UiPath is a leading Robotic Process Automation (RPA) tool that automates repetitive tasks by mimicking human actions on a computer.
The key components of UiPath are UiPath Studio (used to design automation workflows), UiPath Robot (executes the workflows), and UiPath Orchestrator (manages and monitors the automation processes).
Attended automation requires human intervention, whereas unattended automation runs without human interaction.
Exceptions can be handled in UiPath using the Try Catch activity. It allows you to catch specific exceptions and define actions to be taken when they occur.
Data from a web page can be extracted using the Data Scraping wizard, which allows you to select and extract structured data from tables or lists.
Queues in UiPath are used to manage transactional data. They ensure the order and integrity of processing and provide better control and tracking of items in a process.
UiPath provides the Citrix Recording feature, which uses image and text recognition techniques to automate tasks within virtual environments.
Dynamic selectors can be handled in UiPath by using wildcards (*) or by using variables to dynamically change selector attributes at runtime.
Email interactions can be automated in UiPath using the Email activities from the UiPath. Mail package. These activities allow you to read, send, and process emails.
Excel files can be handled in UiPath using activities from the Excel package. Activities such as Read Range and Write Range are used to perform various operations on Excel data.
UiPath Orchestrator is a web-based application that allows you to deploy, schedule, monitor, and manage robots and automation processes centrally. Its key features include process monitoring, scheduling, asset management, and user management.
Arguments can be passed to a workflow in UiPath by defining input and output arguments in the workflow properties and using them when invoking the workflow.
Databases can be interacted with in UiPath using activities from the Database package. These activities enable you to connect, query, and perform operations on databases.
A variable is used to store data within a specific workflow, while an argument is used to pass data between workflows or activities.
Delays can be introduced in UiPath using the Delay activity, where you can specify a fixed or dynamic time span to wait before proceeding with the next activity.
Exceptions can be handled in UiPath using the Try Catch activity. It allows you to catch specific exceptions and define actions to be taken when they occur.
Attended automation requires human intervention, whereas unattended automation runs without human interaction.
Dynamic selectors can be handled in UiPath using wildcards (*) or by using variables to dynamically change selector attributes at runtime.
To publish and deploy a UiPath automation project, you can use the Publish option in UiPath Studio. This creates a package that can be uploaded and executed in UiPath Orchestrator.
UiPath provides a debugging feature in UiPath Studio. You can place breakpoints, step through activities, and inspect variable values to identify and resolve issues in the workflow.
The Retry Scope activity allows you to retry a sequence of activities a specified number of times in case of expected failures. It helps in handling intermittent errors.
UiPath provides activities from the UiPath.PDF package to automate PDF operations. These activities allow you to extract data, merge or split PDFs, and perform other PDF-related tasks.
UiPath provides browser-specific activities that enable interaction with web browsers. These activities allow you to open web pages, fill forms, click buttons, and extract data from web elements.
The UiPath Assistant is a desktop application that allows users to manage and execute UiPath automation processes on their local machines. It provides a user-friendly interface for running attended automation.
Exceptions can be handled in UiPath using the Try Catch activity. It allows you to catch specific exceptions and define actions to be taken when they occur.
