I am working in a process that worked perfectly with Community v 2020.10.6 then I buy an attended robot v 2020.10.2, My process worked fine in the beginning until one day in Debug, it throws this error:
"Excel Application Scope: Failed opening the Excel file C:\Users…\BlankProcess\excel\test.xlsx. Possible reasons: the file is corrupt, the file is already used by another process or you don’t have permissions to open the file. "
Does Excel opens the file without problems? I’ve had problems in the past where the file got corrupted and it was needed to open/repair file in Excel before using it in Uipath.
I spent many hours on this… Now I know, that Excel application scope is not compatible with background job. Please, check if you have Starts in Background selected as No.
If you have xlsx filetype, then use System/File/Workbook/ activities, not App Integration/Excel/ activities if you wan to have background job.
