JR64070: IBM RPA UPDATE SCREEN CACHE NOT WORKING WITH SAP

Download IBM Robotic Process Automation 21.0.1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When an interface is updated (controls are added/changed), we
  need to use the "Update screen cache" parameters, so IBM RPA
  takes a new snapshot of the application.
  In version 21.0.0, this stopped working with SAP. Commands that
  used to need this option now fail with
  "ControlNoutFoundException"
  

Local fix
