The recommended way to setup Orchestrator is to have one Orchestrator instance for Dev/Test environments and another Orchestrator instance for (UAT)/Production
So how do we upload/deploy a package to UAT/Prod Orchestrator instance from the Dev/Test Orchestrator instance, do we need to manually do it?
What is the recommended way for deploying a package from the Dev Env to Prod Environment when we use 2 orchestrator instance as recommended. I am using 18.2 version
Please someone help me to understand this : @ovi, @badita, @andrzej.kniola @Gabriel_Tatu @balupad14 @Rammohan91 @vvaidya @Lucas.Pimenta @ClaytonM @arivu96
Hi @BejoyEdison,
You need to have a package version of your process.
If you have a UiPath Studio that you develop the process on the Machine where Dev/Test Orchestrator is installed, there are two ways to published you process.
-if the Uipath Robot connected with your Dev/Test Orchestrator once you publish a process from Uipath Studio, the package will be automatically visible/available on your Dev/Test Orchestrator
-if you the UiPath Robot is not connected with your Dev/Test Orchestrator once you publish a process from UiPath studio, the package will be stored on %ProgramData%\UiPath\Packages.
Using second option you can upload manual the same package version of the process to both Dev Orchestrator and Prod/Orchestrator
So the bottom line is we need to manually deploy the package from Dev/QA Orchestrator to Prod Orchestrator system , and there is no way to link QA orchestrator and Prod Orchestartor to sync the package to Prod , very nice. Thanks.
Is there no solution to link orchestrators?
@Stephu - I don’t have much experience on UiPath but this is what I can think of-
Another orchestrator (prod/UAT) is like another tenant . Just disconnect your orchestrator of QA from robot and connect it with prod/ UAT orchestrator ,after that publish it in your device machine . This will create package in your prod/UAT orchestrator. After then revert the robot as it was before. This will help you avoid manual movement of package.
Hope that helps.

Thanks for the answer but I this is not what I expect for a good integrated workflow.
Hi @Stephu
Please also check this thread out:
It contains a good discussion.
The feature is on our radar for quite some time already. I’m sure managing your processes will be streamlined at one point
