I am currently working on an automation where i use the Bulk Add Queue Items activity in UiPath to add a large number of items to an orchestrator queue.
I would like to know
Does the activity fail after a certain time if the queue processing is delayed?
Is it recommended to explicitly set a Timeout value?
Any best practices for handling large queue bulk inserts without running into timeouts or performance issues?
If anyone has experience or has encountered timeouts with this activity, please share your recommendations.
this activity doesn’t fail due to processing delays since it only adds items. It’s good practice to set a TimeoutMS to avoid hanging.
for large inserts, split data into chunks, use retriy , and monitor performance .
If helpful, mark as solution. Happy automation with UiPath
No — the Bulk Add Queue Items activity is only responsible for inserting items into the Orchestrator queue. It does not wait for those items to be processed But yes — it’s recommended to set a TimeoutMS value, especially for large bulk inserts.
You can do instead of sending 10,000 items in one go, break them into smaller batches (e.g., 500–1,000 items). This avoids payload size issues and keeps each request quick for Best Practices.
If datatable holds a large set of data then it might take more than 30 sec to add all queue item in orchestrator, so you can add timeout according to your data set, also dont forget to use commit type .
