I have created a Custom connector with integration service but having some issues find the activity after it is published. I’m in the correct folder and the connection itself has been made aswell. The Send Request does work bus shows me the following undefined: There is no trace available for the connection message:
Under the curated activity it also shows me a error with which I can do absolutely nothing at the moment Fatal exception has occured. Object Validate VAT Number does not contain a curated Get method. Error code: DAP-DT-2201. :
The connection as I said has been succesfully published but now wont show up in my studio can someone tell me what is going on here? I also asked UiPath Support and will update this post if they have been able to answer my question.
There is a gross bug in Studio when it comes to alot of the Integration Service activities.
They simply dont appear in the activities pane… whats worse is how inconsistent it is if they appear or not.
Apparently you can get them to appear consistently by using the little plus button in a workflow to ‘add an activity’ which then brings down that dropdown at the top (really not my preferred method to add things) and then missing activities should appear there.
Its pretty bad this bug has been open this long and that its not documented anywhere in the Integration Service documentation, however thats part of a bigger issue, I’ve been chasing them to correct incorrect documentation and add missing documentation for nearly a year now but they apparently don’t have the capacity
Let me know if finding it via the other menu works Kevin?
I kind of fixed the issue that I had with the Fatal exception has occured message, it had to do with the request being a Get and not a List type of request… and in the API part it was a Getbyid and should have been a Get request.
I’m skeptical you will get very far with the support people,
Just to make sure I am clear, this is what I mean.
As you can see there is not a ‘Petstore’ section in the activities pane.
In this instance it does appear if I search for Petstore, but that part is bugged according to the Integration Service Product team (they haven’t documented this anywhere though, you just have to know), apparently the plus button I show should always show all activities though, have you tried both? Can you share a screenshot like this?
There is a gross hack to work around this, if you create a basic workflow in Studio Web that has the relevant activities you want, since they appear to be working in Studio Web, you can then download that project and open it in Studio Desktop, you can then use that as a reference and copy and paste stuff etc, should also make sure the relevant dependencies are there.
The custom connector builder is currently missing a key feature to make it enterprise stable, I’m actually pretty shocked and disappointed by the product team that they didnt already fix this.
When you make a custom connector, if you publish it anyone in the tenant can use it, but, only you can view and edit the actual connector, so if you need to add a feature, or update it, and the user that made the connector left, tough, that connector is orphaned. This is wild to me, but apparently how they designed it.
Yeah the product currently is just not mature, I explained my issue as well as I could to customer support but they just don’t get the issues that I have with the product. I completely scrapped using it for now since well it’s just not mature. With how bad the state of the tool is currently it doesn’t shock me at all that you as the owner are the only one who can view and edit it tbh…
