Detailed Description
The invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following examples are only for illustrating the technical solutions of the present invention more clearly, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereby.
As shown in fig. 1, in a method for operating an RPA process without installation, a user 1 writes an RPA process, generates a URL, and shares the URL to a user 2;
the user 2 downloads the main control program which is not required to be installed when the user uses the system for the first time, and the volume of the main control program is small;
the main control program is used for opening the URL shared by the user 1, and the URL is used for downloading and decompressing a corresponding RPA process packet file (which can be any compressed file), wherein the RPA process packet file comprises an RPA process configuration file and an RPA process file;
the main control program obtains a software package list depended by the process according to the configuration file, judges missing software packages according to the local software packages and downloads the software packages;
after the main control program downloads the software packages, recording the software packages into a local software package list, and avoiding repeated downloading when the software packages are used again;
the main control program displays an editing dialog box according to the operating parameters in the configuration file, and allows a user to change the parameters during execution;
and the main control program executes the corresponding RPA flow according to the parameters modified by the user 2 and the entry method specified by the configuration file.
And generating the URL, which is realized in an RPA development environment, and automatically uploading the process package file to a unified process management server after the generation. The host simply uses this URL. This URL contains the RPA flow configuration file and the RPA flow file, the host program cannot modify their contents.
The main control program needs to connect two servers, an RPA flow management server (which only contains RPA flow configuration files and RPA flow files), and a software package management server (which only contains software packages). They are typically separate and may be located on a server.
The main control program will maintain a software package dependency tree, and when downloading the software package, it will first check whether the current software package and its dependent package are all cached locally. And if not, downloading. If yes, skipping downloading. The host program may connect to the server and update the package dependency tree.
The configuration file of each process can also be added with the description of sharing authority. If the authority is required, the main control program needs to log in the authentication server first to obtain the identification of the current user, and then can obtain the authority for downloading the corresponding process.
