Robot step enhancements

In the Email step, the two new actions are now available:

• Open email folder: Connects to an email server and opens the selected email folder.

• Extract attachment from email: Extracts attachments from an email and stores them in the binary variable without opening the email.

In both Email and For Each Email steps, the table that represents the opened folder in the Recorder View contains the new Attachment count column showing the number of email attachments.

New component actions are added:

• Open message as HTML: Opens an email as an HTML web page, using the Chromium built-in browser.

• Get attachment: Retrieves the attachment binary data and stores it in a variable.

See Email and For Each Email in the Kofax RPA Help.

When opening a file, select the file access option: Direct Access, Via RFS, or From Variable.

See Excel in Kofax RPA Help.

Execute SQL and Query Database steps now have a Timeout option:

• In Robots, select Timeout for submitting SQL statements in seconds. If the timeout is reached, the DeviceIssue exception is thrown.

• In Basic Engine Robots, specify the Timeout for submitting SQL statements in seconds by selecting a variable of defining the preferred timeout value. If the timeout is reached, the action stops executing with an error message specific to the database.

The Lock Status action is added to the list of actions. It performs a test for read/write locks on Windows files.

Be aware that Lock Status is not available on the Robot File System and Linux.

See File System Action in the Kofax RPA Help.
