# Issue More Details
16936 Predefined query execution error. When attempting to run a predefined SQL query with a WHERE clause using the IN operator and passing values as variables, the query results in blank output.
16827 Phantom edits in wizards. After updating the Guide-me bubble text in a single wizard in Nintex Studio, multiple edits are erroneously logged in the Changes History section for steps that were not modified.
16826 Single edit not getting saved in wizard. When making a change to the Guide-me bubble text in a wizard in Studio 22.3 and receiving a successful save message, the change is not actually saved until an additional edit is made. Additionally, closing the window triggers a "Would You Like To Save" message despite the recent save.
16928 Wizard changes fail to save if focus remains on the text field. When editing the Guide-me bubble text in a wizard, changes are not saved if the focus stays on the text field, preventing updates from being applied.
17021 Embedded wizard fails to retrieve OAuth mail data, causing email sending to fail. While standalone wizard successfully retrieves email credentials from the vault and sends emails, when embedded within another wizard, OAuth mail data retrieval fails, resulting in unsuccessful email sending.
16751 Inconsistent behavior of the hover-over dialogue box for the Robot/Assistant icon in the system tray. While hovering over the assistant taskbar icon displays the expected Kryon: Click for support dialogue box, it sometimes appears at random locations on the screen, particularly in the top left corner, and persists until the application is closed. The occurrence seems sporadic, with no specific pattern identified yet. Although more frequent on Windows 11, it has also been reported on Windows 10. This issue affects both the Nintex Assistant (attended) and Nintex Robot (unattended).
16948 Errors encountered during the import of a wizard. The import process of a wizard is encountering errors, resulting in a completion message indicating "Data import complete with errors." Additionally, errors are being logged in the Seq logs, indicating issues with the import process.
16715 Imported wizards lack change history. Wizards imported into the system are missing the historical record of changes associated with them. This issue is observed in RPA server version 22.9.3.4, including the clients.
392289 Failure to display regex output in the test variable. Despite successfully capturing text, the wizard fails to display the result using the regex advanced command. After importing the provided .lwiz and PDF files and running the wizard, the test variable remains empty, indicating a problem with regex output presentation.
16996 Duplicate presentation of the same variable in GetWizardVariables. When a user initializes the same variable twice within the wizard, the GetWizardVariables function presents duplicate results. The expected behavior is to display the duplicated variable only once.
398027 Nintex RPA installation fails with a domain user account. Despite adding the domain user account to the local admin group on the VM and using it as the service account, the Nintex RPA installation continues to fail, citing insufficient permissions.

Previous releases

What's New?

  • System Manager
    • The System Manager is now available as the primary tool for installing the product, and replaces the previous installation tools. Use the System Manager to configure and install the product either using the command-line interface (Silent installation) or the user interface.

  • These Advanced Commands (AC) were upgraded to Dynamic Advanced Commands (DACs) with improvements and bug fixes:

  • SAP commands

  • Support for Microsoft Graph API

    • This simplifies development, improves security, and aligns with Microsoft's cloud services strategy, enabling you to leverage the full range of Microsoft 365 capabilities.

  • Forward Compatibility for DACs (Dynamic Advanced Commands)

    • You can now grant permissions for the new RPA version to work with all future DAC versions without any version-specific dependencies.

  • Proxy Triggers now offer support for internal load balancers (for HA use case).

  • Initiating cross-platform support

    • This release introduces the first phase of cross-platform compatibility, enabling Kubernetes deployment and laying the groundwork for cloud-based product deployment.

  • Nintex RPA applications were updated to be compatible with the .NET 6 framework.

  • Starting from version 23.11, our Window detection feature now includes support for Universal Windows Platform (UWP) applications obtained from the Microsoft Store.

  • Since Google Chrome 25, you can no longer directly enable Chrome extensions. This is due to Google Chrome's security policies. Extensions installed by third party programs using external extension deployment options are disabled by default. When a third party program installs an extension, the Chrome menu is badged, and users can click through the Chrome menu to see a dialog containing an option to enable the extension, or to remove it from their computer. In addition, all extensions previously installed using external deployment options are automatically disabled. Chrome will show a one-time prompt to allow the re-enabling of any of the extensions. See the following resources for more information:

  • In version 23.11.0, High Availability (HA) installation is not supported. However, starting from version 23.11.1, support for HA deployment will be reintroduced, and HA deployment will be installed using WiX.

