How to convert File Upload Windows pop to SAP GUI File Upload Pop up

The File Upload pop-up shown below is WIndows Pop-up. This pop-up has to be captured with UI AUtomation.This window pop-up appears when we are executing a GUI screen that has input fields that requests a File Upload.

During the execution of the BOT, it needs to shift the technology from SAP GUI to UI Automation to recognize the pop-up. Since there is a shift in technology, there is a slight delay in the recognition of the File Upload pop-up.

Hence the BEST PRACTICE is to convert this Windows File Upload pop up to a SAP GUI pop up with the below settings.

1.Switch on the Record and playback option from More -> SAP GUI settings and action -> Script Recording and Playback.

2.Click on the Record button

3.Now click on the Input field or F4 which would request for the file to be uploaded.

4.Close the Record and Playback dialog. There is no busy indicator on the SAPGUI screen. Navigate to cloud studio and do the capture.

5.Click on OK Button in the File Upload Pop-up.

6. You would receive a Security pop-up as shown below.
