Hi , does anyone know how to do a table reference in Queues. The status, date the identity, storage cycle history.
So I want to a Queue to have a folder scan, where it can archive documents that it already worked on
You aren’t giving a clear explanation of what you’re trying to do. You know what has already been worked on in a queue because the Status is no longer “New.” Please give a detailed step by step description of what you are doing, and what your goal is.
My goal is have a queue that has a folder with what was already completed, and not. The Queue being able to do a folder scan.
Queues don’t have folders. Queues store Queue Items, which contain Name/Value pairs. You use Get Transaction to get the next New item, process it, then set it to successful or failed.
You keep saying folder scan, what does that mean? You have to give us detail. Steps. Specifics.
Can the storage bucket in orchestrator scan items already worked on
No. Storage buckets and queues don’t DO anything. They are just containers for information.
What are you putting into the storage bucket and how are you putting them in there?
I plan to have the orchestrator queue read items that are already done. Archive example
Which folder to be searched?
How do you know or decide a completed item?
If queues detect those items what you want to do with them…
If you can explain what you want completely it would be helpful
Cheers
Hi, so the documents are from sharepoint and there be new ones added. To the queue. But Those documents will sometimes be revised again. So I wanted to have afolder where they can be worked on again in the future
So basically whenever a file in a folder is updated or created you want the queue to acan?
If yes …queue cannot do it…you can create a robot using integration services to run and get the new items and add to queue
Cheers
Thank you what are those interrogation services?

What you need to do is create a queue item at the same time you upload a document into the storage bucket. Then your automation will pick up the queue item (Get Transaction), process it (including whatever you need to do with that file) and then mark the queue item complete (success/fail). Then your automation won’t try to reprocess an already completed items.
Queues aren’t for tracking. Queues are for putting items to be processed.

What if you want to reprocess an item it already did
Then you clone or retry the queue item.
Think of queue items as telling the automation what to do. A New status means it needs to be processed. To reprocess an item you recreate the item as New by cloning or retrying it.

It sounds like you should do the free training at academy.uipath.com as it will teach you these things like how to use queues.
