UiPath Persistence Activities

The Persistence Activities package has been developed as part of the Human In The Loop initiative, offering you several activities that help you manipulate Jobs, Tasks, and Queues in Orchestrator.

Introduction to the Persistence Activities Package

The Persistence Activities package is an integral component of the Human In The Loop initiative, designed to provide a range of activities facilitating the manipulation of Jobs, Tasks, and Queues within Orchestrator. This package seamlessly bridges the gap between robotic automation and human intervention, elevating the capabilities of Robotic Process Automation.

Core Activities in the Persistence Package

The Persistence Activities package contains the following activities:

• Start Job And Get Reference - Invokes a Job in Orchestrator with arguments and fetches the corresponding job object in order to wait for job completion at any time during the execution of the workflow.
• Wait For Job and Resume - Suspends the execution of the current workflow until a specified Job is completed.
• Add Queue Item And Get Reference - Adds an Orchestrator Queue Item with parameters and retrieves the corresponding Queue Item Object in order to wait for transaction completion at any time during the execution of the workflow.
• Wait for Queue Item And Resume - Suspends the execution of the current workflow until a specified transaction reaches a completion state (Successful, Failed, Abandoned, Deleted).
• Create Form Task - Creates a form task in On-Premises Orchestrator and in Action Center, both cloud and on-premises instances.
• Wait for Form Task And Resume - Suspends the execution of the current workflow until a specified Task is completed.
• Resume After Delay - Suspends the execution of the workflow and resumes it at a specified date and time.
• Assign Tasks - Assigns one or more tasks in the current workflow to a user in Orchestrator by using an email address or a username registered in Orchestrator.
• Create External Tasks - Creates a task in Orchestrator with the given data, task title, task priority and task catalog.
• Wait For External Task and Resume - Suspends the execution of the current workflow until a specified Task is completed.
• Complete Task - Completes the specified action without the need for the corresponding human intervention.
• Forward Task - Forwards the specified action to the specified user.
• Get Form Tasks - Helps you query a single action or a set of actions filtered by specific criteria, namely the action's DTO properties.
• Get Task Data - Fetches the current state of the specified action's task data.
• Add Task Comment - Instructs the robot to add a comment on an existing action, indicated by their ID.
• Update Task Labels - Updates the labels for existing actions.

IMPORTANT: Certain new features added to this package version requires Orchestrator v2021.10 or above. Other pre-requisites would be Studio v2023.2 or above and UiPath.FormActivityLibrary 2.0.7 or above. Installing it on versions lower than the recommended ones may create un-expected results during execution.

Versatile Applications of the Persistence Package

The Persistence Activities package offers a broad range of applications across industries like Finance and Accounting, Customer Support, HR, Manufacturing and Supply Chain, Healthcare, and others. It provides businesses with the flexibility to integrate human decision-making seamlessly into automated workflows.
