Alibaba Cloud RPA: How to Use Attended Robots (Part 8)
By Yanmin
This article is one of a series of lectures on Alibaba Cloud robotic process automation (RPA). Lecture 7 described how to compile a first RPA application (used to obtain product information on Taobao) in visual development mode. This lecture describes how to use attended robots to run the application.
1. Publish the Application
The application developed in lecture 7 must first be published on the enterprise application market before it can be used by others. To publish this application, click Publish to Enterprise Application Market in the toolbar and set the basic information of the application. After the application is published on the enterprise application market, other users can obtain this application using attended robots, as shown in the following figure:
2. Obtain and Approve the Application
(1) Start the attended robot client and obtain the developed RPA application.
(2) The administrator logs on to the console to approve the application.
(3) After the application is approved, the application is displayed on the attended robot page.
3. Run the Application
Click Open. The application execution page appears.
After the application is run, the Huawei mobile phone information that you have obtained is written to the data table, as shown in the following figure:
By clicking relevant buttons, you can use the attended robot to run applications that have already been developed. This automates the execution of application processes and greatly improves the work efficiency.
The next lecture describes how to use an unattended robot to run the preceding application. Unattended robots can be triggered at regular intervals without human intervention.
