What is VB.net and why use it?
• VB.NET stands for Visual Basic .net
language developed by Microsoft.
• We use VB.NET to automate
additional/advance functionalities.
• Let’s Test it

Invoke SQL Database
A database is a data structure that stores organized information.
• Database automation is used to create unattended processes and self-updating procedures for administrative tasks in a
database.
• The automation of databases and their procedures reduces errors on deployments, improves reliability, and increases the
speed of implementing changes.
Install Database Package
• Let’s Test it

Invoke Python
1. Open Studio and start a new Process.
2. Drag a Python Scope activity to the Workflow Designer. Specify the installation directory
of Python in the Path property of the Python Scope activity.
3. Drag a Load Python Script activity in the Do section of the Python Scope and add the file
path to the XXX.py (create a python file) Python script in the File property.
4. Create a new PythonObject variable and add it into the Result property field.
5. Add an Invoke Python Method activity and configure its properties as follows:
• Input Parameters - {2,3}
• Instance - Add the variable created at step 4, to this field.
• Name - Add the name of the method inside the script you want to use, in this case
add.
• Result - Create a new PythonObject variable and add it to this property field.
6.Add a Message Box activity at the end of the project and configure it to display the Result
variable.
• Let’s Test it
