Sunbird 1.1.2
note
Available since June 14, 2017.
Sunbird 1.1.2 is mostly a maintenance release to the previous versions. Although, it offers a number of new valuable features that are to facilitate the use of RPA Express and enable new desired capabilities.
New features and improvements
Performance Improvement
RPA Express performance has been improved due to Control Tower refactoring within the WorkFusion platform optimization process.
Control Tower
- Possibility to back up all Business Processes before migration to a newer version of RPA Express and automatic restore at the first start of Control Tower.
Recorder
- The Publish as new Business Process option is added.
Web actions
The following new capabilities for the Web Actions are available in this release:
- Internet Explorer can be used in the Open Website action along with the built-in Firefox and Chromium browsers.
- In the Open Website action a String variable can be used to define URL of the web-site.
- XPath can be used in the Web Element action to extract a collection of elements and save them to the list. Previously, XPath could only be used to extract a single element.
- The Switch to browser action is added to re-use the browser opened with the Open Website action.
Bug fixes
Recorder
- Publish to Control Tower fails, if the recording has been published already to the previous version of Control Tower.
OCR Actions
- OCR action fails in Control Tower
Control Tower
- If the recording contains the constant and random variables of integer type, it fails during execution in Control Tower.
Known issues
- Recorder is unable to capture keystrokes in the Command Prompt. As a workaround, you can paste commands to the Command Prompt from the clipboard and send the Enter keystroke from the Enter Keystroke action.
- In Recorder mouse Scroll Up sometimes scrolls down and vice versa.
- The Auto-detect window Action cannot switch to the application windows after the Window maximize Action. The workaround is as follows. As the application window opens, switch to another window first, then move the focus to the application.
- Switch to window does not work with Cortana.
- Files, whose names contain spaces, can not be used in the Excel actions.
Text actions
- Change case issues:
- Sentence case does not work, if the text contains '!' or '?'.
- When changing to the Sentence case, the first letter of the sentence is capitalized, but the other letters still keep the initial case.
- When changing to the Capitalize Each Word, the first letter of the word is capitalized, but the other letters still keep the initial case.
