Issues with imported objects/processes

michaeloneil — Tue, 02 Nov 2021 12:29:00 GMT

Hi all

I'm wondering if anyone has had an issue when importing a release to blueprism 6.10 or higher where the elements/actions on each page are layered instead of showing the flow? Each page seems to have just lumped everything in the centre of the screen and its going to make it a slow process untangling everything on my processes. Does anyone know a quick solution to this? example of the issue below.

Hi Michael - that issue is normally associated with importing a release from a higher version into a lower version. The xy coordinate structure in the XML was changed, and releases using the new format could not be interpreted by older versions, the result being the 'everything concentrated at 0,0' effect you have shown.

Hi John

That was my thought at first but the import is from 6.6 and into version 7 so im not sure what has happened. It seems only be affecting my objects rather than the processes but a couple of processes are the same.

Hmm, that does sound odd, particularly that it's not every process and every object that was imported, which is normally the case with this issue. Maybe compare the XML of an affected process/object with one that imported without a problem. The older (pre 6.4) style looks like this
<displayx>15</displayx>
<displayy>-105</displayy>
<displaywidth>60</displaywidth>

<displayheight>30</displayheight>

And the newer format is like this
<display x="-195" y="-105" w="150" h="90" />
