FC-UIP-PERSIST-001: Persistence activity

Workflow uses a long-running orchestration persistence activity (Persist, PersistDelay, TriggerScope, Pick).

What it detects

Workflow uses a long-running orchestration persistence activity (Persist, PersistDelay, TriggerScope, Pick). Flowcerta surfaces this finding from the active validation pipeline for supported file types and platforms.

Why it matters

Maintainability findings matter because they amplify operational drag over time. Bots with deep nesting, arbitrary waits, or hidden assumptions are harder to review, fix, and safely change.

Example violation

Workflow uses a long-running orchestration persistence activity (Persist, PersistDelay, TriggerScope, Pick).

Fix guidance

UiPath

  • Confirm the project is intentionally a long-running workflow; otherwise replace persistence with a synchronous activity to keep behavior predictable.
  • Use platform-native assets, credentials, bounded retries, and Log Message checkpoints instead of hardcoded literals or silent failure paths.
  • Revalidate the workflow after the change and confirm the finding no longer appears.

Verification steps

  1. Run validation again and confirm the rule no longer appears in the finding list.
  2. Review the changed workflow artifact directly to verify the risky pattern is gone.
  3. Capture the new validation result as evidence for the relevant owner or compliance review.
