Use the components and methods in the Utilities folder to build automations by interacting with logs, messages, processes, system information, and other functions in applications.

• Advanced utility components

  Use the advanced utility components to add Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and Windows High Level Language Application Program Interface (WinHLLAPI) functionality to your automations.

• LogController methods

  Use the LogController methods to manage logging to the PegaRobotRuntime.log file.

• Log components and methods

  Use the log component and methods to add messages to the PegaRobotRuntime.log file, and to specify the log level.

• Messages methods and components

  Use these options to display message boxes, input boxes, or toast notifications in your automations.

• Process methods

  Use the methods in the Process folder (under Utilities) to start, stop, and interact with processes in an application.

• System information methods

  Obtaining system information, such as available memory or the operating system version, can be important when developing automations. For example, you might need to make sure the computer that you are interacting with has sufficient resources, the latest security updates, or the necessary functionality.

• Unit test automations

  Create unit test automations to test automations or subautomations from the command line for deployed Robot Studio packages.
