Sending documents to FC (attended and unattended service scenarios)

To send a file to ABBYY FlexiCapture:
  1. Open the Automation Anywhere Enterprise Client.
  2. In the list of available tasks, select ExportToFlexiCaptureExample and click Edit.
  3. Specify the path to the ABBYY FlexiCapture server. To do this, double-click the Variable Operation action of the $ServerURL$ and type in the server address in the dialog box that opens.
  4. Specify the values of the other required parameters:
    1. $Username$ – the name of the user on the ABBYY FlexiCapture server
    2. $Password$ – the password of the user on the ABBYY FlexiCapture server
    3. $ProjectName$ – the name of the uploaded project (i.e. InvoiceDemoProject)
    4. $InputFilePath$ – the path to one of the sample images provided with the MetaBot
The activity only works with files containing one document each (i.e. each document must be placed in a separate file).
  1. $OutputDirPath$ – the path to the folder where processing results will be stored
If you are using tenants, $Company$ is also a required parameter. To enable this parameter, right-click the Variable Operation action and click Enable for the $Company$ parameter. Next, specify the name of your tenant.
  1. To test-run the task, save the changes by clicking Save in the Task Editor and click Run.
The image file will be sent to FC and you will get back either a link to the verification page (in the case of an attended scenario) or processing results (in the case of an unattended scenario).
If an error occurs while the task is running, information about the error will be recorded in a log file, which can be found here: %Userprofile%\Documents\Automation Anywhere Files\Log\My Tasks\Bot Store\FC-MetaBot\ExporterErrorLog.txt.

Getting processing results in the attended service scenario

To get verified processing results:
  1. Complete the steps in Sending documents to ABBYY FlexiCapture (attended and unattended service scenarios).
  2. Open the Automation Anywhere Enterprise Client.
  3. In the list of available tasks, select ImportFromFlexiCaptureExample and click Edit.
  4. In the Task Editor dialog box, specify the values of the following required parameters:
    1. $ServerURL$ – the address of the ABBYY FlexiCapture server
    2. $Username$ – the name of the user on the ABBYY FlexiCapture server
    3. $Password$ – the password of the user on the ABBYY FlexiCapture server
    4. $ProjectName$ – the name of the ABBYY FlexiCapture project
    5. $OutputDirPath$ – the path to the folder where processing results will be stored
If you are using tenants, $Company$ is also a required parameter.
  1. To test-run the task, save the changes by clicking Save in the Task Editor and click Run.
The ABBYY FlexiCapture server will receive a request to check the output folder for suitable processing results. Since the previously sent document has not yet been verified, a message will be displayed saying that there are no suitable processing results. For instruction on verifying documents in ABBYY FlexiCapture, see Verification in the attended service scenario.
If an error occurs while the task is running, information about the error will be recorded in a log file, which can be found here: %Userprofile%\Documents\Automation Anywhere Files\Log\My Tasks\Bot Store\FC-MetaBot\ImporterErrorLog.txt
