Hi @EmersonF thanks for your response.
I am not getting any error but not getting the required script out put. The result should return 11 but it's returning empty values​.
Could you please check if it is working for you or not.

an for python we should give with \\ double back slash not single.

I found this information in the VBO documentation, see if it helps you in any way while testing if it works for me

"The output will be all resulting text that your script will have produced from its invocation. It may be necessary to modify the script so that output is delimited in such a way that required results can be easily accessed through string manipulation.
Alternatively, your script could write results to a file and then read those results into Blue Prism with a file access action."

Hi @_Amlansahoo,

Are you testing the VBO from your own process or from the test process that ships with it? If you haven't already, can you try using the test process that comes with it. I just ran it with a simple Hello World! script and it worked fine for me. Below is the script I tested with.

# This program prints Hello, world!

print('Hello, world!')
​

Cheers,

Hi @ewilson please give one example where I can pass arguments as I mentioned above.
Please see my example in the post.​
I am trying to pass arguments from blue prism to python script but it's not working.

There is one oddity I noticed when testing. If I hardcode the values for ScriptEngineFilePath, ScriptFilePath, and ScriptNameAndArguments (as you have in your screenshot) I receive an Access Denied! when trying to execute the script. However, if I place the values in Text data items and pass the data items into the call to Execute Script on the VBO, everything works as expected.

Cheers,