# Issue More Details
15257 Robots fail to retrieve their credentials from the credential vault. Robots intermittently failed to retrieve correct passwords, causing user account lockouts. The issue, initially resolved after an upgrade, reoccurred recently with increased frequency. The problem was suspected to be linked to high database load due to frequent credential requests. It was resolved by optimizing the credential retrieval process.
15529 RPA 22.9.2.1 Beta environment upgrade - HTML Window not found issue Click on HTML page is not reliable. The wizard reports that the window is not found when it doesn’t work.
15911 Attended Robot cannot find keyword searches The customer has three companies and three separate wizard catalogs on their server. However, when using the attended robot, search results are only displaying items from one catalog (IAM) instead of the desired catalog (Library). It seems that the search results consistently draw from the first catalog, regardless of the user's permissions.
15329 Inconsistency in the Credential Vault of the production server The Credentials Vault in Studio is mixing up credentials in the OAuth Authentication tab when connecting them to the general users.
15271 Cannot create Oracle Database Trigger 22.x There is an issue with creating Oracle Database Trigger in version 22.9.1.
16093 NSM Nintex RPA import wizard error When attempting to export and import a wizard from the Dev to Prod customer environments, there have been issues. Sometimes the import process completes with errors, and the wizard doesn't get imported. Occasionally, the wizard is imported successfully without errors. However, any attempt to add something extra, such as a blank note, consistently results in failure during the import process.
16083 KryonRDPService is not working KryonRDPService consistently crashes when attempting to start it. In a tested VM environment, the service previously ran successfully but now stops abruptly without displaying error or warning messages after a few seconds of operation. Despite checking various parameters and configurations, including memory, CPU, and protocol ports, the service continues to crash approximately one minute after each restart.
15745 Python run script and errors not shown in Studio and Robot There is a change in how Python script output and errors are handled between software versions 21.10.7 and 22.9.2. In 21.10.7, both script output and errors are combined and displayed in the output, while in 22.9.2, the output appears to be empty, and errors are not displayed as part of the script execution. This impacts users working with Python scripts in these versions.
15559 Slowness of working in Studio while editing large wizard There is a significant performance slowdown when working with wizards containing a large number of Advanced Commands (ACs). This slowness affects various actions such as clicking, scrolling, editing if-else commands, group operations, and script saving. The problem is consistent across different machines, including both client and server Studio installations. This issue started occurring after upgrading to version 21.10 and may be related to the introduction of DACs.

15509

 Can't select UID field in Oracle DB trigger In the Console Trigger using OracleDB strings, the database is fetched successfully, but the User ID (UID) field is not available for selection. The drop-down list for UID does not open. This problem has been replicated in the environment running version 22.9.1.
15416 Problem with the Auto Save. The backup folder is empty Clicking "Open Backup Folder" from the studio settings for auto-save backup leads to an empty folder. Upon investigation, it was discovered that the backups are being saved in a different location. In customer environments, instead of being saved under the "Administrator" path, they are stored under the machine name path.
15258 Select credential by display name not working in email When using a variable in the email Advanced Command, the system fails to gather the correct user.
16520 Bit depth of query from Excel AC When querying an Excel table with 271 columns using the SELECT * clause, only 256 columns are returned instead of the expected 271. This issue does not occur for tables with fewer than 256 columns.
15541 Issues with normal/debug wizard run mode - Kryon Studio 22.9.2.1 After an upgrade from 5.25 to 22.9.2.1, the customer reported that the Do it and Debug modes are not working properly.
15115 DAC variables - getting an error for Mathematics DAC (happens both in AC and in DAC) When attempting to add a Mathematics DAC and two variables, an error message is displayed stating "Operand can contain a number or a single variable."
15146 Get Array Data Advanced Command - Unable to view/access Error Handling section When using a desktop resolution lower than 1920x1080, some of the Advanced Command window's error handling sections are partially blocked. You cannot view or add error variables because there is no scroll bar that allows you to see what's hidden.
15112 Variables DAC - Change Case DAC - when selecting an option it bounces back to previous option When attempting to change the case in the "Change Case" DAC from Uppercase to Capitalize Each Word and clicking OK, the UI reopens automatically with the previous value.

What's New?

  • Nintex Workflow (formally Nintex Workflow Cloud) Integration:

  • Thirteen HTML Advanced Commands were migrated to Dynamic Advanced Commands.

(Undefined variable: BrandingNintex.Nintex Kryon RPA) 22.3.1 brings new features, security capabilities, and improvements to our stability and performance, thereby paving the way for the implementation of our cloud-based solution.

New features and enhancements

We now integrated the CyberArk OS Credential into the Console Plus.

CyberArk is a Privileged Access Management (PAM) tool that securely manages your sensitive data. You can now manage your credentials from the Credentials Vault, or the CyberArk Vault with the highest security standards.

