ReFrameWork Template

Robotic Enterprise Framework

• built on top of Transactional Business Process template
• using State Machine layout for the phases of automation project
• offering high level exception handling and application recovery
• keeps external settings in Config.xlsx file and Orchestrator assets
• pulls credentials from Credential Manager and Orchestrator assets
• gets transaction data from Orchestrator queue and updates back status
• takes screenshots in case of application exceptions
• provides extra utility workflows like sending a templated email
• runs sample Notepad application with dummy Excel input data

How It Works

1. INITIALIZE PROCESS

• InitiAllSettings - Load config data from file and from assets
• InitiAllApplications - Login to applications as per Config("OpenApps") field
  • GetAppCredentials - From Orchestrator assets or local Credential Manager
• If failing, retry a few times as per Config("ProcessRetries")

2. GET TRANSACTION DATA

   • ./Framework/GetTransactionData - Fetches from Orchestrator queue as per Config("TransactionQueue")
   • ./GetTransactionData - Sample for working with Excel input files

3. PROCESS TRANSACTION

• Try ProcessTransaction
• If application exceptions happen
  • SaveErrorScreen - In Config("ErrorsFolder") with the exception message
  • Going to re/INITIALIZE
• SetTransactionStatus - As Success, Failed or Rejected with reason
  • ./Framework/SetTransactionStatus - Updates the Orchestrator queue item
  • ./SetTransactionStatus - Sample for updating Excel input file

4. END PROCESS

• CloseAllApplications - As listed in Config("CloseApps")

For New Project

1. Check out the Config.xlsx file and add/customize any required fields and values
2. Implement OpenApp and CloseApp workflows, linking them in the Config.xlsx fields
3. Implement GetTransactionData and SetTransactionStatus or use ./Framework versions for Orchestrator queues
4. Implement ProcessTransaction workflow and any invoked others
