| Vancouver | [Code quality check](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=code-quality-check-rpa&family=vancouver&ft:locale=en-US) : RPA release managers or RPA admins select code quality check rules from a pre-defined set in the RPA Hub instance. Then, the RPA Desktop Design Studio performs an in-built code quality check before publishing a package. RPA developers can also perform a pro-active code quality check on a package in the RPA Desktop Design Studio, by inspecting an activity or a complete automation project for any issues by using the Code Quality Check feature. The issues and their details are displayed in the Code Quality Check Results window. Troubleshoot the issues before you publish the automation project to RPA Hub. For more information on how to perform the code quality check in RPA Desktop Design Studio, see [Code quality check in RPA Desktop Design Studio](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=code-quality-check-studio&family=vancouver&ft:locale=en-US). If an error or a warning occurs in the automation, a decision is derived if the package can be published successfully or not, based on the system property configuration (error, warning, or no restrictions). To view a list of the pre-defined code quality rules in the RPA Hub instance, see [Code quality rules list](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=cqr-list-rpa&family=vancouver&ft:locale=en-US). View a code quality rule form along with the type and description. For more information, see [Code quality rule form](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=cqr-form-rpa&family=vancouver&ft:locale=en-US). In the code quality rule form, RPA release managers and admins can edit the Severity, Regular Expression, Active, and Value fields. To enable the code quality check at the instance level, ensure that you mark the new system property sn_rpa_fdn.enable_code_quality_check as true. Additionally, configure the following system properties: * sn_rpa_fdn.restrict_package_by_severity - To set a restriction on publishing a package from RPA Desktop Design Studio and publishing a bot process in RPA Hub. * sn_rpa_fdn.code_quality_check_timeout - To enter a maximum duration, in minutes, for the completion of the code quality check. These system properties are effective only when the code quality check feature sn_rpa_fdn.enable_code_quality_check is enabled. For more information about these properties and values, see [Configure RPA Hub properties](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=rpahub-sys-properties&family=vancouver&ft:locale=en-US).

[Storage of process execution data in flat files](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=bot-process-form&family=washingtondc&ft:locale=en-US) : In RPA Hub, you can configure the output type as flat files for the execution logs that are generated on the robot machine. On the Bot Process form, select an output type of the execution log file from the Output Type field from the Log Settings section. This field appears when the Track Execution Logs option is selected and when the Robot Machine is selected from the Storage field. The location of the flat files is Users\\\\\ServiceNow RPA Logs\\.executionlogs\\{InstanceName}\\.archive\\{ProcessJob number} in the machine on which you have installed the attended or unattended robot. If the size of the flat file exceeds 10 MB, it splits into multiple flat files with the log sequence appended to the file names until it executes the automation. A flat file doesn't log the data of input or output ports in a component or method that you have selected as Mark Data as Sensitive in the RPA Desktop Design Studio. [New Actions and Subflow](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=rpa-hub-actions&family=washingtondc&ft:locale=en-US) : Invoke the following new actions and subflow in : * Change Life Cycle Stage Status of a Bot Process Action to modify the life cycle stage status of a bot process that is not retired. * Stop Process Action and Stop Process subflow to stop a bot process. If the robot pool option is enabled for the bot process, it stops all the robots assigned to the pool. If Graceful Stop is enabled, it provides a capability for robots to exit the automation smoothly. Graceful Stop is not applicable for bot processes with the robot pool option enabled. [Wait for any screen method at the Universal App Connector level](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=use-the-wait-for-any-screen-method&family=washingtondc&ft:locale=en-US) : In RPA Desktop Design Studio, the WaitForAnyScreen method appears in the Object Explorer pane when you double-click the Universal App connector object under the Global Objects pane. The WaitForAnyScreen method finds an application screen within a specified duration, and then you can enable it to pass the control to another method. You can set up multiple application screens that appear in an order on the method, and the WaitForAnyScreen method tries to find a screen starting from the first application screen by matching the screen match rules. If the method doesn't find a screen, it tries to find the next screen in the order. However, if the method finds a screen, it completes execution and doesn't proceed to the screens next in the order. If the method doesn't find any screen within the specified duration, you may optionally enable it to pass the control to another component through the ELSE port. [SetPassword Method](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=connectors-chrome-methods&family=washingtondc&ft:locale=en-US) : In RPA Desktop Design Studio, the SetPassword method automates securely entering a password in the password field of a web-based, Java, or Windows application. It accepts the password as a SECURE STRING type and then enters it in the password field. [SimulateMouseEvent Method](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=connectors-chrome-methods&family=washingtondc&ft:locale=en-US) : In the RPA Desktop Design Studio, the SimulateMouseEvent method automates simulating a mouse event on an element on a web-based application. For example, automate the right-click mouse event on a button to open a context menu. The screen element on which the mouse event occurs must priorly have the mouse event defined in the HTML. The method supports a list of mouse events and mouse button types. [IEnumerable data type port in connectors](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=table-connector&family=washingtondc&ft:locale=en-US) : The IEnumerable input data type enables methods to accept arrays, array lists, and lists. This input data type port is available in multiple connectors. [Universal App connector supports Shadow DOM elements](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=configure-uac&family=washingtondc&ft:locale=en-US) : The XPath and the CssSelector locators in the Universal App connector shows the full XPath and CSS path with the Shadow DOM elements, if a web application uses Shadow DOM. | | Xanadu | No updates for this release. | [ ] Changes ------- Between your current release family and Xanadu, some changes were made to existing Robotic Process Automation (RPA) Hub features. {#dfrn3-roboticprocessautomationrpahub-summary__entry__18} | Release | Release notes | |---------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Vancouver | View access to business users robot calendar : In RPA Hub, business users can view the robot calendar along with schedules for robot pool enabled bot processes and scheduled maintenance days.
