UiPath Orchestrator Flashcards

What is the 'Personal Workspace' in UiPath Orchestrator?

Answer: A private folder automatically provisioned for each user to test and develop automations

Personal Workspaces give each Orchestrator user their own isolated folder for attended automation and personal process management.

How does UiPath Orchestrator handle 'long-running transactions' that exceed a robot's session time?

Answer: It pauses the job and resumes it on the next available robot using persistence

Long-running workflows with persistence enabled can be suspended and resumed across different robot sessions using Orchestrator's persistence service.

Which UiPath Orchestrator feature lets you store encrypted username/password pairs for robot use?

Answer: Credential Assets

Credential Assets store username and password pairs encrypted in Orchestrator and are retrieved securely by robots at runtime using Get Credential.

What is an 'Environment' in older UiPath Orchestrator versions (pre-modern folders)?

Answer: A grouping of robots that could be assigned processes for job execution

In the classic folder model, Environments grouped robots together so a process could be deployed and run across all robots in that group.

What does the 'Heartbeat' mechanism in UiPath Robot to Orchestrator communication indicate?

Answer: The robot is alive and connected to Orchestrator

Robots send periodic heartbeat signals to Orchestrator to indicate they are online and available, allowing Orchestrator to detect disconnected machines.

Which Orchestrator API authentication method is recommended for server-to-server integrations?

Answer: OAuth 2.0 with external application credentials

Orchestrator recommends OAuth 2.0 with client credentials (external application registration) for secure server-to-server API access.
