Adding and Interrogating an HTML application as an Adapter

Report

Hi, I am trying to add an HTML application ( type of file is .hta ) - It is actually an application launcher.

I have added it as a windows adapter with the path property set as the application location, start method as start and wait and target path set as the process.exe file for the HTML application.

When I click on start interrogation , the HTML application does not open properly ( some fields are greyed out while no content is there in drop downs etc ).

Also, I am getting a script error which says "an error has occurred in the script on this page".

I would like the HTML application to open properly without issues.

Any help will be appreciated.

Regards,

Shivanshu

Try opening the application with MonitorAll StartMethod. Does it give you the same results?

Yes, MonitorAll does not Start the application. You have to start it manually after starting interrogation.

I am getting the same error with MonitorAll as well. I guess HTML Applications ( .hta file type ) are not supported by Pega Robotics Studio.

Microsoft HTML Applications are not directly supported by Pega Robotics, we can make it work by using the below steps.

1.Create Shortcut (.lnk)for the executable application (.hta),Make sure it is running fine through shortcut file.

2.Add windows application to the Adapter or Project in OpenSpan Solution.

3.In properties of Windows application ,Locate or Choose the .lnk file as Path & mshta.exe as TargetPath, Start Method as StartAndWait.

4.Click on Start Interrogation,you should be able to Interrogate the controls of the application & develop automation.
