Microsoft Windows - RPA Artifacts Hosting

The package contains a set of activities that allows to register, interogate and delete tasks from Windows Task Scheduler.

It also simplifies the scheduling of UiPath Robots (including arguments).

There are three types of activities contained by the package:

To register tasks

Task Scheduler Scope- in order to register a task, a Task Scheduler Scope is required. The task will be registered in Windows in the Task Scheduler Local Library under the UiPath folder according to the name defined in Properties tab. The task should be configured by adding at least one action and one trigger activity as described in the below items

Actions Activities - are used to add actions to tasks. There are two actions activities defined

Generic Action - activity to add a generic program/script to the task

UiPath Robot Scheduling - activity that facilitates the scheduling of an UiPath Robot. Robot Arguments parameter should be used to transfer arguments to the scheduled robot.

Triggers Activities - are used to configure different scheduling times for a task

Daily Trigger - Schedule a task to run daily

Logon Trigger - Schedule a task to run at user login

Monthly (Days of Week Trigger) - Schedule a task to run monthly. It offers the possibility to choose the day of the week

Monthly Trigger - Schedule a task to run monthly

On System Start Trigger - Schedule a task to run at machine start

One Time Absolute Trigger - Schedule a task to run exactly once.

One Time Relative Trigger - Schedule a task to run once at a time relative to task registration

Repetitive Trigger - Schedule a task to run periodically.

Weekly Trigger -

To interogate a task:

Get Task - used to get a task from Window Task Scheduler Library (by name). Attention, if one creates a task using current package, the task will reside in the 'UiPath' folder, therefore this aspect should be considered if Get Task activity is used on said task

To delete a task - by name, used to delete a task by name from Window Task Scheduler Library

Scheduling of tasks, scripts and UiPath Robots using Windows Task Scheduler feature.

These custom activities which are not part of UiPath inbuilt activities help workflow developers in the most frequent Windows based operations.

It allows non-programmers to perform these windows actions without invoking code and also saves time for the developers with programming knowledge.

Windows based Activities**:**

1.CopyFolder

2.MoveFolder

3.GetDiskSpace

4.GetInstalledPrograms

5.GetServiceStatus

6.StartService

7.StopService

8.Zip

9.UnZip

WindowsXT package allows the users to easily integrate popular Windows activities

This package contains one activity which will be helpful to kill the process for a particular process. There is an use case where the same process is running in HD Robots environment. If one robot tries to kill a particular process then the existing activity will kill all the running processes with the same name. This activity will take the process name and the user name as a parameter and kills only the process which is associated with the given user.

Kill process activity can close the process for a specific user

Below are the arguments that need to be provided:

1.      **ProcessName** - The name of the process that needs to be checked if its running or not (String)

2.      **IsProcessRunning** \- Returns the status of the process (Boolean).

Eg. If you want to check whether Excel process is running or not then specify **ProcessName** as **excel.** If it is running then it will give the output as **True, else it** will return **false.**

This activity can be used to check whether a process is running or not

The **Windows Service Activities** package contains the activities to control the Windows Service and get the information like status and description related to Windows Services.

1.     **Service Execute** – Using this activity, you can start, stop, pause and continue the Windows Service.

2.     **Service Status** - Using this activity, you can get the status of the Windows Service.

This activity will help the user to restart or shutdown their system without having to use Windows options.

This activity will either restart or shutdown your system

The Command Line Interpreter activity allows the user to open a connection via SSH protocol to a server and execute shell commands through this connection. Then it will return the output of the command as a string to UiPath workspace, thus allowing the user to interpret/validate the result.

It is particularly useful when we need to interact with Linux servers from UiPath flows, transmitting the commands to Linux server and then returning the output to UiPath workspace to be interpreted.

The output of the command is interpreted using an [expect-like behavior](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expect). Therefore the activity will expect a prompt to be matched after each command, returning the output based on this expected prompt.

**Input:**

*    as string, mandatory
*    as string, mandatory
*    as string, mandatory
*    as integer, mandatory
*    as string, mandatory
*    as string, mandatory

**Output:**

*    as string - command result

**Use case 1:** Interaction of the robot with Linux systems, via SSH connections. Send commands to Linux systems, then wait for the prompt and inspect the command output.

This will cover the scope for automation under Linux OS systems.

**Use case 2:** Interaction of the robot with telco equipments (i.e switches, routers) via Command Line Interface if SSH protocol is supported.

This activity allows shell command execution and result retrieving, using SSH

**What**

Sometimes you might need to run specific actions in a workflow depending on the current OS's details. For example you might want to run a workflow that handles new machines coming online in a heterogeneous network by ensuring that they have some piece of software installed on them, and this specific software has variants for Windows, 7, 8 & 10, with their respective bitness of 32 or 64.

  

**Who**

RPA developers, although QAs can also use it to run specific platform scenarios.

**How**

  

Drag and drop the **Get Windows Information** activity from under the _**UiPathTeam &gt; OS**_ node. It returns an **WindowsInformation** object that you can then alongside decision blocks to split the flow based on the scenario needs.

The **WindowsInformation** object exposes the following read-only properties:

*   ProductName (string)
*   EditionId (string)
*   CompositionEditionId (string)
*   ReleaseId (string)
*   CurrentVersion (string)
*   MajorVersion (int)
*   MinorVersion (int)
*   BuildNumber (string)
*   BuildLabEx (string)
*   ServicePack (string)
*   Is64Bit (bool)
*   IsServer (bool)
