Hi!

Has anyone done the official manual training of blue prism? I'm having some doubts about work queues and the exercise in general...

Hi rpa_t, I'm sure there would be folks in the forum who may have done it.
There are a few topics on Work Queues so perhaps you can at first search the forum for any existing topics and if they do not have your question you can start a new thread with full details about it.

Cheers!

Thank you.
I don't want anyone doing this for me, because I want to learn, but there are many little doubts and there is no support... (but it will be subject of another thread).
I also saw some videos and still feel lost regarding this exercise...

on 11.1.4

I have Order System Object... and I do know how to find element and spy element in Object Studio.

How to make the input data from a excel file be processed to the application input fields of OS?

Hi rpa_t,

On 11.1.4, I didn't find what you are referring to. It was about something else (Launching Order System).

"How to make the input data from a excel file be processed to the application input fields of OS?"

To answer your question, a Writer stage is used to write the values to any particular field.

I've tried my best to not give you the complete details as well as convey what is required to be done :).

Thank you.
I already had a Write stage in the BO. It seems more like the Emptied Data (that is already marked as complete in the Work Queue) doesn't seem available in the Write Stage of the BO... I don't think I can explain better....is it possible to send you my file?

>>Internal : Failed to evaluate expression in row 1 of Write Stage 'Writer2' on page 'addData' - The collection has no current row<<

page addData is on BO OrdSys

Hi rpa_t,

Try these things...

▪ "the Emptied Data (that is already marked as complete in the Work Queue) doesn't seem available in the Write Stage of the BO"
Can you try the Write stage before marking the queue item as complete.


▪ "...The collection has no current row<<"
Check these options:
-Are you trying to access some collection in the Writer stage that has no active row in it.
-Are you adding something to a collection somewhere in the diagram without first adding a new row to it using the 'Add Row' action of the Collection VBO.

If correcting the above doesn't have any effect then
- are you able to show any screenshots of your diagram?
- if yes also show the properties of Write Stage 'Writer2' on page 'addData'

It always says that the collection fields are defined but cannot be matched to the incoming collection... The collection definition doesn't contain the field X... and the X varies... product code... quantity....
I'm getting crazy over two weeks trying to deal with this... it's really affecting my mood because im hours and hours trying to figure it... seing videos... asking help...

Hi rpa_t,

Hope you got a chance to take a look at my response to you.

If correcting the above doesn't have any effect then
- are you able to show any screenshots of your diagram?
- if yes also show the properties of Write Stage 'Writer2' on page 'addData'

Also, what is the stage and which action are you using where you see this collection error?

Re-entered the above question here....

Here is the summarized version of the questions.
1. At which stage are you seeing this collection error you mentioned?
2. Which action are you using on that stage where you see this collection error? (Action means the one in the dropdown after you open the properties of that stage)
3. Are you able to successfully get the data into the DataEmpty collection?
4. If yes, Share the screenshot of the data in the DataEmpty collection after it is populated.

Also show the asked prints from the business object...

Hi rpa_t,

There is a clear difference in the column names between the DataEmpty and the retrieveQueue collections.

Quantity <-> Number Required
Cost Centre <-> Cost

*Are you adding the worksheet collection to a different queue and using a different queue for the Get Next item?
*Make sure about the queue names.
*Also use the other action that says 'Get Worksheet as Collection' without the Fast one.

Adding to the above, you should not be adding any columns to the retrieveQueue collection. It will be added automatically during the Get Next Item.
Remove those columns if you added them. Delete the collection and just press the small button next to retrieveQueue in the Store In column of Get Next item.

I'm using the same "OrderQueue"
I checked
The exercise demands the Fast Get Worksheet...

It stills gives the error about the quantity.

Edited: fields deleted... i got a new error

Good news! I got a item, finally, from the OrdersQueue...
Now I'm assuming I have to loop and get the other and then input one by one in the fields of the App?

I had sucess! So, from now on I will try to do the rest by myself, to improve learning curve...
A huuuuge thank you!sucess.png
