Dear, I have developed a bot in PAD. where I am validating two excels data and the data is max of 100 rows.
I have put everything is place. i have run the bot it ran successfully but the weird thing is it took 1 hr to validating that 100 rows data from two excels.
 
I don't understand why it took so much time, same thing can be done withing 2 mins using Automation Anywhere.
 
Please help me how can i make it so fast as this slowness is not acceptable. How can i make it so fast.

    Hello,

    How are you running the PAD flow? Are you running it from the cloud or just from the desktop app?
    If you are running it from the desktop app I recommend running the flow from the main screen without the flow open in edit window.


    If you run the flow from edit window then it will be much slower than running it normally. Running it from edit screen is only for debugging purposes so you see each step and its by design not lightning fast in edit/debug mode. If you want to run it from edit window then change the Run delay (on the bottom of the screen) to be 1ms. That will still be slower than normal but much faster than the default 100ms.



    Hope this helps.
