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 files

The Info dialog box displays:

• The URL of the NuGet location where the project was published;
• The name under which the package was published to Orchestrator, in the Packages page;
• The version number under which the package was published to Orchestrator.

When publishing a project, the entire project folder is archived into a .nupkg file, which is uploaded to Orchestrator. Upon doing this, a version is generated for the project, with the format M.m.bbbb.rrrrr, where:

• M is the major version.
• m is the minor version.
• bbbb is the build version.
• rrrrr is the revision version.
