Return Value

This action returns a value from the robot.

The value is returned back to the client that initiated this robot run. This would normally be Java or .Net code using the Kofax RPA API to execute robots on RoboServer. The Return Value step action is also used to return values as Kapplet results and REST responses.

Prior to version 7.2 of Kapow the returned value may also be handled by a storage environment, that stored the value in a database. From Kapow version 7.2 and forward, values are stored in databases using the Store in Database action.

Properties

The Return Value action can be configured using the following properties:

Basic tab: Variable
Select the variable whose value should be returned.
Error handling tab: If Missing Required Attributes
Here you select what should happen if one or more of the required attributes are missing: Generate Error, Write Log Message, or Ignore.
