0:00 Intro
Allan Zimmermann tells us what OpenRPA is. The Open Source product OpenRPA is automating UI activities in an easy environment.
2:25 A quick OpenRPA Demo
Allan shows us what OpenRPA is and how we can make simple automations in the user interface. We can also orchestrate things in OpenFlow and show that we have two way communication (from the robot to OpenFlow and back). Multi tenancy is easily set up and you can add as many users, as you want. All with different roles for the individual user. Extensive audit logging and version control is also present. How awesome is this? The difference between NodeRed and OpenFlow is explained. The programming language of OpenRPA is C#.
13:02 NodeRed
NodeRed is a workflow engine. In OpenRPA NodeRed is representing the way we automate with APIs. It’s developed by IBM.
15:30 Installing OpenRPA
You can install OpenRPA and OpenFlow. Then you have a free Open Source RPA enterprise tool. Check this guide: https://youtu.be/wfsDOYI-HA4.
19:50 OpenRPA Use Cases
You can find OpenRPA Use cases here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXXz88_TPiHqvKY1aGsfKL8JImbHjLfMi and read the documentation here: https://docs.openiap.io. Allan is showing us a very nice case, where the robot can be handled from NodeRed. Passing data to the local is also very easy. That could be an http request, that sended data to the robot and then we can easily trigger the robot with rest api.
24:36 Input Forms in OpenRPA
We can use the Input Forms to get information from the user. These web forms are not limited to users from NodeRed, but can be targeted for third party users. We can use the web forms as triggers.
29:11 Multiple RDP sessions
A part of the Premium OpenFlow is that you can run multiple RDP sessions. In that way we can do load balancing.
32:09 Child Session in OpenRPA
A very cool upcoming feature in OpenRPA is that you can run Child Sessions. That’s like a RDP session on your computer. Very smart then as an RPA Developer, you can debug and still develop or work with something else.
36:18 How OpenRPA was started
OpenFlow was doing automations of processes and those customers wanted RPA. Allan simply just developed OpenRPA in a weekend. I never get tired of this fantastic story. Watch this chapter for the great story of Allan.
41:02 Premium OpenFlow
You can have the premium version of OpenFlow, which lets you get data out of OpenFlow and easily do BI, Troubleshooting and logging.
46:15 Scheduling Robots with Windows Task Scheduler
