
similar to an entry in a dictionary where each word has a corresponding definition or an explanation.
The key is similar to the word and the value is its definition.
Within the dictionary, the key and value can be used wherever a string is used (in loops, commands,
parameters, MetaBots, and so on).
16.Difference between List and dictionary variables?
List Dictionary
Lists are Dynamic In Values can be of any data type and can
repeat, keys must be of immutable type
List are enclosed in brackets [] and their Dictionary’s are enclosed in curly breaces {}
elements ad size can be changed and consists of key: value

18.What are Control room Compounds?

19. what is credential Manager

Credentials created in the Control Room are used across Bot Creators and Bot Runners.

These credentials are securely stored in the centralized Credential Vault. To further facilitate
access control, credentials are further divided in logical groups called lockers.
These lockers enable complete separation between the credentials of one department from
another.
Permissions for credential management-related roles include the following:
Manage my credentials and lockers
By default, all users can manage their own credentials and interact with lockers they
are given permissions for.
Manage my lockers
Allows the user to create and manage their own lockers.
Administer ALL lockers
User has limited actions on all lockers.
Each locker has the following permissions:

What is a meta bot?

Meta Bots are the automation building blocks that help you scale. They're what we call “app
resilient,” meaning that any time an application updates or changes, you make minimal edits to the
bot itself, and those changes then automatically apply to any process utilizing that bot.
What is the primary benefit of using MetaBots?
MetaBots eliminate common navigational errors in complex automation tasks. MetaBots automate
without requiring access to live application. Create MetaBots. Add Assets – Screens and DLLs to your
MetaBots.
What programming language is used in automation anywhere?
Automation Anywhere API can be used from a wide variety of languages: C++, VB6, C#, VB .
What is the purpose of a user variable?
User variables are defined by an automation user and used for a particular task or set of tasks. A user
variable can hold a single value or multiple values. Such variables are marked for Analytics while
creating variables.
What is the most friendly format in Automation Anywhere?
Excel, CSV, Text files are most friendly formats of AA.
Which two files Cannot be scheduled by the schedule manager in an AA client?
Executable and VB Script files cannot be scheduled by the schedule manager in AA client.
What is the purpose of user variable in Automation Anywhere?
Automation Anywhere is designed with various types of variables that can be defined for each task.
As you build automation tasks, the scripts that are generated can lend themselves to using variables
to track or modify the value of a field or data point.
What is record in automation anywhere 360?
The Record variable holds all the values for one row.
What is AARI?
Automation Anywhere Robotic Interface or AARI provides a simple, front-end interface for users to
execute and interact with bots and applications.
Why use AARI?
 Simplify everyday tasks, such as reporting and keeping track of urgent requests.
 Collaborate easily with your team's applications and bots, thereby improving average handle
time and resolution rate, which helps improve customer satisfaction.
 Speed up even the most complex requests by automating escalations and approvals.
 Accelerate return-on-investment owing to minimal investment on infrastructure, training,
and set-up costs for your enterprise.
What can you do with AARI?
AARI enables real-time communication between users and bots. By using AARI to automate
repetitive and time-consuming tasks, you can improve customer experience, increase employee
productivity, and cut operational costs for your organization.

Array in Automation Anywhere A360?

What is difference between recorders?

1. Screen Recorder: It is most suitable for desktop applications. The Screen Recorder or the
other Standard Recorder provides the easiest way to create a simple automation process. It
is usually used when the task involves many mouse clicks  and keyboard operations
2. Smart Recorder: Suitable for both Web and Desktop applications. The Smart Recorder or the
Object Recorder is the most feasible method for building tasks. It is ideal for desktop
applications and captures objects such as drop-down menus, list boxes, radio buttons, check
boxes and mouse clicks.
3. Web Recorder: Used only for Web applications. The Web-Recorder is used to perform tasks
that require repetitive actions such as Extracting data from multiple web pages, Extracting
data from tables on the web pages or Filling web forms.
