Enabling Process Mining

Enabling Process Mining in Automation Suite

Process Mining is provided as part of the Automation Suite complete profile, hence it is enabled automatically. To disable Process Mining, follow the Advanced installation experience guide.

AI Units

Introduction

Process Mining will consume AI Units based on how much data capacity is consumed. The conversion rate used is 1 AI Unit = 125 rows. Process Mining counts the data volume in number of rows of the Event Log table available in the applications. Rows are counted based on visualized data, regardless of the uploaded quantities.

Initial data capacity

When enabling Process Mining for a tenant, 8000 AI units are charged, which will allow you to ingest 1 million rows of data for the next 12 months. If there are less than 12 months remaining on the AI Units license, the amount of AI Units consumed will be lower.

When you ingest more than 1 million rows, AI Unit consumption will be adjusted based on the difference between the new necessary capacity and the previous one. This will also apply to future data ingestions.

Development data and production data

It is strongly recommended to use a small dataset for app development and testing data transformations. AI Units will be consumed regardless of the stage of the process app where the data is viewed. This means that both development datasets and production datasets consume AI Units when ingested. The total data capacity used by one Process Mining App is the sum of the production and development dataset.

When a process app is in development, AI Unit consumption is triggered when the data is pushed to the dashboards using the Apply to dashboards action.

Freeing up data capacity

Deleting process apps or reducing data volumes for existing process apps will free up data capacity in Process Mining. This means new data added will not trigger consumption of AI Units unless it exceeds the previous peak capacity that was used. If you ingest new data but the total amount of data does not surpass the highest amount of data capacity used in the past, it will not lead to additional consumption of AI Units.

Note:

AI Unit consumption and capacity are tenant based. This means that freed capacity can only be used in the same tenant where the AI Units were originally consumed.

End of licensing period

At the end of the licensing period of AI Units, Process Mining will re-consume AI Units for the entire data capacity that is utilized in the product at that given time, according to the new license terms, with a minimum of 1million rows.

Refer to AI Units for more information on AI Units.

Access to Automation Suite

To start using the Process Mining service you need an Automation Suite account. See About accounts for more details.

Tenants and services

The Process Mining service that allows you to manage and set up process apps must be enabled on each of the tenants where the Process Mining service will be used.

Note: Process Mining is a tenant-level service signifying that each tenant's data is segregated. This means that you need to enable the service for each of the tenants where this is needed.

Enabling the Process Mining service

To start using Process Mining in Automation Suite, you must enable the Process Mining service on a selected tenant. Follow these steps to enable the Process Mining services on a tenant.

1. Log in to Automation Suite in with your UiPath® account.
2. Select Admin to display the list of available tenants and enable the service for an already existing tenant.
3. Locate the tenant for which you want to enable the Process Mining service.

4. Select the Services tile.

   The Services page for the tenant opens, showing the services that are currently provisioned.

5. Select Add Services at the top right.

   Note: The button is only available if you have not already provisioned all services.
6. Select the Process Mining checkbox in the Add Service panel.
7. Select Add.

The Add Services panel closes and the tenant is briefly unavailable while the Process Mining service is being provisioned. When finished, the Process Mining service is displayed on the Services page.

When accessing the newly created/updated tenant, the Process Mining service is displayed on the left-hand side panel.
