Orchestrator Community Edition Connecting To Robot Issue (Version 20.3.25)

[chaz.jenkins (Chaz)]

Lots of changes made to Community Edition Orchestrator and I wanted to ask about the criteria of running a job from Community Orchestrator. See screenshots:

Cloud Licensing:

Robot is created and connected in Orchestrator:

However, the process does not allow me to select the bot:

For Community, none of the other types show when trying to run a job.

Why isn’t the bot showing up? - Studio bot does not have environment option but some of the other bot types show as unlicensed.

Again, this is all for Community Edition and not Enterprise.

Thank you.

I am new to UIPath using Community Edition. I just tried to set up a trigger. I am having the same problem. I cannot pick a robot.

Attended and Studio type robots cannot be used in a Trigger by Orchestrator. An attended robot cannot only be started locally with the UiPath Assistant.

If you would like to create a trigger in Orchestrator, the Robot must be of the type Unattended / NonProduction.

So is starting a job now used as a Trigger in Orchestrator? And how is the robot vs UiPath Assistant used in Community? I haven’t seen this behavior in Enterprise.

This is a new change since 20.3 in Orchestrator. Community is currently on 20.4.

Studio is installed with Agent Desktop which was renamed to UiPath Assistant.

So just to be clear, Community now requires use of Trigger or UiPath Agent to perform the same function in what used to be running a job in Orchestrator that was executed from bot?

[codemonkee (Tim)]

Trigger is what used to be called a schedule. Since 20.3 you cannot trigger a job for a non-attended robot this includes scheduled triggers and manual jobs.

Robot types Studio and Attended count as Attended robots. If you want to trigger a job from Orchestrator you must provision an Unattended robot which are types Production/Non-production.

Locally on the machine you can use UiPath Assistant to invoke a job under a Attended/Studio Robot.
