0:00 Intro
The Robotics Enterprise Framework is one of the most essential concepts in UiPath. All major companies use the REFramework (with tweaks), and the UiPath Advanced Certification is also based on it. Today we use the UiPath best practice and divide our REF robot into a dispatcher and a performer.
0:55 Understand our process
Before creating the actual REFramework we look at the process we want to automate. Always understand the process before you start building (the PDD is a vital document). We split our process into two processes: A Dispatcher and a Performer. In our process, we want to read an Excel sheet into a DataTable, add each element in the Datatable to an Orchestrator Queue and then process it with our Performer process (our actual REF). The performer does Google searches, scrapes the results, and writes it back to our Excel.
23:05 Dispatcher
The Dispatcher part in the UiPath REFramework is where we take a collection (e.g., an Excel file or database) of items and add them to the Queue. But, first, we create a Queue in Orchestrator. Then, an Asset can be made in Orchestrator to store the variables, which values change a lot. Use an Add Queue Item activity to add items to the Orchestrator Queue. Then, use the ItemInformation in Properties to pick the values you want to add to the Queue. Add a Reference as well.
35:43 Performer
The Performer part is the actual REFramework using the state machine layout. Find the Config Excel sheet in the Projects\Data folder and specify the queue name here (and add Assets). Next, we close our systems (the Edge browser) in the Initialization state and open them again. This makes sure that we get fresh applications. Next, map the arguments. Then, in the Process Transaction state, we process each queue item one by one (transaction items). Log the results back to Excel. Finally, we make error handling with a Try-Catch activity. We intentionally create an error in our data to see how we can easily handle it. Since it's an error in the data, we categorize it as a business exception.

Hi Anders! Great video =). One question from here, isn't it a bit unpractical having dispatcher and performer in 2 sepparate packages? I mean, you would need to have 2 git repositories, use 2 config files, convert reusable workflows to libraries in order to avoid mismatches, etc. Am I wrong? Thanks!

Hi Anders, i got a little problem that u may be able to help me with. So when i use a Get Asset activity to get the path for the read range i get an error "Illegal characters in path" that i dont get if i just type the exact same path into the variable directly. I made sure with a write line that the Get Asset activity is taking the path correctly and it is so I dont understand why im getting such error. Thanks in advance

@alvarorivas9429 Жыл бұрын

So in case anyone is as dumb as myself the problem was that i was introducing in orchestrator the path with the inverted commas included and that was exactly the problem, also i found out that since in the asset whatever u put in is a string if u need to add a variable inside u can put {0} to later replace it inside uipath. Example: x = whatever variable u wanna use Asset = Documents\{0}_Result str_FinalResult = String.Format(AssetName, x) This would give us at the end that str_FinalResult = Documents\x_Result Also if u want to add more than one you can use more numbers like {1} and just add whatever u want to replace it with after another comma.

I don't know if it's me who missed it, but I lost a lot of time because I did not understand that everytime I want to to launch the ReFramework, if I want to find transactions, I have to relaunch the dispatcher. Otherwise the system says there are no more transaction to be processed because we have used theme to Test with the Write Line to Output. Anyway thanks for the video. But if you can clarify on this it would be helpful.
