Running DataUploader
Follow these steps to load data using DataUploader.
-
Download the DataUploader.
-
Create a folder and copy the input files the that you want to upload using DataUploader in this folder.
-
Open a Windows Powershell.
-
Navigate to the location where you downloaded the DataUploader.
-
Run one of the following commands:
Enclose each parameter value in quotes.
process-mining-data-uploader.exe "<csv dir>" "<sas url>" "<end-of-upload api>"
process-mining-data-uploader.exe "<csv dir>" "<sas url>" "<end-of-upload api>"
process-mining-data-uploader.exe -c "<myfolder>" -s "<my-sas-uri>" -e "<my-end-of-upload-api>"
process-mining-data-uploader.exe -c "<myfolder>" -s "<my-sas-uri>" -e "<my-end-of-upload-api>"
process-mining-data-uploader.exe --config-file "path\to\config\file"
process-mining-data-uploader.exe --config-file "path\to\config\file"
A progress bar is displayed for each file upload.

Follow these steps to run the DataUploader.
-
Open a Windows Powershell and navigate to the location where you downloaded the DataUploader.
-
Run the DataUploader with the incremental tables setting. The following code shows an example command to run the DataUploader.
process-mining-data-uploader.exe -t, --tables [{"prefix": "pfx01", "name": "Table01", "load-type": "incremental"}, {"prefix": "pfx02", "name": "Table02", "load-type": "full"}]
process-mining-data-uploader.exe -t, --tables [{"prefix": "pfx01", "name": "Table01", "load-type": "incremental"}, {"prefix": "pfx02", "name": "Table02", "load-type": "full"}]Important:Make sure to enclose each parameter value in quotes.
If the upload fails, for example, due to an unstable connection, DataUploader will retry the upload up to 4 times. If the data upload was not successful after 5 times, a report is created.
UNABLE_TO_GET_ISSUER_CERT_LOCALLY
.
This can be resolved by pointing DataUploader to your organization's Certificate Authority (CA) certificate.
Follow these steps.
-
Create an environment variable called NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS.
-
Set the value of the new environment variable to the file path of your CA certificate.
In case some of the files have failed the upload, you can restart DataUploader using the same command and with same files.
What if my files are uploaded, but end of upload endpoint is not called?
Occasionally, it can happen that End of upload API is not called successfully, even after all files are uploaded. If you do not see following log after files are uploaded from data uploader, it means that End of upload API was not called successfully:
End-of-upload API reached successfully, data transformation started.
In this case, you can copy and run the following code in a PowerShell session to call the End of upload API.
$endOfUploadUri = "*******"
$delimiter = 9 # you can change this to the ascii of the character of your choice
$fullUri = "$endOfUploadUri&dataLoadOptionsJson=%7B%22UseSampleData%22%3Afalse%2C%22FileFormatOptions%22%3A%7B%22FieldDelimiter%22%3A%22$delimiter%22%7D%7D"
$response = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $fullUri -Method POST
Write-Output $response.StatusCode
$endOfUploadUri = "*******"
$delimiter = 9 # you can change this to the ascii of the character of your choice
$fullUri = "$endOfUploadUri&dataLoadOptionsJson=%7B%22UseSampleData%22%3Afalse%2C%22FileFormatOptions%22%3A%7B%22FieldDelimiter%22%3A%22$delimiter%22%7D%7D"
$response = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $fullUri -Method POST
Write-Output $response.StatusCode
UNABLE_TO_GET_ISSUER_CERT_LOCALLY
.
You can fix this by providing DataUploader with the valid certificate chain.
Follow these steps to provide DataUploader with the valid certificate chain.
-
Go to the Process Mining Portal and from the Process apps tab, open the process app.
-
Navigate to the address bar in the web browser and select the View site information icon at the left in the address bar.
-
Select Connection is secure, and then select Certificate is valid to display the certificate.
-
Go to the Details tab, and expand the Certificate Hierarchy.
-
Select the
cloud.uipath.com
entry and select Export.... -
Select a location to save the certificate file on your computer and make sure to save it as type Base64-encoded ASCII, certificate chain (*.pem;*crt).
Thecloud.uipath.crt
file will appear in the selected location. -
Create an environment variable NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS and set the value of this variable to the full file path of the certificate selected in step 6 (including the folder path, file name and file extension)
-
Open the Windows System Properties.
-
Go to the Advanced tab.
-
Select Environment Variables.
-
Select New to add a new System variable.
-
-
Initiate a new PowerShell session to ensure that the environment variable is recognized by the DataUploader.
