Recovering an old file

Hey,
I have lost one of robot which I automated, The reason of the loss is that we were asked to renew the license and on updating the software I lost one of my work.

@rahim.ali,

It’s difficult to recover if you haven’t took backup. From where you lost it by the way?

Thanks,

Was it published? You can download the package from Orchestrator (Tenant → Packages), rename the .nupkg file to .zip and then open it. The XAML files and project.json will be in there. If they aren’t and you only see a .dll then you can use DotPeek (from JetBrains) to open the DLL and extract the files.

As I understand it, a gap in the tenant licencing wont cause your packages to be deleted so quickly. How long was your licence expired for before renewal?

It wont fix things now, but this is also a reason to consider starting to use Source Control to future proof yourself.

Local File: You can check that in the local system, where all files are published you get the row files.

=> %ProgramData%\UiPath\Packages

Orchestrator: if it was published to Orchestrator then you can get this files.

I had no backup, lost my robot directly from the software.

Thankyou! Let me try this.
