I am working with UiPath IXP Document Data Extraction and using the Wait for Validation Task and Resume activity to retrieve data from Action Center. However, this activity is suspending my workflow. Even if I submit the Action Center task before this activity executes, the workflow still goes into a suspended state.
I want to use this in an ‘unattended automation scenario’, but the workflow suspension is not acceptable because the robot should not pause until the user completes the Action Center task.
Thats what the Wait For Validation Task and Resume activity is intended to do. Wait, suspend and then resume.
It is a strange requirement to want to keep the robot running to wait because if it takes 8 hours for a human to respond and validate the document your robot won’t be able to do anything else but wait for 8 hours, but if you really insist, try adding the activity in a No Persist scope, that stops processes from suspending so might work to keep it alive and keep checking for task completion.
I want to ensure that the workflow does not pause at any stage. Could you please guide me on how to retrieve data from Action Center without causing the workflow to suspend?
I am currently using the Extract Document Data activity for data extraction and the Create Validation Task activity to generate a task in Action Center. After the task is submitted in Action Center, I use Get Task Data to verify whether the task is completed. Once it’s completed, I try to use Wait for Validation Task and Resume to retrieve the submitted data—but this activity still suspends the workflow.
