Process Dependency Tracker

KunalPuranik — Wed, 27 Jun 2018 22:27:00 GMT

Idea: What I am looking for is a consolidated report of the Blue Prism process and objects and their mapping. Also the environment variables, queues used by the process. The idea is to build a tracker to get a summary view of which processes are using which objects, queues, environment variables, access credentials etc. . The next level of detail being the object and the all the actions in it. Purpose: The purpose of this tracker is to serve as a record to be accessed by Developers : to check if an object is already present that they want to use, rather than creating a new one every time, or having to go and check into Blue Prism by opening the object to know what actions it has. This will prevent duplicate objects from being developed and save time. Testers : to check if a change in a particular process/object affects another process/object. QAs : A quick check to ensure a release has all the inter-dependent pieces in it. Also, to troubleshoot if a release fails because its missing something. Current: Currently we are doing it manually, by opening each process in the BP and checking its dependencies. Any ideas around it will be helpful.

Have you tried ""Blue Prism Release Analyser Tool V5"" (you can find it in the document tab)? I think it's the closest thing of what you are looking for. First, make a release file of all your process, object, etc. Then Run the the Analyser on it. Regards, Met Vonghiran

Please submit your idea here https://portal.blueprism.com/products/enhancement-request The tool Met described was created by me, and while it can be very useful, the limitation is that you need to create a potentially huge release file, and if your environment is very large, then this becomes impractical.

@John_Carter : That is very true. Also, since this is an ongoing process, I will have to ask my developers to run the Analyser tool with their release. and then add to a master tracker that was originally created. This is too much manual work.
