Get Datasets

Properties

• Input
  • Project Id
    • Type:int
    • Description: The ID of the project containing the datasets. This is a required argument.
  • Service Id
    • Type:int?
    • Description: The ID of the service containing the datasets. This is an optional argument.

Usage

1. Setup Activity:
   • Add the "Get Datasets" activity to your UiPath workflow.
   • Configure the required input argument:
     • Project Id: Specify the ID of the project from which you want to retrieve datasets.
   • Optionally, specify:
     • Service Id: Provide the ID of the service if you want to narrow down the dataset retrieval to a specific service within the project.
2. Execution:
   • The activity executes asynchronously, retrieving all custom datasets within the specified project or service.
   • It uses the configured API context to access the datasets via the dataset client.
3. Output:
   • The activity returns aList<CustomDataSet>, representing all retrieved datasets within the specified project or service.

Considerations

• Scope of Retrieval: The activity can retrieve datasets at the project level or be narrowed down to a specific service if the Service Id is provided.
• Data Integrity: Ensure that the project ID and service ID (if provided) are valid and correctly specified to avoid errors during retrieval.
• Permissions: Verify that the necessary permissions are in place for the user or application retrieving the datasets to prevent unauthorized actions.
• Performance: Depending on the number of datasets, the retrieval process might take some time. Consider implementing pagination or additional filtering if supported by your API to manage large volumes of data.
