For Each Error: Wait for Document Validation Action and Resume

[Abi_RPA (Abi)]

I am having issues in using “Wait for Document Validation Action and Resume” with a for loop.

Is there a way to iterate a folder with multiple files without running into this issue? Please see attached image.

Thank you!

@Abi_RPA - You can simulate a loop with the REFramework (https://docs.uipath.com/studio/standalone/2023.4/user-guide/robotic-enterprise-framework) that uses State Machine activities (https://docs.uipath.com/studio/standalone/2023.4/user-guide/state-machines).

Use the modified REFramework in such a way that it does not use Queues but rather Tabular data: ReFramework for Tabular Data - RPA Component | UiPath Marketplace | Overview

I would use the For Each File in Folder in the Initialization State and collect the file paths and store them in an Excel file:

And then proceed as normal in the Get Transaction State, getting the filenames row after row.

And then proces the file in the Process Transaction State where I would make a separate Sequence to be invoked:

Let me know if you have questions on this.

Hi @Abi_RPA

Instead of using for each file in folder activity store the files in a List Variable. Iterate this List Variable by using for each activity.

FilesList = Directory.Getfiles(“Folder path”)
Which stores the list of files in a specific folder.

Then iterate the FileList Variable by using for each activity.
Inside for each activity try the wait for document validation action and resume activity.

Hope it helps!!

@Abi_RPA

A normal for each will do the job for you…for each activity will support wait activity

So use directory.getfiles("C:\UIPath\Invoices") in assign activity and store the value to array of string type variable

And then use that variable in for loop activity

I changed it as you said, but still issue exists. Please check attached image.

@Abi_RPA

Please use it inside a parallel for each and the issue should be sorted

Or you can implement a loop using workflows and you would not get an error

basically in flow descision you can check int_counter<filelist.Count…so that the loop continues till all the files are complete

Hope this helps

cheers

Thanks Anil_G. Parallel for each worked!

Thanks everyone for the support
