Citrix automation Problem

Hi #UipathCommunity i got a UiPath Project which is my first citrix automation.
Task in a Highlevel is,
I need to get into Citrix machine, Go to specific folder in the Citrix machine, in that folder we will have few files with Querys inside them.
We have to copy those queries and Paste them in Query runner in Citrix machine itself and periodically check if the query has completed running or thrown an error. like wise we have to Do for each and every file in the Shared folder.

i have a few questions regarding this Process.

  1. How to check how many files are their in citrix machine shared folder.(as this is citrix automation i am guessing as everything will be an image and it will be hard to check how many files are present in the folder.)

  2. Is it Possible to copy the Data(Query) in the file and Paste it in QueryRunner.

  3. Finally can we do all this Process without installing the RemoteRuntime in the citrix machine? Is it Possible?

This is my first citrix automation, None of my team has done citrix automation ever. So any kind of input you guys gave will be really helpful for me.
Thankyou Guys.

I highly recommend using Computer Vision for this (not the CV Scope, but the Computer Vision selector built into the selectors). It’ll be able to identify the screen elements even without the plugin.

If it’s a sharedrive folder then you can add that folder by mapping that network to your local folder so that u can fetch from there
That’s a better option I would say so that u can get the file easily not just the count
Try whether u can bring this sharedrive folder

Yes, it is possible to copy the data (query) in the file and paste it in QueryRunner using UiPath. You can use the Read Text File activity to read the contents of the file into a string variable. You can then use the Type Into activity to type the contents of the string variable into the QueryRunner.

Yeah it’s doable
Try to use COMPUTER VISION activities here which will be very useful if u want to interact through its front end

Hope this helps

  1. For this generally you can mapp the citrix and local drive which helps in accessing the citrix files as a local folder and can use normal activities like for each file in folder etc…which helps in getting the files directly
  2. You can copy the query by reqding the file as text file and then can use type into or cv type into depending on you using cv activities or computer cision from the normal selectors
  3. Installing remote runtime will help in using normal selectors…if that is not an option for you then you can go without installing also…as mentioned in point 2 use the cv option

Hope this helps
