Important!

Please note that if you restart the UiPath Robot service or the machine the Robot is running on while in an offline environment, the license is lost.

The Scalability Tab

SignalR (Robots)

FieldDescription
EnabledThis toggle specifies if the Robot service subscribes to Orchestrator's SignalR channels or not. By default, this setting is enabled, and all available channels are selected:
WebSocket
Server-Sent Events (SSE)
Long Polling

When all transport channels are enabled, the best available transport is automatically selected, in the following priority order: WebSocket > Server-Sent Events > Long Polling. If the first protocol is not available for any reason, the next in line (if enabled) is used to facilitate the communication between Orchestrator and Robot.

Upon upgrade, the value of this setting is preserved.
WebSocketWhen selected, enables the WebSocket transport protocol to be used to connect the Robot to Orchestrator's SignalR channels. This is the highest protocol used in the order of priority due to its performance and support for simultaneous communication in both directions - from the Robot service to Orchestrator and vice versa.

This option cannot be used if the SignalR (Robots) feature is not enabled.

Upon upgrade, the value of this setting is preserved.
Server-Sent Events (SSE)When selected, enables the Server-Sent Events (SSE) push technology to be used to connect the Robot to Orchestrator's SignalR channels. This is the first backup in case WebSockets is not available for any reason.

This option cannot be used if the SignalR (Robots) feature is not enabled.

Upon upgrade, the value of this setting is preserved.
Long PollingWhen selected, enables the long polling transport protocol to be used to connect the Robot to Orchestrator's SignalR channels. This protocol is used in case the WebSockets and SSE ones are not available.

This option cannot be used if the SignalR (Robots) feature is not enabled.

Upon upgrade, the value of this setting is preserved.
