uip maestro case registry

Browse and search the Maestro Case Management registry of activities, triggers, connectors, and other automation resources using `uip maestro case registry`.

uip maestro case registry browses and searches the Case Management registry — a local, cached catalog of the automation resources (processes, agents, APIs, flows, connector activities/triggers, action apps, and optionally an in-progress solution's own resources) a case definition can wire tasks to. Pull the registry once per session, then search or fetch resources by identifier while authoring a case.

For the overall uip maestro case subsystem and how registry resources feed into task authoring, see the overview.

Synopsis

uip maestro case registry pull [-f, --force] [-s, --solution-id <solutionId>]
uip maestro case registry search [keyword] [-t, --type <type>] [-f, --filter <filter>] [--local]
uip maestro case registry list [--local]
uip maestro case registry get <identifier> [-t, --type <type>] [--connection-id <id>] [--local]
uip maestro case registry get-connector -t, --type <type> --activity-type-id <id>
uip maestro case registry get-connection -t, --type <type> --activity-type-id <id>
uip maestro case registry pull [-f, --force] [-s, --solution-id <solutionId>]
uip maestro case registry search [keyword] [-t, --type <type>] [-f, --filter <filter>] [--local]
uip maestro case registry list [--local]
uip maestro case registry get <identifier> [-t, --type <type>] [--connection-id <id>] [--local]
uip maestro case registry get-connector -t, --type <type> --activity-type-id <id>
uip maestro case registry get-connection -t, --type <type> --activity-type-id <id>

Typical workflow:

  1. uip maestro case registry pull — fetch and cache the full resource registry (run once per session).
  2. uip maestro case registry search <keyword> — find a resource.
  3. uip maestro case registry get <identifier> — inspect its full schema.
  4. uip maestro case registry get <identifier> --output-filter "Node.inputDefinition.fields" — extract just the input fields.

Concepts

  • Resource types — the registry indexes 17 resource types: agent, process, api, processOrchestration, caseManagement, flow, action-apps, solution, plus 9 typecache-* connector index files split by catalog source (typecache-activities, typecache-triggers, typecache-packages, and the -external-automation-*/-external-agent-* variants of each). They're kept as separate cache files because the underlying catalogs are disjoint — merging them would make each pull overwrite the previous type's entries.
  • --local modesearch, list, and get accept --local to search only in-solution sibling project resources instead of the tenant-wide cache. Requires a .uipx file in the current directory or one of its two parent directories; the identifier for get --local is the sibling's resource key or its .uipx project ID.
  • solution resources — the solution resource type is cached only when pull is given --solution-id <id>; searching/getting --type solution without having pulled it first returns an explicit hint to run pull --solution-id first.
  • Connector enrichmentget automatically enriches typecache-activities/typecache-triggers matches with live connector metadata (looked up by the entry's uiPathActivityTypeId) when possible; pass --connection-id to get connection-specific custom-field metadata. This enrichment is silently skipped (not an error) if the lookup fails.
  • get-connector / get-connection — lower-level lookups against the local TypeCache index only (not the general resource cache): get-connector resolves one connector activity/trigger entry plus its connector config by --activity-type-id; get-connection does the same lookup and then fetches the connector's available connections from Integration Service.

uip maestro case registry pull

Fetch and cache all resource types. Runs all types in parallel and reports a per-type breakdown, including any that failed.

Options

ShortLongValueDescription
-f--forceflagIgnore the cache and re-fetch every resource type.
-s--solution-id <solutionId>stringAlso pull and cache the given solution's own resources (the solution resource type).

  "Code": "PullResourcesSuccess",
  "Data": {
    "TotalNodesCount": 128,
    "FromCache": false,
    "ResourceTypes": [
      {
        "Type": "typecache-activities",
        "NodesCount": 80,
        "FromCache": false,

        "CacheWritten": true,
        "Info": null
      }
    ],
    "Errors": null
  }
}

Result is "PartialSuccess, N failed" (not "Success") when one or more resource types fail to pull — Errors then lists each failed type with its error message; the successfully-pulled types are still cached and reflected in ResourceTypes.

Search cached resources by keyword and/or field filters. At least one of [keyword] or --filter is required.

Arguments

NameRequiredPurpose
[keyword]no*Free-text keyword to search for.

* Either [keyword], --filter, or both must be given — omitting both fails before any lookup.

Options

ShortLongValueDescription
-t--type <type>enumLimit the search to one resource type. One of the searchable types — see Concepts for the full 17-type list (all RESOURCE_TYPES values are valid here).
-f--filter <filter>stringField filters: field=value or field:operator=value, comma-separated for multiple (e.g. name:contains=Apple,category=Pipelines). Fields: name, title, description, category, connectorKey. Operators: equals, contains, in, startsWith, endsWith.
--localflagSearch only in-solution sibling resources. See Concepts.

