UiPath ReFramework Tutorial – A Comprehensive Guide on the Robotic Enterprise Framework

15 / 15 Blog from UiPath

UiPath is one of the key leaders in the RPA market and uses its Robotic Enterprise Framework or UiPath ReFramework to automate complex business processes. In this tutorial on UiPath ReFramework, I will discuss the functionalities and stages of the ReFramework.

The following topics will be discussed in this article:

      1. Init State
      2. Get Transaction Data State
      3. Process Transaction State
      4. End State

Let us get started!

 

Why use ReFramework?

Robotic Process Automation is a process where the manual tasks get automated using the top RPA tools, But, any task which is getting automated is somewhere or other dependent on the human employees. So, to avoid the dependency on human employees, we have to define the robots in such a way that they can execute or perform tasks.

Why use ReFramework - UiPath ReFramework Tutorial - Edureka

Talking about robots, all the robots deployed in production must be able to execute multiple transactions and also simultaneously re-execute a transaction, if it has failed.  Robots must also maintain workflow consistency, to manage various parameters required for processing, log formats, outputs, etc. In addition to this, all the robots must have proper logging and analysis systems to provide a proper health report to the user.  Well, this is where the ReFramework plays a crucial role in today’s industries.

So, now that you know why you should use ReFramework, let me tell you what exactly is ReFramework.

For details, You can even check RPA earning the key concepts to design RPA solutions using UiPath Community Edition with the RPA developer foundation.

What is ReFramework?

Robotic Enterprise Framework or Re-Framework is a template that is used to create automation workflows in a modular approach for large scale deployments. Now, I’m pretty sure you might not have got an idea about how it can be used in real -life. So, to explain to you the same, let me consider an example.

Consider a business process, which has three components.

  • Let the first component consist of the process which needs to be executed daily to read the prices of the courses offered by competitors companies and update them in a database.
  • The second component is used to compare the prices of courses offered by the company to that of the competitors’ company.
  • Similarly, the third component updates the prices in the database and notify the respective team about the updated prices.

Now, all these components can be further divided into small business transactions, and then you can design the automation for each and every transaction.

The components discussed above can be divided into business transactions in the following manner:

Now, these transactions can be segregated as different tasks and can be automated one after the other. Well, this is where you can use the Robotic Enterprise Framework or ReFramework since it provides various states to design the automation for various transactions. With the help of ReFramework, you can set up a set of configurations, for each and every loop and perform a set of actions.

So, now that you know what is UiPath ReFramework, let me take you through the architecture of the ReFramework.

 

UiPath ReFramework Architecture

The ReFramework uses the state machine diagram and has the following 4 states:

  1. ReFramework Architecture - UiPath ReFramework Tutorial - Edureka-min-minInit State
  2. Get Transaction Data State
  3. Process Transaction State
  4. End Process State

All these states collaborate with each other to process the business transaction in the following manner:

Init State

  • Any RPA project you start in the ReFramework starts in the Init state. This is the state, where the robot reads the initial project configuration and initializes the application.
  • Once all the configuration is read and the application is initialized and is successful, the transaction goes to the next state i.e. the Get Transaction Data state, else it ends the process by displaying a System Error.

Get Transaction Data State

The Get Transaction Data state is the next state after the Init state. In this state, you have two possibilities. If a new process is retrieved then it goes to the next state i.e. the Process Transaction state, else if all the transactions are processed then it goes to the End Process state.

Process Transaction

  • In the process transaction state, there are three outcomes that can come, i.e either the Success state, Business Transactions and the System Error state. The success state is where the loop is performed and the next transaction data is taken into account.
  • The Business Rule Exception occurs, when a specific action is performed after which the execution state goes back to the Get Transaction Data state. The System Error transaction is used to take all the necessary steps through an error. So in this transaction, all the applications are closed, and the execution loops back to the Init state.

End Process state

This is the final state in which the transactions enter, after all of them are executed. So, in simple words, it is used to end the process.

I hope I have given you a basic idea about the UiPath ReFramework. If you want to get a detailed understanding of this framework, you can refer to the following tutorial on UiPath ReFramework.

With that, we come to an end to this article on UiPath ReFranework tutorial. I hope you found it informative. You can also check out the RPA online training by Edureka, a trusted online learning company with a network of more than 250,000 satisfied learners spread across the globe. Both, these certifications will help you get in-depth knowledge in UiPath and Automation Anywhere respectively.
