Use Frameworks To Avoid Fireworks: Introduction
Disclaimer: This is a watered-down approach of building frameworks. If you want a proper end to end article detailing each and every aspect of building a robust and dependable framework, go write one yourself. If you though this article was about implementing structural frameworks to avoid fire hazards… . . . Then don’t click away…
There’s VBA, Then There’s VBS.
I went off on a rant again, so if you want to get straight to the meat and potatoes, click here. VBA is pretty powerful, but today will explore something that isn’t nearly as powerful but just as useful. This might seem like a waste of time, but that’s because my ability to persuade others…
Pivot Tables Without the “Pivot Table” (Part-I)
While Automation Anywhere is fantastic at Excel Automation, there are instances where it falls short but it’s not due to negligence. It isn’t practical to develop Actions or Commands for every conceivable operation, because maintaining that would be a nightmare, let along developing them which is why I believe it’s important for RPA Developers to…
AA: RPA Comes in Various Shapes, Sizes and Customizable Forms (Part-II)
Last time, we learnt how to create and customize forms, and today, we will learn how to add rules to our forms. Why add rules? Because RPA is rule-based (get it?). No but seriously, why bother adding rules? I Need an Answer If you’ve explored forms before, then you’d have noticed that there are validations…
AA: RPA Comes in Various Shapes, Sizes and Customizable Forms(Part-I)
RPA is composed of scripts bundled up into click and drag automation blocks with which we can develop automations in less time than it would take a Python or JavaScript developer to develop, which is why it has captured the market like wildfire. Automation is automation, but because its automation, people aren’t too comfortable working…
AA: How Are Your Bots Doing?
If this is the first article you’re reading on my blog, then you’re probably confused. If you are new to RPA, then welcome aboard the Automation Spaceship! You might want to go through the first two articles in my 5-Star Developer Series before we active hyperdrive and blast off to infinity. Why Perform Analytics on…
AA: Excel, With Database Operations!
“But TCT, I have never worked with Databases nor has a requirement ever popped up, so why bother learning it?” Tsk, tsk, tsk. It’s this sort of attitude TCT is allergic to. Once you see how wonderful Database Operations are, you too will develop an allergy towards those who state “Database is boring” or “Database…
Debug: Why Aren’t You Using It?
Those new to Automation Anywhere aren’t sure how or where to start, which is why I penned this article right here. Now, why would I divert you to another article instead of diving into the topic at hand? That’s easy to explain. The processes you develop won’t be perfect, because nobody’s perfect. Unfortunately you can’t…
AA: Extracting Tables That Aren’t Tables(Part-II)
In our last post, we were able to successfully extract data from each column. Today we will outline the logic for looping through each line item in the web table, extracting its contents, and storing it in proper format. Simply put, we will extract the table as it is, even though the HTML structure isn’t…
Windows Can Be Variables Too?
Short answer: Yes. Long answer: This article. Variables, and Why We Need Them When manipulating data, it makes sense to organize that data into individual containers with labels. This makes it easier to identify the data while also speeding things up as memory allocation happens according to the “container” it is assigned to. Data isn’t…