Examples

uip maestro case registry search invoice
uip maestro case registry search invoice
uip maestro case registry search --filter "name:contains=Apple,category=Pipelines"
uip maestro case registry search --filter "name:contains=Apple,category=Pipelines"

        }
      }
    ],
    "FailedTypes": null,
    "Hint": null
  }
}

Hint is populated (rather than omitted) specifically when --type solution returns zero results and --local wasn't passed — it points you at registry pull --solution-id <id>. FailedTypes lists any resource types that errored during the search (partial results are still returned for the types that succeeded).

uip maestro case registry list

List every cached resource, grouped by type. Does not hit the network — reflects whatever pull last cached; run pull first (or again) to refresh.

Options

LongValueDescription
--localflagList only in-solution sibling resources instead of the tenant-wide cache. See Concepts.

  "Result": "Success",
  "Code": "ResourceListSuccess",
  "Data": {
    "ResourcesCount": 128,
    "Local": false,
    "ResourceTypes": [
      { "Type": "typecache-activities", "Count": 80 },
      { "Type": "typecache-triggers", "Count": 48 }

      { "Type": "typecache-triggers", "Count": 48 }
    ],
    "resources": []
  }
}

--local resolves the solution and scans its resource tree directly (no cache involved); a missing solution (no .uipx found) is reported as a clean error rather than an empty list.

uip maestro case registry get

Get one or more full resource records by identifier.

Arguments

NameRequiredPurpose
<identifier>yesThe resource's entityKey (process-like types) or id (action-apps) — see each type's id field via Concepts. With --local, the sibling project's resource key or .uipx project ID instead.

Options

ShortLongValueDescription
-t--type <type>enumLimit the lookup to one resource type (same set as search --type).
--connection-id <id>stringConnection ID for connector-specific Integration Service field metadata (custom fields). Only applies to typecache-* activity/trigger matches.
--localflagResolve against in-solution sibling resources instead of the tenant cache. See Concepts.

Example

uip maestro case registry get a1b2c3d4-0000-0000-0000-000000000001

    "Local": false,
    "Resources": [
      {
        "ResourceType": "typecache-activities",
        "Resource": {
          "uiPathActivityTypeId": "a1b2c3d4-0000-0000-0000-000000000001",
          "name": "InvoiceParser"
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}
{
  "Result": "Success",
  "Code": "ResourceGetSuccess",
  "Data": {
    "MatchCount": 1,
    "Local": false,
    "Resources": [
      {

        "Resource": {
          "uiPathActivityTypeId": "a1b2c3d4-0000-0000-0000-000000000001",
          "name": "InvoiceParser"
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

Zero matches is a failure (Code-less error response), not an empty success — the error's Instructions differ by mode: a --local miss suggests re-checking the sibling's resource key or project ID via registry list --local; a --type solution miss suggests running pull --solution-id first; anything else just reports "no resource found."

uip maestro case registry get-connector

Look up a single connector activity/trigger entry (and its connector config) directly from the local TypeCache index, bypassing the general resource search.

Options

ShortLongValueRequiredDescription
-t--type <type>enumyesTypeCache index to look in: typecache-activities, typecache-triggers, typecache-external-automation-activities, typecache-external-automation-triggers, typecache-external-agent-activities, or typecache-external-agent-triggers.
--activity-type-id <id>stringyesThe uiPathActivityTypeId to look up.

Example

uip maestro case registry get-connector --type typecache-activities --activity-type-id a1b2c3d4-0000-0000-0000-000000000001
uip maestro case registry get-connector --type typecache-activities --activity-type-id a1b2c3d4-0000-0000-0000-000000000001

    },
    "Config": { "connectorKey": "uipath-connector-a" }
  }
}

uip maestro case registry get-connection

Look up a connector activity/trigger (same lookup as get-connector), then fetch its available Integration Service connections.

Options

ShortLongValueRequiredDescription
-t--type <type>enumyesSame TypeCache index choices as get-connector.
--activity-type-id <id>stringyesThe uiPathActivityTypeId to look up.

Binding a task input to a variable

A task's input is wired to a literal value/expression or another task's output by editing the case management JSON schema file directly. Field reference: a task's input at a dot-separated <field-path> (<input-name>[.<key1>[.<key2>...]] — no dots sets input.value directly; each dot segment traverses one property level, e.g. body.body.body for a connector activity's nested request body) takes either a literal string, an expression with an allowed prefix (=vars., =bindings., =js:, =metadata., =datafabric., =orchestrator.JobAttachments, =response, =result, =Error, =jsonString:), or a generated =vars.<id> expression when sourcing another task's output. Edit caseplan.json's task input directly to set any of these, then run uip maestro case validate <file>.
