Configurations

IMPORTANT NOTES:

  • Use JAVA AUTOMATION COMMANDS within recorded steps only. They are not supported for steps that are comprised solely of Advanced Commands.

  • The Advanced Command "Click on Java Object" isn't supported in Java 1.2. Workaround is available.

  • RPA v20.10, or earlier, doesn't support switching Java from 64 to 32 bit or vice-versa. This means that there is no backward compatibility when switching Java versions. If you change the version of Java, you need to re-record the wizard.
