I’ve just started using the UiPath ReFramework a few days ago to develop automations, and I feel completely lost. I’ve read some things from the Academy, but I can’t seem to put the concepts into practice.
I would need your support.
I’ll explain my use-cases in general terms.
Reading fixed variables or assets from the config file. (for example, the name of the Windows Credential to retrieve user and password, the name of the website to open, the hostname of the ODBC to call to reach the MySQL server, etc.)
Executing a query on a MySQL database, for example, ‘select * from dt1’ to retrieve the list to work on.
Opening a browser.
Starting the operative activities on the GUI. >>> + update on the MySQL table.
Ending the activities + email report.
Do you have any ‘demo’ ReFramework Workflows that have these characteristics and that I can read, understand, and adapt to replicate my activities?
Thank you all… please help me because I’m totally lost with the ReFramework
Frankly REFramework is outdated and I’ve never liked it, it’s overkill for most automations. It’s especially going to be difficult for a beginner to understand. I suggest building your automations from scratch as a better path to learning how everything fits together and the different ways you can achieve your desired outcome. There are also many other templates besides REF. You should look at those too, like the transactional process template for example.
Hello @AaronMark , I dont think your use case would benefit from the re-framework. The re-framework is really for transactional type of automations where you need to repeat the same task PER item. If you only need to run your flow once, then I would suggest just starting with a blank flow.
My suggestion would be to build the automation first. Make it stable
Concepts of RE Framework mainly suits for transactional process. Since you are a beginner - I would suggest you to focus more on building stable solutions.
Framework should be the next level
Trying to learn concept for RE might feel overwhelming for beginners. Once you are familiar and confident about the tool and process automation - It would be easy to understand.
It is quite simple process, can be automate by UiPath autopilot (UiPath Gen AI Techniques) in studio web or Studio flow By Prompting. How ever, if you Want use Reframe Work Must remove Get Transaction state.