For more information on CyberArk OS integration

Remote Triggers are available for FCAaaS deployments.

As more and more enterprises are moving to SaaS software, we've added the ability to choose between the local machine or the cloud. Triggers can now be managed from the Kryon server and micro-services can now manage solutions on the local machine.

Trigger Proxy

You were tired of the dependencies and limitations of Advanced Commands, and we heard your requests for a change.

  • We now support Java AC custom tables.

  • You can now verify the text inside the button that you want to choose. For example, a button that has the text OK or Cancel is now recognized not just by the button, but also by the text inside the button.

Along with refactoring the Java engines to be more robust, scalable, and with higher test coverage, we migrated the Java Advanced Commands to Dynamic Advanced Commands.

Java Dynamic Commands (DAC)

In place of full installation packages, our new Kryon Distribution System (Package Manager) provides the ability to distribute smaller packages like DACs, upgrades, and other Kryon software (like Studio + extensions).

Distribution System

Our Attended Robot Search is new and improved.

Using dtSearch, our advanced Attended Robot Search engine can perform searches across any field type, it supports a wide variety of data types and the use of Boolean operators, and the index automatically updates after saving new data.

We have implemented functionality to automatically update the search index when a wizard's details change.

Attended Robot Search Engine

We have added Trigger APIs to our vast selection of Wizard, Queue, and Task APIs.

New features and enhancements

Using the Operational Hours feature, you can now determine the active time of a queue as well as create calendars to determine the off time of a Queue. Have a system shutdown at night? Want to prioritize one queue over the other? Want to set specific working hours for a queue? Or maybe you simply don't want any automation activities to run on weekends or during holidays? Now it is all under your control using the new Operational Hours feature.

Simply configure the "Operational Hours" of your automations as you wish and then assign it to the relevant queue.

Queue Operational Hours

As more and more enterprises are moving to SaaS software, we've added support for online (365) SharePoint as well so customers can use any SharePoint repository needed (SP Online and SP Server). You can now set your file and folder triggers to work on an online SP and use the latest file and folder DAC updates to connect and interact with online SP as well.

Connect Triggers to SharePoint Online

Studio and Robot are now ready to handle any fresh command (DAC) you can think of. Using the unique SDK, any partner and user can now create a new DAC and upload it to the system.

Advanced Commands SDK Guidelines

We recently introduced you to the new native way to support Citrix. The Remote Controller, using the Dynamic Commands, allows the user to have a seamless experience when recording and executing any task on a Citrix server. Now, we've added a mechanism that monitors the Remote Controller (installed on the Citrix server) to recover the connection automatically without any human intervention.

  • No more Installerware – all installers were refactored and are now working on Wix.

  • Dynamic Advanced Commands project is now aligned with the upcoming Studio+.

  • Performance and security improvements.

  • Copy text from a bubble (#9210):

  • Attended customers can now copy/paste text written in the bubble.

  • Improved customized design for bubbles and tips (#3069):

  • Using a bubble? Want to customize the looks to match your company’s brand? Now you can pick a custom looks using this new feature.

  • Anchored bubble now has “wait for the object to appear” functionality (#3071):

  • When using anchored bubbles, the system can now sample if the object has already appeared.

  • Ability to resize the script command’s editor (#9906):

  • The RPA developer can resize the run script editor’s window to have a full view of an inputted script.

  • Java commands now support PLM application (#6637)

Bug Fixes

# Issue More Details
14781 DAC fix: Create folder DAC returned a "GeneralError" when the folder already existed and the folder’s path returned value is blank. The fix is that the Create Folder DAC returns a “FolderExist” error when the folder already exists and the folder’s path returned value is the folder’s path.

If the RPA installation is configured on a drive other than C, the RabbitMQ folder might still install its components on drive C. This happens particularly when upgrading and selecting to install (Undefined variable: BrandingNintex.Nintex Kryon RPA) on a drive different than the existing default one (C).

-

We’re pleased to announce some great new features and performance improvements in (Undefined variable: BrandingNintex.Nintex Kryon RPA) Release 21.4.

  • (Undefined variable: BrandingNintex.Nintex Kryon RPA) versions prior to 19.5 are no longer supported.

  • Personal Queues (tasks created using "Add automation task to queue" in Hybrid mode) are not supported (see more details here).

  • The option to Generate a keytab via a dedicated button in the installer is no longer supported. Instead, we provide you with the option to copy the commands to generate a keytab (see the updated step in the Installation and Upgrade Guide > Authentication Platform Security).

New features and enhancements

Get acquainted with the new and simplified Task and Robot management in Console Plus. The new console includes a new and smart Queue Manager mechanism that does all the heavy lifting for you. From now on, the Robots work for the Queues that you create.

