Slow .NET app loading UI Element

(0) Share

Posted on by MarsNet

I'm encountering issues with a NetApp application that uses single sign-on. The login process averages between 23 seconds and 1 minute, and while I've added wait commands to compensate, they're unreliable. Once the bot is inside the UI, everything works fine.

One workaround seems to be clicking on the load object (initialization will finish quicker), but how to do this with the bot at the same time?

I'm looking for alternative methods to improve the initial login process. Does anyone have recommendations for a more efficient way to load an EXE file or launch the application?

Looked at CPU and memory too, nothing super high, thanks for the read!

In case if you are using "Run Application", Did you explore the below dropdown options?

If this is not helpful, then please share some screenshot (hide all sensitive data) and elaborate your issue?

Please find the below Microsoft guidelines for the same.
You can try last two options(Wait for application to load or wait for application to complete)

I have seen your screenshot, where you exactly facing issue please elaborate?

Essentially the SSO takes forever to load, can't send a UI click to page, I have sent command to wait until next screen appears as a workaround. We think the server may be the issue. Once the credentials are cached it seems to load quicker.

Hi @MarsNet

Did you tried using loop , so that bot checks for whether application has been loaded (like bot looking for UI Element) continoulsy within a limit until it find the UI element
