Dynamic Commands

No more dependencies or limitations when working with advanced commands. The new commands are dynamic, and they know how to move. A customer experiencing an issue with a specific command? No problem, replace it in a second.

Are you missing a specific command? Tell us all about it and soon you’ll be using it.

Some benefits of dynamic advanced commands (DAC):

• Excel commands offer faster execution, easy troubleshooting, and you don’t need to have Excel installed.

  Macro command is the only command that requires Excel to be installed.

• FlaUI2 and FlaUI3 (UI automation) are both supported inside a single command and offer a wider range of discovered objects and tables. This is relevant for both recording and playing automation.

  .xls and .xlsm files are supported in DACs.

  .xlsx file is supported only in ACs.

• There is no dependency between Studio and commands - dynamic commands are installed separate from the server installation.

• Bugs in commands are now easily resolved as all u need to do is to run the Rerun command.

• Citrix is supported for DACs.

In the Nintex Studio, DACs are clearly marked with a blue dot along with a tooltip text displaying the DAC version.

What happens if a dynamic command fails?

If during command run-time or editing there is an issue with the commands, the systems automatically roll back to the native command and resume working.
