FAQ Maestro Orchestrate et ReFramework

Answers to common questions about when to use Maestro Orchestrate versus ReFramework, and how to combine both in processes requiring long-running orchestration and queue-based tasks.

Does Maestro Orchestrate replace ReFramework?

• No. Maestro Orchestrate orchestrates end-to-end processes. The ReFramework still supports running transactional UI performers, especially those that are queue-driven.

Quand est-ce que j'utilise l'une ou l'autre ?

• Use Maestro Orchestrate for long-running, multi-actor flows. Use ReFramework for robust, queue-based UI tasks. Use both when a process needs orchestration plus reliable execution.

Comment utilisons-nous les files d'attente dans un processus agentique ?

• Have Maestro Orchestrate start jobs or create queue items, let ReFramework performers process them.

Comment conservons-nous les « économies d'échelle » de REFramework (connectez-vous une fois, effectuez-en plusieurs) ?

• Keep using Queues and Robot Performers for batched UI work. Maestro Orchestrate orchestrates around them.

REFramework doit-il être utilisé avec un processus agentique ?

• Yes. Use ReFramework for the RPA performers. Maestro Orchestrate orchestrates the end-to-end flow. Only RPA robots should be queue performers.

Ne pouvons-nous pas déjà tout faire avec REFramework ?

• You can, but you pay an "orchestration tax": custom chains of queues or state tracking, brittle cross-step retries, weak visibility. Maestro Orchestrate provides native process-level control.

Why isn’t Maestro Orchestrate, or an Agentic Process, a queue "performer" (reading directly from a Queue)?

• Maestro Orchestrate is the orchestrator. Queue performers will remain for RPA robot. An Agentic process maps 1:1 to a unit of work, which is effectively the queue item. This implies that the process is the "queue", not a consumer of it. If you need Maestro Orchestrate to drive off work, modify or replace the dispatcher to invoke Maestro Orchestrate directly (Run Job) instead of creating a queue item.
