Hi @Sanaa Fallah

In this formula you have 2 different functions

GetResourceName() -> This gives you the name of the PC that is running the process.
Replace() -> And this other one replace, search and replace a pattern inside one text with another text.

When it puts the Replace with "_debug" is because when you run the process over the Process Studio you will receive the current PC name with "_debug" concatenated.

And, about your question with the credentials. Its dependes of your process. If you considere that a password can expire and you want (and can) to reset it automatically, you can genete a new one in the same process with out any human help (for example).

Hops this helps you!!

See you in the community, bye 🙂

Credentials should always go in Credential Manager in the System tab for safety purposes as it is fully encrypted.
But if it is in credential manager then it is your responsibility to update the password in the future whenever needed.
However, as Pablo suggested there are options available to generate a new password from blue prism as well, and that new password you can save back to your credentials using Credentials action provided by blue prism out of the box.

Also if you want to use some kind of password inside the process that also works but make sure its data type is set as a password and not anything else so it is not visible to anyone.

Hope we clarified your doubt.
