Hey,
You can use ‘reference’ in the ‘add queue item’ activity and in the queue settings mark unique reference as true.

Ach. When you do this and reference number will be exists in the queue you will get an exception. So please remember handle this activity for example using ‘try catch’.

Hi @PRABHJOT_SINGH

Welcome back to UiPath Forum,

Please look at this.

You can use Unique reference option for this to avoid duplicating the same queue item

Unique reference should be some unique identifier.

Example:

PolicyNumber, ClaimNumber etc.

Thank you

The reference number should be unique value like: ‘order number’, ‘guid’ etc.
To set ‘unique reference’ in Orchestrator you have to create new queue. If I remember correctly you can’t add this properties when editing.

Thanks @Jobin_Joy . Its Like a Unique Key!! Right. Is there any way to edit Unique Reference from No to Yes in existing Queue or i need to create new Queue. Because System does not let me allow to change this.

As I mentioned before, you cannot add the same ‘unique reference’ twice.
You have to handle this, for example by adding ‘try catch’.

If you want add item(s) which are not added before means, simply set the unique reference error exception as nothing instead of throwing errorthat so the BOT will add the missed items to the queue.
Basically, error will be there but you are not taking any action since it is excepted one in your case.

Thank you.
