Creating automation in a Citrix environment is challenging because: Selectors are hard to create for virtual environments. You don’t have direct access to UI elements. You need to interact with the app using only Image Recognition and OCR.
Option C.
Creating automation in a Citrix environment is challenging because you don’t have direct access to UI elements. In a Citrix environment, the applications are running on a remote server, and the user interacts with them through a virtual desktop interface. Tt cannot directly access the UI elements of the remote application as it would in a regular desktop environment. So we need OCR to interact with the applications.
Challenge A can be ommitted by using a plugin, which does give you access to UI objects in Citrix. (Direct file access is still not possible though).
Challenge B is way too subjective. ‘hard to create’ depends on your experience. Using the plugin UiPath still does most of the thinking for you. It might be slightly ‘different’, mut not necessarily more difficult.
Challenge C is the trick-question. You can have access using the plugin, but this would then make it ‘indirect’ access. The virtualise GUI element properties are forwarded through the plugin and presented to your studio.
