Invoke Power Shell
Workflow Activities
Last updated Oct 31, 2024
Invoke Power Shell
UiPath.Core.Activities.InvokePowerShell
The Invoke Power Shell activity executes a PowerShell command or script with specified input parameters.
Note: Antivirus policies that
restrict PowerShell access may prevent the use of PowerShell-related activities. For
example, you cannot use Invoke Workflow File and Invoke Power Shell when rule
ID 6151 is enabled in McAfee Endpoint Security.
- Command Text - The PowerShell command to be executed. This value can be the name of a cmdlet or the text of a PowerShell Script.
Common
- ContinueOnError - Specifies if the
automation should continue even when the activity throws an error. This field only
supports Boolean values (True, False). The default value is False. As a result, if the
field is blank and an error is thrown, the execution of the project stops. If the value is
set to True, the execution of the project continues regardless of any error.
Note: If this activity is included in Try Catch and the value of the ContinueOnError property is True, no error is caught when the project is executed.
- DisplayName - The display name of the activity.
Input
- Parameters - A dictionary of
PowerShell command parameters. A specific command (cmdlet) or script can be used.
- Specific command: When you invoke a
specific command, the name of the parameter should match the name of the command’s
parameter.
For example, if you use
Get-Command -Module CimCmdlets
as an input, the input value must beGet-Command
and the parameter should be namedModule
with the value set to"CimCmdlets"
. - Script: At the start of the script
you need to specify the type of the parameter. Optionally, you can also make a
parameter mandatory to enforce a script to always be called with the parameter set by
the caller.
For example, the following script takes two parameters, one of type string, and another of type int:
Param( [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)] [string]$Name, [int]$Age )
Param( [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)] [string]$Name, [int]$Age )These parameters can then be referenced in the script by adding$
in front of the parameter name.
- Specific command: When you invoke a
specific command, the name of the parameter should match the name of the command’s
parameter.
- Input: - A collection of PSObjects
that are passed to the writer of the pipeline used to execute the command. Can be the
output of another InvokePowerShell activity. You can reference piped input in a script by
using
$input
.Note: This variable is created implicitly by PowerShell. Defining variables or parameters namedinput
may generate errors or may result in conflicts. It is recommended for the terminput
to be reserved for piping.
Misc
- Execution mode - Select a version
of PowerShell in which to execute the command or script provided. This is only available
for Windows projects, Windows-Legacy projects target Windows PowerShell 5.1 (32-bit)
version.
The following options are available:
- PowerShell 7.2 (64-bit) - Uses
PowerShell Core shell based on
.NET6
. In this version, PowerShell is hosted within the .NET 6 runtime. Any data used is directly accessible by the activity, and can be imported in the workflow. - PowerShell 5.1 (64-bit) - Uses
the 64-bit Windows PowerShell executable. In this version, PowerShell is bundled with
Windows, and is located by default in
C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\
. In this execution mode, PowerShell is remoted locally on the machine using the preinstalled shell. Remoting introduces the need to serialize and deserialize information between different .NET runtimes, and as such objects which can not be reconstructed are wrapped within aPSObject
orPSCustomObject
. - PowerShell 5.1 (32-bit) - Uses
the 32-bit Windows PowerShell executable. In this version, PowerShell is bundled with
Windows, and is located by default in
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\
). In this execution mode, PowerShell is remoted locally on the machine using the preinstalled shell. Remoting introduces the need to serialize and deserialize information between different .NET runtimes, as such objects which can not be reconstructed are wrapped within aPSObject
orPSCustomObject
.PSObject
andPSCustomObjects
hold information about the overall structure of the original object and can be used to reconstruct the objects manually.
- PowerShell 7.2 (64-bit) - Uses
PowerShell Core shell based on
- IsScript - Specifies if the command text is a script or a direct command. Piping, Variables, and Parameters can be used with a single command or script.
- PowerShellVariables - A dictionary
of named objects that represent variables used within the current session of the
InvokePowerShell activity. A PowerShell command or script can retrieve information from
In
andIn/Out
variables and can setOut
variables. To reference variables in your script, use the variable identifier character$
to denote that the text after is a variable name. Example:$firstVariable
.Note: Variable names are not case sensitive. - Private - If selected, the values of variables and arguments are no longer logged at Verbose level.
- TypeArgument - Sets the type of the output variable.
Output
- Output - A collection of TypeArgument objects returned by the execution of the command. Can be used to pipe several InvokePowerShell activities.
