Hi team,

Recently we have upgraded our orchestrator from 2018 to 2022.10.6 version and now we have to upgrade our client components(Studio,Robot,Assisstant).

Which version of studio and robot that we need to upgrade that can able to connect with Orchestrator and how can we do that?

Thanks,
Sai

Hi

I would recommend to aim using a version that is either the same as or compatible with your Orchestrator version.

Check this compatibility matrix for more ideas

Thank you @Palaniyappan

This document helped me a lot.

Will you help me how to upgrade those robots and studio?
And if possible will you elaborate what are these 3 points -

  1. Robots 2018.4.4+ and 2020.4- connect to Orchestrator via Long Polling only.
  2. TLS 1.1 / TLS 1.2 must be enabled.
  3. Robots 2019.10 and older cannot execute unattended processes in modern folders.

Thanks,
Sai

Fine let’s go one by one

For studio / Robots, you need to ensure that you are using a version compatible with Orchestrator 2022.10.6 or slightly ahead of your Orchestrator version is fine as well

Robot versions from 2018.4.4 onwards and versions up to 2020.4 can communicate with Orchestrator using the Long Polling communication method. Long Polling is a communication technique where the Robot makes periodic requests to Orchestrator to check for updates.

Refer this doc for more details

For this

TLS 1.1 / TLS 1.2 must be enabled

For compatibility and security reasons, you must ensure that TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 are enabled on your servers and network infrastructure to allow secure communication between Robots and Orchestrator. Older and less secure protocols like TLS 1.0 may need to be disabled.

Finally on this

these Robots are not capable of executing unattended automation processes in modern folders within Orchestrator.

you need to have Robot versions that support this feature, typically versions released after 2019.10.

Hope this clarifies

Cheers @KishoreC

How can I download the studio upgrade tool ?- UiPathStudio.msi
Or should I need to raise a request with UiPath support team for the tool? If so do I have to pay for the tool even thought I am using enterprise on-prem orchestrator?

From the documents it is not mentioned any where.

Hello @KishoreC

  1. Upgrade “UiPath Studio” to the version compatible with Orchestrator 2022.10.6.
  2. Studio upgrade will also update “UiPath Robot” and “Assistant” on your development machine.
  3. Update any custom workflows or dependencies.
  4. Configure Studio and Robot to connect to your Orchestrator by providing Orchestrator credentials and URL.
  5. Test the connection by creating and running a simple process from Studio to Orchestrator.

Thanks & Cheers!!!

I would recommend to go with UiPath’s support being enterprise
So that your other queries will get addressed as well
