Having zero IT development background, Im starting to explore/study UIPATH/robotics process. For your kind reading:
Background of the current process:
- .txt files from our server are being transferred to a certain folder from our common drive.
- frequency of transfer is at every 15 minutes - that starts from 830am until 545pm
- By using our processing system, we manually use the upload button and refer to the folder and select/upload the most recent file to interface its contents to our processing system.
- So every 15 minutes, we do it manually and select manually the most recent file transferred by the server
- Process description for appreaciation:
Sample 1: by 830am folder has “group1.txt” - we will select group1.txt to be uploaded
Sample 2: by 845am folder has “group1.txt” and “group2.txt” - we will now select group2.txt to be uploaded…so on until 545pm.
I have tried the “Monitor Event and File change trigger” function but sill have missing links within the process to fully automate the uploading:
Q- How deploy the my workflow that it will automatically determine which is the most recent file and/or amongst the files transferred/saved in the folder, the workflow will select the newest file for uploading to our internal system?
For any clarifications, please do not hesitate.
Thank you very much for your prompt guidance and assistance to finish my project.
