1. What is Orchestrator?

It is the managing body with whole control to the System. One Admin can manage everything through Orchestrator. Also we can add roles to control and monitor the system. In UiPath, generally orchestrator handles the Robots, Environment, Processes, Schedules, Assets and Queues.

UiPath Orchestrator is a User Interaction web page that need to be hosted in a webserver(IIS). One should have access to the tenants, then login and manage all the setup. UiPath Admin is the highest role can play with all over setup.

2. What is Tenant in Orchestrator?

Tenant is the classification of hosting environment. Generally its a divided policy and communicated should be void between the tenants.

Each Tenants should have seperate Machines, Environment, Processes, Packages, Schedules, Assets and Queues. Its only way to connect a Machine with one Orchestrator Tenant at a time.

3. What is Jobs in Orchestrator?

Jobs in Orchestrator are runnable items in UiPath. Here you can trigger a new job or can control the job.

Can stop or kill the job. Also can see the logs of job in orchestrator.

4. What is Robots in Orchestrator?

Robots are the Individual machines which are configured and connect with orchestrator. Whenever orchestrator trigger goes to robot it can start the execution.

Also robot setup need credentials of that machines. So robot can login to the machine and run the jobs as per schedule.

5. What is Environment in Orchestrator?

Environment are classification of machine where we can track like higher or lower environment.

So process need to coupled with environment in orchestrator

6. What is Machines in Orchestrator?

Machines are normal device names which we can add through network

7. What is Processes & Packages in Orchestrator?

Processes are the runnable bots which are developed by human.

Here all coupled with a environment.

Package are version management system

8. What is Schedules in Orchestrator?

Schedules are timely trigger plan which need to be created by human.

Normally schedule having the process, machines, time details to trigger automatically by orchestrator

9. What is Assets in Orchestrator ?

Assets are constant value which are dynamically taken from bot.

So it will be useful when we need to change constant values without any code change

10. What is Queues in Orchestrator ?

Queues are items which should flown to jobs in a sequential order.

Main motto of queues to avoid duplicate process when we run from multiple machines

YouTube Video about UiPath Orchestrator:

UiPath : Publish your package from Production Running Machine

UiPath : Publish your package from Production Running Machine Prerequisite : 1. Have to analyse the Machine Schedule first. 2. If you dont know the schedule, Search the Machine name in Jobs. So that you can see Source(i.e., Schedule Name which responsible for the trigger) 3. Then disable that schedule. If more than one machine allocated in the same schedule then remove the particular Machine from the schedule and update. 4. And you have to check whether the machine is already running or not. You can do this in Jobs 5. If the machine already running, do "Stop" 6. Now you are ready for doing changes in production machine itself. Steps to Publish package from Production Machine: 1. Open the machine with the Process ID which ROBOT already configured. 2. Then take the latest package which is published in Orchestrator. 3. If you are unable to find the latest package, then you have to find it via Packages. 4. Check the same version in the Machine folder "C:...
