Extracting structured data from the Internet automatically with the help of scripts is web data extraction. Automation Anywhere has a powerful web recorder that makes it easy to record a web data extraction task instead of writing an automation script from scratch.

To extract data you can do it 2 ways.

1. Click on the web recorder and specify URL. Navigate to the page where you want to extract data.  Click on Extract Table button on bottom bar and point at the data. Specify the filename where you want to extract data and stop recording. Save this task. Now when you run this task, Automation Anywhere will open this website, go to the desired page and extract data into file.

2. The other option to extract data is to use the Task Editor. In the task editor click on Web Recorder -> Extract Table. Enter the URL and click launch. Click on the Capture button to capture the table you want to extract from the webpage. Select the file you want the table to be saved in and click Save. Automation Anywhere will extract the table in the specified table. You can also schedule this task to run at a pre-defined time.

Extracting unstructured data from the internet is possible with Automation Anywhere. Automation Anywhere as a screen scraping software is both flexible enough to suit any kind of web technology or page format and is also non-intrusive.

To copy data with Web Recorder in the Task Editor click on Web Recorder -> Copy Data. Enter the website URL and click launch. Click on the capture button to capture the unstructured data. Data can be captured before a certain keyword or after a certain keyword.

Automation Anywhere provides two ways to deploy a task by directly clicking on the Deploy button or by using the Deployment Manager.

Clicking on the Deploy button deploys the selected task whereas going through the Deployment Manager you can deploy any task on your task list or deploy once again an already deployed task, get the status of tasks deployed, schedule a time to deploy tasks and even cleanup tasks from remote machines.

In Automation Anywhere Enterprise when a task is recorded the images of all mouse clicks and keystrokes are captured automatically. But when a task is created in Task Editor the images need to be captured on demand. SnapPoint allows you to capture images on demand; just enable SnapPoint and set it at across lines of code you want the images to be captured.

On the other hand if you have upgraded Automation Anywhere from 3.5 to 4.0 Enterprise then for all the tasks that you have images need to be captured. SnapPoint is a useful tool for capturing images.

Workflow Designer is an intuitive graphical representation of a task.

1. Ensure that you have provided the username/password: For security reasons Windows XP requires your Windows XP username & password to run scheduled task. For more information on what to do if you don't have password read Why username/password? On any other Windows operating system, if your account requires a password to log on, then you need to provide that password while scheduling the task, otherwise you don't need to provide a password.
2. If you have multiple account ensure that you have provided the correct username/password: If you have multiple accounts on same computer like one domain account and one local account, please make sure the username that you have provided is the same username you have used to login to the computer. The tasks will not work if you scheduled the task using one user Account and now you are logged into another user Account. Automation Anywhere automatically fills the username that you are logged in as.
3. Check Status in Control Panel->Scheduled Tasks window: Please go to Control Panel->Scheduled Tasks window. Select the task that corresponds to your task (it start with your task name) and right-click and select ‘Run’. See if it runs. If it does not run please see what the 'Status' column shows.
4. Schedule Calculator Application: If your task still doesn't run go to Control Panel->Scheduled Tasks. Click on Add Scheduled Task. From the list of applications, please select Calculator as shown below. If the calculator does not run then your scheduler service is not installed correctly on your computer.