Major highlights include:

  • A shift in Robots task assignment - From working in groups to working for Queues

  • Create as many Queues as you desire and let the Queue Manager handle the tasks

  • New prioritization levels ranging from 10 (highest) to 1 (lowest) that allow for more customization and flexibility

    • Change task priority at any time - Something came up and you need to have a task completed now? No problem, simply change the priority to "Run Immediately".

  • No more ghost robots! Using the auto recovery process, the Unattended automation service keeps the robots communication up and running as long as it is possible

  • Option to run tasks immediately - Need to run a specific task ASAP? We added an easy and simple way to do it.

  • Live data updates in real-time (no need to refresh the page anymore!)

See Robots, Queues, Tasks and Triggers smartly linked

No more dependencies or limitations when working with advanced commands. The new commands are dynamic, and they know how to move. You can now simply run a dedicated installer to deploy new/fixed command onto Studio, without the need to upgrade the whole RPA solution.

  • Experiencing an issue with a specific command is resolved easily by simply replace that command with a fixed one.

  • Missing a specific command? We 'll create it, you'll run the Dynamic Command Installer, and there you have it.

We've already created the first batch of Dynamic Commands that includes:

  • Excel - The new commands are offering faster execution, easy troubleshooting and you don’t even need to have Excel installed!

  • UI automation - More options, more power. FlaUI2 and FlaUI3 are both supported inside a single command and offer a wider range of discovered objects and tables. This is relevant to both recording and playing automation.

  • Folder - We took everything out, cleaned it, refactored it and added automation testing to fit our new standards

Available Dynamic Commands

We are now offering a new native way to support Citrix (both application and desktop publish). The new Remote Controller, using the Dynamic Commands, allows a seamless user experience when recording and executing any task on a Citrix server. The Remote Controller also serves for other remote servers in the future. At this stage we offer limited UI Automation commands.

Since Microsoft declared the EOL of Internet Explorer, Edge Chromium was identified as the official inheritor for many companies. As a result, we now officially support MS Edge Chromium (sharing the same extension as Chrome). Note that there is no plan to remove the IE functionality you’re familiar with today.

All you need to do is install Kryon's connector and start recording.

Basic Authentication was enabled by default on most servers and services, which makes it easier for attackers armed with today’s tools. This has led Microsoft to publish an announcement and update their security by shifting to a modern Authentication supporting MFA. Following this change, we've updated the authentication method as relevant to support the new Microsoft update.

Note, this change only affects Microsoft Exchange Online.

more details

Forget about unique ports and many of the old configurations. We eliminated The Discovery and Controller services, tossed away the Player and Studio services and replaced it all with the latest modern technology (GraphQL). Improved stability and easy troubleshooting are only the cornerstone of the improvements enabled by these changes.

(Undefined variable: BrandingNintex.Nintex Kryon RPA) Unattended solution is now available in active-active mode.

  • The performance has significantly improved when shifting between the servers since both servers are up.

  • The active-active mode also allows for triggers to be activated on both servers which eliminates any possible trigger-activation issues as both servers are up.

  • UI Automation Extract Table - A new optimized selector

  • UI Automation Detect Table Size - Automatically detect table size (both columns and rows)

  • UI Automation Controls - Mapping UI Controls covering common use cases

  • Citrix Support - UI Automation Dynamic Commands now support Citrix

more details

  • Certified server Installer is now available (Citrix Remote Controller)

  • A seamless experience of recording and playing UI Automation and Excel commands (DAC)

  • Client installer for both Robot and Studio (Citrix Remote Driver)

Fully automatic migration for pre v21.4 upgrades. We reduced all the migration manual steps to none. Simply run the installation and the rest is on us.

LogOn Expert is upgraded to the latest version available.

Oath Authentication is now available from the console vault as well.

Customer feature requests

The Studio AutoSave mechanism now enables you to automatically backup wizards you are working on, on a shared storage.

You can now choose another way to sort the information on the trigger tasks page

Using the “log an action” advanced command, you can now watch the task page in Console Plus and get real-time updates on the task progress. View live data and robots work progress easily.

We've added the latest version of FlaUI, the engine used for UI Automation connectors. The latest update now enables more functionality and can interact with more, previously not supported components systems.

We updated the Python version to 3.7.9 used in the Advanced Commands and it is now up-to-date.

If you are using the "Insert Password" command to insert a password into a field that is adjacent to a dynamic image (a changing image), then you know that there is a chance the Robot won't identify the password field correctly due to the changing image. In such cases, we've got you covered with a new configuration you can turn on to eliminate such miss-identification cases.
