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 and set up the account.
2. Creating the account: For unattended automations, we recommend creating a robot account, which is a service-type identity that does not require an email address. However, if the job must run under a particular user's identity (for permissions or audit purposes), you can opt for creating a user account instead.
3. Assign roles to the account.
4. Add the account to folders which contain the jobs it needs to run.

5. Create a machine template.

   Note: While you could opt to create a single standard machine, for this example we are creating a machine template instead. Machine templates make it easier to deploy several machines by defining the configuration once and then using a single set of client credentials to allow multiple robots to connect to Orchestrator.
6. In Orchestrator, go to Tenant > Folders.
7. Select the target folder from the list, and then select the Machines tab.
8. In the top right, click Manage Machines in Folder.
9. On the Manage Machines in Folder page, click the Add machine in the top right and select Machine template.
10. Configure the machine template and assign one unattended runtime only. For detailed instructions, see Adding a machine template.
11. Copy the machine key for later use.

From Studio

From the UiPath Assistant

1. Open UiPath Assistant
2. On the Preferences menu, select Preferences. The Preferences window is displayed.
3. Navigate to Orchestrator Settings.
4. In the Orchestrator URL field, enter Orchestrator’s web address.

   Note: When setting up the machine using the Enterprise Installer (.MSI), you can sign out of the machine as the Robot is able to create its own Windows Session using the credentials provided in Step 3.
