Hello,

If you wish to insert keystroke in attached login screen then you can use 'Insert Keystrokes' command. For e.g. to insert Login name, double click on 'Insert Keystrokes' command, select window title of attached login screen and insert the login name in Keystrokes window.

Hope that helps. If not then can you please tell us more about your requirement? In that way we would be able to understand the problem better and can help you accordingly.

This task opens a HyperTerminal connection, then needs to wait for the logon prompt before sending username and password. See the Loop While construct below. The problem is that the task must somehow detect the logon prompt.

9 Open "C:\Documents and Settings\PAQ9518\Desktop\BCLA.ht "
10 Click On Command Button : "OK" in Window : "Connect To"
11 Delay: (4000 ms)
12 Click On Command Button : "Dial" in Window : "Connect"
13 App Integration: Capture text from screen "BCLA - HyperTerminal" after ":" and assign to $strBBSScreenText$
14 Log to File: $strBBSScreenText$ in "$strLogFile$"
15 Loop While $strBBSScreenText$ Not Equal To "Enter logon id"
16 Comment: Please enter your commands to loop.
17 App Integration: Capture text from screen "BCLA - HyperTerminal" after ":" and assign to $strBBSScreenText$
18 Log to File: $strBBSScreenText$ in "$strLogFile$"
19 Delay: (4000 ms)
20 End Loop

Hello,

You can make use of 'Wait for window to open command' to wait for particular window to open before performing subsequent actions. You can find this command under 'Delay/Wait' commands category. Please follow the below steps to use 'Wait for Window' command.

1) Open the Task Editor from Tools - Task Editor.
2) Double click on the 'Delay/Wait' command.
3) Select 'Wait For' option.
4) Select 'Wait For Window To Open' option and specify the window title.
5) Specify how long would you like Automation Anywhere to wait for the condition to be true i.e. for particular window to open.
You can specify if you want to continue with the task or stop the task in case that particular window did not open in your specified time.

Put a Wait for Window command with sufficient time to wait. For e.g. if the window eventually loads in one minute then put a time of 100 seconds or so. That way it will keep waiting for the window to come up before going to the next action. If the window comes up in 10 seconds then it will move forward as soon as it comes up. It works as an intelligent delay command.

Also, you can insert 'If Window Exists' Statement and inside If-Endif block insert commands to enter username and password. You can find 'If Window Exists' command under ‘Conditions/Loops’ command category.

Hope that helps.
