Does uipath.config get re-checked each time robot runs?

Are the UiPath.config file settings checked every time a bot is triggered from within Orchestrator? Or are the settings included only when the package is first created?

I have disabled http connections via the config to try and eliminate the slow start of a process (~2-3 mins from trigger to start of execution) that is caused by a slow deployment of the package to the machine, however it does not appear to have had any impact, hence this question.

As an additional query, the line I have added to the config is:

Will this disable Http and https connections?

Thank you for your help with this.

Hi!

Which file do you mean?

The Robot - UiPath.Settings file?
Robot - UiPath.Settings File Description

The Orchestrator - UiPath.Orchestrator.dll.config
Orchestrator - UiPath.Orchestrator.dll.config

Or the REFramework config file?

Where did you disable http connections?

Hi Sven,

Thanks for replying. As stated the file is UiPath.config file which is contained in the following path for our install. C:\Program Files\UiPath\Studio\UiPath.config

It was advised that the http parameter be disabled given the issue we were experiencing. However the change was made after the package was approved for release by our change board and it has not been redeployed since the config was updated. Was hoping to get confirmation through this forum on how / when that file is used hence this topic.

Thank you.

Hi!

Ok, I might be wrong, but I think that file only affects how UiPath Studio is behaving and not how the robots behave when triggered from the Orchestrator.

Which parameter did you change?

ah I did write above but must have been removed for not being quoted correctly…

< packageSettings>
< add key=“disableSecureXaml” value=“false” />
< add key=“skipHttpConfigurationSources” value=“true” />
< /packageSettings>

For some reason cant get it to show correctly without the space after initial < but that is the block it is in.

Thanks!

Have you restarted the service or the VM after the config was changed?

Yes, sadly no difference with that.

While I really appreciate your help :+1:, I feel this is off topic slightly. Really looking for someone with knowledge of if the package incorporates the settings from the config file or not. The topic that suggested changing the setting didn’t mention having to republish, it is a very dated thread hence asking this here.
