Installing an activity package for working with an existing UiPath process

All UiPath processes consist of various activities. When a process is launched by a Robot or opened in UiPath Studio, a search is carried out in the available activity feeds for the relevant activities, which are then downloaded. To open a sample ABBYY FlexiCapture 12 Processor process, place the A.FlexiCapture.WebApi.Client.nupkg and Abbyy.Activities.UiPath.FlexiCaptureActivities.nupkg packages in a Robot-accessible Activity Feed. To do this:
  • Place them in the %LocalAppData%\UiPath\app-xx.x.x\Packages folder if you are using UiPath Community Edition (where xx.x.x denotes the UiPath version number).
  • Place them in the C:\Program Files (x86)\UiPath\Studio\Packages folder if you are using UiPath Enterpise Edition.
Note: To find out the path to the Robot’s local feed, open UiPath Studio and open the Settings tab. Then, select Local in Manage Sources. To decrease the time needed to update a package for all Robots, place it in the Orchestrator’s Activity Feed (in this case, the packages will become available for all Robots connected to Orchestrator). To do this:
  • If you are using UiPath Community Edition, go to the cloud Orchestrator and select Processes → Packages. Then click Upload a upload the Abbyy.FlexiCapture.WebApi.Client.nupkg and Abbyy.Activities.UiPath.FlexiCaptureActivities.nupkg packages one after another.
  • If you are using UiPath Enterpise Edition, copy the packages to the Orchestrator’s Activity Feed (by default, it is located in C:\Program Files (x86)\UiPath\Orchestrator\NuGetPackages\Activities on a machine that has Orchestrator installed) or download the packages on the Libraries tab in the Orchestrator web application.
For more information about Activities Feeds, see UiPath documentation.

Adding an activity package to a new process

To use the Capture Data activity in a new process or add it to an existing one, you need to include the Abbyy.Activities.UiPath.FlexiCaptureActivities.nupkg activity package in the dependencies of the process. To do this:
  1. Open an existing process in UiPath Studio and click Manage Packages.
  1. Select Settings and find the local Source in the Default package sources list.
  1. Copy the Abbyy.FlexiCapture.WebApi.Client.nupkg and Abbyy.Activities.UiPath.FlexiCaptureActivities.nupkg packages to the folder, the path to which is specified in Default local package source. Alternatively, place these packages in any other available source from the list.
  2. Go to Manage Packages and navigate to All packages → Local. Then, select Abbyy.Activities.UiPath.FlexiCaptureActivities in the activity list.
  3. Click Install, then click Save.
After that, the Capture Data activity will appear in the available activies list:
