Arguments


Arguments:
Ø  Simply we can call it as Parameter/data/value
Ø  Used to pass data from Project to Project, Function to Function
Ø  Dynamically pass/store the data
Ø  Re-usability more, Time is less
Ø  Having specific directions (In, Out, In/Out, Property)


           Creating Arguments
                1.       In the Designer panel, click Arguments. The Arguments panel is displayed

                 


                2.     Click the Create Argument line. A new argument with the default values is displayed.


          Note: By default, all arguments are of String type and have an In direction.


          Removing Arguments
  • In the Arguments panel, select an argument and press Delete.
  • In the Arguments panel, right-click an argument and select the Delete option



 Example for Arguments:
  1. Create a new sequence.
  1. In the Arguments panel, create an argument, StoreValue.
  1. From the Direction list, select Out, and do not change the Argument Type from String.
  1. Add an Assign activity to the Designer panel.
  1. In the Properties panel, in the To field, add the StoreValue argument.
  1. In the Value field, type a string, such as "How does one use an argument?".
    The first project should look like in the screenshot below.
       
  1. Create a new sequence.
  1. Create a string variable, strFinalValue.
  1. Add an Invoke Workflow File activity to the Designer panel.
  1. On the activity, click the Browse (…) button and browse for the previously created sequence.
  1. Click Import Arguments. The Invoked Workflow’s Arguments window is displayed. Note that the argument of the first sequence is displayed here.
  1. In the Value field, add the strFinalValue variable and click Ok. The argument is imported and the value from it is going to be stored in the current project through the strFinalValue variable.
  1. Add a Message Box activity under the Invoke Workflow File.
  2. In the Properties panel, in the Text field, type strFinalValue + " This is how", for example 

The second automation should look like in the screenshot below.



Press F5 in the second sequence. The automation is executed correctly and the message box displays the desired text

Variables, Data Types and Math Operations

  In order to do anything interesting in a program, we must have the ability to store and manipulate values. What allows us to do that are what we call variables. Now a variable, simply put, is just named data storage. Now Java is a strongly ‑ typed language. Now what that means is that when we declare a variable like, in this case, we have a variable named data Value, we have to specify the type of that variable, in this case, it's what we call an int, something that can store integers. So, what that means is that the data Value variable can only store things that are compatible with the type int. As we go through the course, we'll talk about this idea of one type being compatible with another. Now when we declare a variable, we can, of course, then assign a value to it, so our variable data Value now holds the value 100. Now when we use variables, we can do it the way we've done here where we declare it, then assign it, or as a matter of convenience, we can declare them a...

Publish a Project

Publish a Project: Publishing means packaging/archiving the project. Why to Publish : Robot can execute only Packages, doesn’t run projects directly. So we need to archive all project files to a Single Package file. There are 2 Process are available 1.        If Orchestrator is connected through Robot, automatically Project archive file displayed in Packages folder. From here, we can distribute this to some other Robots 2.        If there is no connection between Orchestrator and Robot, we need place Project archive file in Packages folder manually How to Publish: 1.        Open UI Studio, Create New Project 2.        In the Setup ribbon tab, click Publish . If the project is published successfully, the Info dialog box is displayed and the project is copied to the NuGet location set in the NuGetServerUrl parameter, in the UiPath.settings...

AGILE Methodology

Agile:      Ø   Agile is nothing but a Multi Iterative Cycle      Ø   It breaks the entire project into Small pieces and then do implementation iteration by iteration      Ø   At the end of every Iteration, customer uses application and gives feedback      Ø   At the end of ALL Iterations, customer will get the application as desired Various versions of Agile: Scrum:                     In Scrum, each iteration is called ‘Sprint’. So, at the end of Sprint, Customer interacts with application and provides feedback (Unlike Waterfall) 3 Roles:   Ø   Product Owner   Ø   Scrum Master       Ø    Team
