Hello guys,
I have a process running in server (Attended Process), and for each run i have to login to the server and run it.
So if I run that from the orchestrator does it work or do I need to login to the server and run from the orchestrator
Hey @Gokul_Murali
If you’re using an Attended Process in UiPath, it typically requires human interaction, meaning the process is designed to be executed by a user on their machine.
If you want the process to run without needing to log in, you will need to use a unattended process.
Unattended processes can be triggered and run from the Orchestrator without any manual login.
It is in user machine but in separate server and it is using excel as a source file to run the process.
So what Iam asking is that when the source file is ready without login into the server can i trigger the process manually through orchestrator instead of login into the server and triggering it from the assistant
@Gokul_Murali
You can set up an unattended process to automatically trigger when the source file is available, use e.g. file monitor trigger.
So, if i move the process to unattended and when the source file is ready and saved in the Folder, is it possible to run the process from the orchestrator.
@Gokul_Murali
You can approach this in different ways.
For example, you could place the file in a network location and set up a time-based trigger for the robot to check the location and start working when it finds the file.
Orchestrator doesn’t natively support file triggers, you can schedule the process to run periodically (e.g., every few minutes or hours) to check if the file is present in the folder.
You could also write a script using FileSystemWatcher to start the process, using an API if the file is present in the folder.
Is this way possible,
After making the file ready in the folder, can we manually login to the orchestrator and trigger the process
@Gokul_Murali
Yes, this is also possible. After placing the file in the folder, you can manually log in to the Orchestrator and launch the process when the file is ready.
However, this will require your involvement, and it would probably be better if the process could be triggered automatically.
