Bot - Running Slow - Laserfiche Answers

asked on June 11, 2020

Good morning,

We have a large number of tasks within 1 bot as the process requires many different field entries. Close to 300+ tasks including click, and write tasks. Is there a better way to run this bot as it has become essentially un-editable as it is painfully slow and has a hard time responding when trying to make adjustments.

We tried to separate the one bot into a few bots that will be invoked one after the other in workflow but having a hard time tying the bots together. When it tries to invoke the 2nd bot, because chrome is already open, it cannot continue where the other bot left off and says 'Could connect to chrome, please ensure Chrome opened correctly.

Any help on best practice for this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Dan,

Thanks for your reporting, and I apologize for any inconvenience it may have caused. We need to investigate how to enhance it when the bot has lots of tasks.

Currently, after you separate one bot into a few bots, you need to make sure each bot can be run successfully separately. In your case, you need to add a "launch application" activity to launch the website in each bot where you will "use" the website (for security concern, we limit "Find application" can only find applications that are launched in the current bot).

For example, if your website can be saved, you can separate your bot to several bots: the first bot launch a website, do clicks, reads and writes on that website, and in the last few steps, it clicks the save button and close the website, and you need to make sure this bot can be run successfully; in the next bot, it launches the website again and continue to do other clicks, reads and writes tasks, and you need to make sure this bot also can be run successfully.

Thanks,

Tianxia
