快速入门

本指南向您展示如何安装 UiPath 示例应用程序，以及如何构建一个简单的项目来验证与 Appian 平台的连接。

要验证连接，您将使用 Appian 活动构建一个自动化序列，以执行以下操作：

• Connect a user via the Appian Scope activity.
• Assign a task to a user via the Start Human Activity activity.

先决条件

在开始构建包含 Appian 活动的项目之前，您需要下载 UiPath 示例应用程序。 此示例应用程序包括（以及其他对象）示例流程模型和网页 API，它们可实现 Appian 和 UiPath 之间的连接和交互。

1. Download the UiPath Sample Application.

   • 您将导入此 .zip 上传到您的 Appian 平台，因此请将其保存在您可以轻松访问的位置。

2. Open the Appian platform in your browser and go to the Appian Designer (e.g., *https://*YourInstance.appiantrial.com/suite/design).

   

3. Go to Applications and click the Import button (this opens the Import Package window).

   

4. In the Import Package window, click the Upload button and select the .zip file that you saved in step 1.

5. Click the Inspect button to verify the package doesn't have errors.

   

6. After successful inspection, click the Import Package button.

   

操作完毕！ UiPath 示例应用程序现在可以使用了。 现在，我们使用“Appian 活动包”创建一个新的自动化项目。

步骤

创建新项目

1. 打开 UiPath Studio。

2. Under New Project, click Process to create a new project (this opens a New Blank Process window).

   

3. Enter a project Name, Location, and Description.

4. 单击“创建”。

   

You're done! Next, follow the steps below to add the Appian Activities Package to your project via Manage Packages.

添加 Appian 活动包

1. In your new project, click Design at the top of the page.

2. Click Manage Packages (this opens the Manage Packages window).

   

3. Under All Packages, click Go! .

4. Search for "Appian" (the search results automatically return as you type).

5. Click UiPath.Appian.Activities in the results panel (this opens the package details panel in the right-hand side of the window).

6. 单击“安装”。

7. Click Save (this opens a License Acceptance window).

   

8. Click I Accept in the License Acceptance window.

   

You're done! The Appian Activities package is now in your Activities > Available > Integrations > Appian.

现在，我们来构建您的第一个 Appian 自动化项目。

构建 Appian 自动化项目

亚壁古语作用域

1. In the Activities panel, go to Available > Integrations > Appian.

2. Click, drag, and drop the Appian Scope into the main Designer panel.

3. In the Designer panel, click the Appian Scope activity to open its Properties panel.

   

4. Enter the Server URL, Username, and Password for your Appian platform.

   

With the Appian Scope activity added, you're ready to add the Start Human Activity.

启动人类活动

This activity starts a predefined process (template) that is included in the UiPath Sample Application to assign a task to a group or individual.

1. In the Activities panel, go to Available > Integrations > Appian.

2. Click, drag, and drop the Start Human Activity into the main Designer panel.

3. In the Designer panel, click the Start Human Activity activity to open its Properties panel.

   

4. Enter the GroupId or Username that you want to assign to the process.

   • If you want to assign the process to a specific group of users, follow the steps below to locate the GroupId, otherwise enter a Username to assign it to an individual user.

   1. In the Designer panel, click the search icon next to the property (this opens the Select Group wizard).

   2. In the Select Group wizard, enter the ServerURL, Username, and Password that you used in the Appian Scope activity.

   3. Click the Connect button.

   4. Select the process from the list and click the Select button.

      

      

5. Create a String output variable and enter it in the ProcessId property.

   

6. To help verify the success of the process, add a Message Box activity after the Start Human Activity and enter your ProcessId output variable in the Text property (e.g., "Process ID: " + processId).

   

操作完毕！ 您的自动化流程现在可以运行了。

Next, let's test your Start Human Activity project by running the process and validating the results in your Appian platform.

测试“启动手动”活动

1. Open the Appian platform in your browser and go to the Appian Designer (e.g., *https://*YourInstance.appiantrial.com/suite/design).

2. Go to Applications and click the UiPath Sample Application link from the list of applications (this opens to the application objects).

   

3. From the UiPath Sample Application, click the Monitoring tab (this opens a list of your processes).

4. Select the Show process details check box (this shows the Process ID within the list of your processes).

   

5. Go to UiPath Studio and open the Appian automation project that you just created.

6. Click Run.

   

7. After the Start Human Activity runs, take note of the Process ID that is shown in the Message Box.

   

8. Verify the Start Human Activity process appears in the Appian monitoring list and the Process ID matches the Process ID from the Message Box.

   

操作完毕！ 您已成功构建并测试了 Appian 自动化项目，验证您的连接是否已准备好执行更多操作。
