Configuration Assets in UiPath better then Excel Config files ?
Hi Friends,
This video is regarding the configuration assets that can be used instead of Excel Config File.
Config asset is nothing but a collection of configurable data in one single asset on Orchestrator which can be set from the Orchestrator and from code as well.
The configurable data is stored in the form of json text in a config asset on orchestrator.
We get asset value in a string variable and assign it to a JObject variable
and assign Key value pair to dictionary variable.
The main moto of Config Asset is not to use the excel Config.xlsx. We won’t need to use excel Config files in our Automations.
Reasons why not to use excel config file
Reading the excel config file is slow.
Excel file can get corrupted.
Updating configurable data requires us to open excel manually and update then we require to publish the latest excel code and upload it to the orchestrator again.
Configuration asset makes it updating easy directly from the orchestrator.
