Exception Handling

[ShraddhaPavagi2]

Hi All,


I am getting below exception while executing the code.

Could not execute code stage because exception thrown by code stage: The message filter indicated that the application is busy. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8001010A (RPC_E_SERVERCALL_RETRYLATER))

Can any one please tell why I am getting this type exception and how to resolve it.

Hi Shraddha

Why do I get error "Exception from HRESULT: 0x8001010A (RPC_E_SERVERCALL_RETRYLATER)" when creating an MS Excel file?

This is a Microsoft error and is not related to Blue Prism  The error usually occurs when MS Excel is not ready to handle your call (for example, if the user is busy editing a cell or pressing the mouse button). 

The following two threads on the Microsoft forum may help you to address this error:

• COM IMessageFilter vs. Exception Handling in a Retry Loop?
• Multi-threading

Hi everyone.

My solution was very simple.
I found the core of the problem: the Excel setting. If you have some information that updates while the opening - switch it off.
Example: Pivot Table. Do not allow to refresh data while opening Excel.

Hi Iryna,

I came across the same error while I'm using the Open Workbook in Blue Prism MS Excel VBO-Extended. This happens because excel contains pivot tables, where 'refresh data when opening the file' is checked (in Pivot table's options). However I can't change it to false programmatically in Blue Prism before using the Open Workbook. Did you manage to solve this one?

Thanks,
Theo
