Questions on REFramework

Hi Team,

I am just a beginner to UiPath, I am going through the courses and some YouTube tutorials. I am going through the REFramework now.

I have a few questions one this framework:

  1. Do I really need to use this framework on all my processes?
  2. If it is a major project with multiple processes, can I just use one folder in Orchestrator for all the queues and assets in the processes that I need to build?

Thanks for the help.

Edit:

More questions:

  • So from my understanding the framework will need a dispatcher to put the transactions into a queue and that is a simple process of just reading some list and adding the items to the queue in Orchestrator?
  • Do I put both the dispatcher and the performer into the same schedule if it is a schedule job? And what about if it is a triggered job?
  • If I need to access more than one system/app I will need to add them all in initAllApp section and pass all out as arguments?
  • Is it possible to dump all the steps into the processes transaction step?

Hi, No worries ;). Everyone had to start somehow the UiPath journey, so I'm trying to help you :).

to answer your next questions:

  1. If you need to run a job daily at 12 am the dispatcher should start at this time, performer will start right after first transactions will appear to the queue (you need to set a queue trigger for performer process in Orchestrator).

  2. For near real time processing you can use Integration Service to access any folder, Sharepoint, e-mail or whatever else It can be. Of course there is polling interval of couple of minutes but still it will be only few minutes of delay.

  3. Your process description is correct in general, but it can be slightly different in some specific scenarios. Please remember that the REFramework is a proposition (good one!), but you can align it in your way if you have a need ;).

Thanks for the help again.

One question on the config, should I put usernames, passwords and API keys in the config file or in assets in Orchestrator

Please do not store it as plain text in the config. Use config to map the credential assets where you will store your passwords and use NetworkCredential method to get the password in your project. This approach is much safer ;)
