Deploying Unattended Robots - Enterprise License

1. Create a new process, add the Copy File activity, configure the fields/paths to the files, and select the Overwrite option so that the newly copied file can replace the previous file every day.

   
   

   

   
   
2. Publish the process to Orchestrator.
3. Click the Publish button to the right of the Studio ribbon,
4. In the Publish properties tab, enter a name for the package.
5. In the Publish options tab, for the Publish to option, select Orchestrator Tenant Processes Feed, the location where unattended robots can access the automation.

6. Click Publish.

   For more information, see About Publishing Automation Projects in the Studio Guide.

   
   

   

   
   
7. In Orchestrator, create the process that the unattended robot uses for running the automation.
8. Access your Automation Cloud instance at https://cloud.uipath.com, and select your Orchestrator tenant.
9. In Orchestrator, select the Shared Folder > Processes, and then click the Plus button on the right side to open the Add Process page.

10. Select the package and click Create to add the process to the Shared Folder.

    
    

    

    
    
    Note: Keep in mind that you are working with two entities in this process. The first entity is you, the developer who creates and publishes the process. The second one is the Unattended User that runs the automation and the Robot on the Unattended Machine.

1. Create the robot account.

2. Add the robot account to the Shared folder.

   At this point, the robot account exists only as an identity, with no roles or permissions assigned. Therefore, we need to add it to the Shared folder to gain access to processes published there and to give it the Robot role:
3. In Orchestrator, select the Shared folder > Users, and then click the Assign User or Group button on the right side.
4. Search for and select the robot account from the first list, then select the Robot role from the second list, and then click Assign.
5. Create the unattended robot that runs the automations:
6. Go back to the Shared folder and select More actions > Edit.
7. Select Unattended Robot, enable the toggle to Automatically create an unattended robot for this user, fill in the Windows credentials, and click Update.

1. In Orchestrator, select the Shared folder > Machines, and then click the Manage Machine Templates button on the right side.
2. Click the Plus button on the right side to open the Add Machine page.
3. Enter a template name, for example Unattended Machines, assign one unattended runtime, and click Provision.

4. Copy the newly generated machine key for later use.
