18b. Intro to the Robotic Enterprise Framework - The Get Transaction Data State
In this video, we'll learn about the workflows, arguments, and variables used in this state. Additionally, we'll also cover the Stop mechanism that the template provides.
Okay! Get Transaction Data.
This state retrieves one by one the transaction items containing the data to be processed. In this project, this is where the Robot retrieves the Queue Items containing the Cash In, On Us Check and Not On Us Check values.
So, what is a transaction?
We define a transaction as the repetitive part of our process. It represents the
minimum atomic amount of data and the necessary steps required to process the data, to fulfill a section of a business process.
A typical example would be a process that reads a single email from a mailbox and extracts data from it.
We call the data atomic because once it is processed, the assumption is that, going forward, we no longer need it with the business process.
