Utility to clear cache in Chrome web browser?

BernadetteStroe — Sun, 11 Apr 2021 12:38:29 GMT

Hi there

I'm still new to Blue Prism. Before I start creating an object for this, can you tell me whether there is already a VBO that would clear the cache and do other settings-related actions in Google Chrome windows.
Thanks

Hi Bernadette.

Welcome to Blue Prism-land. Unfortunately, there is nothing like that in the base installation. I did check our Digital Exchange (DX) just to confirm but did not find any joy their either.

I'm sure there are more sophisticated ways to do this but you can certainly map the actions needed to perform this once you've launched Chrome.

Good luck.

Can you try downloading this asset from DX https://digitalexchange.blueprism.com/dx/entry/9648/solution/blue-prism---script-execution-vbo

This BP release contains 1 process and 2 VBOs. Use the VBO named “Script Execution VBO – Visual Basic” with below parameters.

Change the third parameter as needed as per below:-

Clear_Temp_Files

"InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 8 "

Clear_Cookies

"InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 2"

Clear_History

"InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 1"

Clear_Form_Data

"InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 16"

Clear_Saved_Passwords

"InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 32"

Clear_All

"InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 255"

Clear_Clear_Add_ons_Settings

"InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 4351"

Thanks so much @Jack Look and @shashank.kumar280
I managed to create a page in my VBO to do this but I’ll certainly explore that asset as well.
