Hello,
Using ‘If Window Exist’ command you can check if certain application is open by checking for application window name, or if certain error condition occurred by checking for error window, or if file download has finished by checking for File download window and so on. You can specify how long to wait for this condition. Let's say you want to perform some action only if a window exists. You know it might take anytime between 5 seconds to 5 minutes for that window to come up. Automation Anywhere will keep on checking for the window up to 300 seconds and as soon as the window appears, will execute actions within the conditional commands. If you leave the textbox empty or provide 0 then Automation Anywhere checks the condition right away and if it is met it will execute the actions otherwise it will skip those actions and proceed to actions after End If.
You can use the Wait For Window command to wait for a particular window to open or close and then perform the next action. You can specify how long would you like Automation Annywhere to wait for the condition to be true i.e. for window to open. You can specify if you want to continue with the task or stop the task in case the specified window did not open in your specified time.
Possibly, "Batch Receive" window took time to come up so ‘If window Exist’ condition did not satisfy and after you waited for particular window to come up it worked.
Also, you are using the beta version of Automation Anywhere. I recommend you to download the latest version of 4.0 that is now officially released from our website.
Hope that helps.  |
