RPA(UiPath)

Do the Automation by creating Workflow of Process.
Good Part about this tool is (can call .Net function in condition like .Trim, ToString, etc)

UiPath consist of 3 part

1) UiPath Robot - Robots can work unattended (run without human supervision in any environment, be it virtual or not) or as assistants (human triggers the process).


2) UiPath Orchestrator (server) - a web application that enables you to deploy, schedule, job, monitor and manage Robots and processes. It consists of

• Robot  -list of robot available in environment
• Process - list of process
• Asset - list of asset that is reusable component
• Queues - list of Pending task
• Schedules - list of scheduled process
• Job - list of jobs created
• Logs - capture the running process log

3) UiPath Studio (Client) - it uses .NET workflow and it helps us to design automation processes in a visual manner, through diagrams.

The UiPath Studio interface

Activities panel - contains all the actions we need to automate different applications - like clicking and typing - and other data-processing actions
Workflow Designer - this is where you build your automation project
Properties panel - where you can change different parameters and settings of the selected activity

• Workflow - Can create by Flowchart (Complex process) and Sequence (small process)  or we can use sequence as reusable part in flowchart
• Variable - we can define type,scope,value
• Activities - 300 activities related to programming,Web services, Email, web,window,Citrix,excel, pdf, database,OCR,Image recognizance, Terminal,SAP etc
• 4 Type of Recorder - Basic, Desktop, Web, Citrix
• UIExplorer - Use to catch control
• Data scraping - Extract the data from web application
• Publish - Publish to workflow to connected orchestrator
• Debugging and exception handling

• Excel Automation
• PDF Automation
• Citrix Automation
• Email Automation
• SAP Automation
• Project organization
• User event

Best Practices

• Bot must be reliable, efficient, maintainable, extensible
• choose appropriate wf
• Flowchart: Main wf is best suited
• Easier to understand
• Overview of full process
• easier to test
• Break process in small workflow (invoke command)
• Sequence- Suited for sequential workflow
• Use try-catch
