Hi @Hazem_Saleh

You can use the Get Transaction Item activity again then you can get the same queue item.

Hope it helps!!

the KYC here has been updated directly to the database where the transaction item in progress, i call it in the flow after always shows null in UiPath,
If i Retry the item i can see it …

Do you update the item via api? If you just need to have the update reflected in code side as well, just assign the updated dictionary also to transactionItem.SpecificContent (in addition to update via api).

Hi @Hazem_Saleh,

Unlike BluePrism, UiPath does not have a feature to update a specific content of a queue item when it is in progress.

I would suggest you vote for this feature here. The feed also discusses this in length.

Update Transaction Item while In Progress

Hi @Balint_Laszlo_Papp, We use the concept you are looking for in our REFramework performer. We achieve this by creating a state machine in the Process.xaml file and have used in production robots with great results. This is possible with “Set Transaction Progress” activity, it will create a new key and value for each item in your queue when the item is processed by the performer. @loginerror - Use case requested here is : If a robot has finished 2 out of 3 steps in the Process but failed at…

Thanks, i think we misunderstood each other this , i updated the item via DB query,
but cant get the updated value during the process, im trying to figure away to refresh it… and get the new values

and if i use get or set transaction progress still my cant get the updated item

i can read from the database but dont want alot of queries! in the process!

Hello @Hazem_Saleh

The Transaction Item information is get when you using Get Transaction Item and the values are stored at run time. If you update the Transaction Item in Orchestrator during progress, the update doesn’t reflecting in a robot that already get the transaction Item.

And you can’t using Get Transaction Item for items that is in state “In Progress”. This activity only get Items in NEW status and automatically change it to “In Progress” state.

May you can use Output property during runtime and update the queue item only at the end using Set Transaction Status and populate the output property
