Field

Description

Enable this checkbox to allow classic folders activation on your Orchestrator tenants. This allows you to activate classic folders on a per-tenant basis. (Tenant context > Settings > General tab)

By default, classic folders are disabled for new Orchestrator deployments, meaning modern folders are the default option for new tenants.

The Application Tab

The Deployment Tab

Note:

Settings made on the Deployment tab are loaded only when the Robot Service connects to the server. Whenever they are modified you need to restart the UiRobotSvc service for the changes to take effect.

Changes made on the Deployment tab are only used by new tenants, they do not propagate to existing ones. In order to change them for existing tenants, you must make the changes explicitly per tenant.

If you are running the Community version, you need to restart the tray for the change to take effect. Logs are cached locally while the Robot is offline, and are sent to Orchestrator when it reconnects.

    Note: Please note that if you restart the UiPath Robot service or the machine the Robot is running on while in an offline environment, the license is lost.

Identity Server

The Scalability Tab

SignalR (Robots)

Field

Description

Enabled

This toggle specifies if the Robot service subscribes to Orchestrator's SignalR channels or not. By default, this setting is enabled, and all available channels are selected:

  • WebSocket
  • Server-Sent Events (SSE)
  • Long Polling

When all transport channels are enabled, the best available transport is automatically selected, in the following priority order: WebSocket > Server-Sent Events > Long Polling. If the first protocol is not available for any reason, the next in line (if enabled) is used to facilitate the communication between Orchestrator and Robot.

Upon upgrade, the value of this setting is preserved.

WebSocket

When selected, enables the WebSocket transport protocol to be used to connect the Robot to Orchestrator's SignalR channels. This is the highest protocol used in the order of priority due to its performance and support for simultaneous communication in both directions - from the Robot service to Orchestrator and vice versa.

This option cannot be used if the SignalR (Robots) feature is not enabled.

Upon upgrade, the value of this setting is preserved.

Server-Sent Events (SSE)

When selected, enables the Server-Sent Events (SSE) push technology to be used to connect the Robot to Orchestrator's SignalR channels. This is the first backup in case WebSockets is not available for any reason.

This option cannot be used if the SignalR (Robots) feature is not enabled.

Upon upgrade, the value of this setting is preserved.

Long Polling

When selected, enables the long polling transport protocol to be used to connect the Robot to Orchestrator's SignalR channels. This protocol is used in case the WebSockets and SSE ones are not available.

This option cannot be used if the SignalR (Robots) feature is not enabled.

Upon upgrade, the value of this setting is preserved.
