Build a robot to upload documents to Document Automation
Build a robot to upload documents to a specific learning instance for processing and extraction.
Prérequis
- Ensure you have the name of the destination learning instance.
- If you have an adequate amount of Bot Runners connected. For
instructions on connecting a Bot Runner, see step 5 of Configuration de votre environnement Document Automation.Remarque : You need a dedicated Bot Runner for this robot and additional Bot Runners for the
extraction
anddownload
robots, depending on the average number of pages in the documents. Review the explanation below for more guidance on how many Bot Runners are needed. - Decide on the scheduling interval for deploying this robot with a maximum interval of every thirty minutes.
- Determine the average number of pages in the documents awaiting upload.
This robot is necessary for end-to-end automation of the document
extraction process. When deployed, the robot checks if there are enough Bot Runners to handle the documents, by comparing the number of files
already uploaded against a calculated value. The calculation considers the number of Bot Runners, scheduling interval, and average number of pages in the
documents.
Remarque : This step is important as it controls the number of documents being
uploaded to ensure smooth processing and avoid overloading the Bot Runners, which might cause a time-out error.
To determine the number of Bot Runners needed, consider the following:
- One Bot Runner can process a single-page document in one minute.
- One Bot Runner can process a two-page documents in two minutes.
- One Bot Runner can process 1440 single-page documents in one day.
- Two Bot Runners can process two single-page documents in one minute.
Remarque : The current Bot Runner
driven architecture of Document Automation is a constraint to facilitate
the real-time or near-real-time processing.
Use this equation to determine how many Bot Runners are needed:
Number of Documents to Process per day * Average Number of Pages per document / 1440 = Number of Bot Runners
Remarque : If the equation result is not an integer, you must round up to the next whole
number to obtain an adequate number of Bot Runners. For example, if
the equation result is 4.2, you will need 5 Bot Runners.
To learn more, search for the Document Automation Developer course in Automation Anywhere University : Formation et certification RPA (connexion à A-People requise).
As an example, if you want to process 10,000 documents each day with an average of one
page per document, you need seven Bot Runners:
10,000 documents * 1 page per document / 1440 = 7 Bot Runners
Procédure
