The Document Understanding Process uses two types of synchronization mechanisms to prevent

multiple robots from writing in a file at the same time: file locks and queues. File locks are used to

ensure that only one robot can access a file at a time, while queues are used to store the information

extracted from the documents and to avoid data loss or duplication. The process uses the following

activities to implement these mechanisms:

File Lock Scope: This activity creates a lock on a file or folder and executes a set of activities within it.

The lock is released when the scope ends or when an exception occurs. This activity ensures that only

one robot can read or write a file or folder at a time, and prevents other robots from accessing it until

the lock is released.

Add Queue Item: This activity adds an item to a queue in Orchestrator, along with some relevant

information, such as a reference, a priority, or a deadline. The item can be a JSON object, a string, or

any serializable .NET type. This activity ensures that the information extracted from the documents is

stored in a queue and can be retrieved by another robot or process later.

Get Queue Items: This activity retrieves a collection of items from a queue in Orchestrator, based on

some filters, such as status, reference, or creation time. The items can be processed by the robot or

passed to another activity, such as Update Queue Item or Delete Queue Item. This activity ensures

that the information stored in the queue can be accessed and manipulated by the robot or process.
