Attended Vs Unattended UiAutomation

I am seeing Unattended processes fail more often on than Attended. I can run a process as Attended and it runs without any issues, but then I will run as unattended and it will fail. Is there something that I need to do differently when designing/building a process to run as Unattended? Just seems odd that the same process runs fine as attended but fails (sometimes) as Unattended.

@PWilliams Unattended Automation is the one which runs without any human intervention meaning, it runs after the user log out from the server

  • Coming to your point, most unattended automation fails, since the tool might not able to identify elements properly as it did in attended

  • To avoid this, you don’t need to do separate coding, just you make sure you have to enable few properties of the activity where the bot was failing

Note : To run the bot in unattended automation, you need to buy unattended license, then it will work

@PWilliams

  1. May I know what activities are getting failed here ?

  2. Did you enable SimulateType or SendWindowMessage properties to that failed activities ?

  3. Are you using any Image activities in your process ?

Hey @PWilliams

If you can post specific error message will be great to troubleshoot.

Thanks

@lakshman and @Nithinkrishna,

The activities vary but typically interacting with UIElements on the screen. This one was an Attach Window activity and also a Element Exists activity. One thing I did notice is the screen resolution being very small. I develop the bots and run on 1920X1080. However, when the bot runs as unattended its using a much small resolution. Should I set the resolution for the unattended bots to use 1920x1080 resolution?

Yes you can set the resolution under Robot settings page in Orchestrator. Please set the resolution as per your development machine and then check once.
