Work with Robot Connections and Robot Connection Types

Update robot connections and robot connection types within a project. You don't need to open a robot to update these resources.

To learn more about robot connections and other robot resources, see Alternatives to Hard Coding Data.

Update a Robot Connection

A robot connection lets you store sensitive data, such as sign-in credentials, outside a robot for easier maintenance. You can update a robot connection at any time without having to open or update a robot. The next time a robot that uses the robot connection runs, the robot instance uses the updated values.

You typically create robot connections before you create a robot, and the robot connection contains details for a test or UAT environment. See Create Connections to Applications. Then, after you're ready to deploy a robot to production, update the robot connection so that it points to a production environment.

  1. Open a project.
    1. In the navigation pane, select Projects.
    2. Select the project name.
  2. In the left toolbar, select Robot Robot.
  3. In the Robot Connections box, find the robot connection to update.
  4. To the right of the robot connection, select …, and then select Edit.

    The Edit robot connection panel appears.

  5. Update the fields as necessary, and select Update.

    For example, if you're ready to deploy a robot to production, update the robot connection so that it contains the production URL and credentials.

Update a Robot Connection Type

You can update a robot connection type at any time. However, if a connection is already based on the robot connection type, the change might make the robot connection no longer valid.

  1. Open a project.
    1. In the navigation pane, select Projects.
    2. Select the project name.
  2. In the left toolbar, select Robot Robot.
  3. In the Robot connection types box, find the robot connection type to update.
  4. To the right of the robot connection, select …, and then select Edit.

    The Edit robot connection type panel appears.

  5. Update the fields as necessary, and select Update.

    If the robot connection type is used by a connection, a warning appears. You can cancel or proceed. If your change makes a connection invalid, such as by adding a new field, the status of the connection changes to Draft.
