Where is the scheduling of a process typically done?

Scheduling in the context of Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is predominantly handled through the Orchestrator Server. This dedicated platform is designed to manage, monitor, and orchestrate bots and processes efficiently across multiple environments. By using the Orchestrator, users can set specific schedules for when processes should be triggered.

The Orchestrator also offers advanced features such as monitoring the execution, handling queues, managing robot allocation, and creating alerts. This centralized approach allows for better scalability and management of RPA deployments, ensuring that processes can run at optimal times without manual intervention.

While other options may seem plausible, they do not provide the same level of functionality or centralized control required for large-scale RPA operations. For instance, UiPath Studio is primarily intended for designing and developing automation workflows, not for scheduling them. Local machine's Task Scheduler is limited to scheduling tasks only on that specific machine, which does not suit the needs of enterprise-level automation. Direct API calls are more focused on interactions or data exchanges rather than scheduling processes. Thus, using the Orchestrator Server for scheduling ensures that processes are efficiently managed and executed in a structured manner across the operational landscape.
