Create connection configuration file

Anonymous — Sat, 09 Jun 2018 02:19:00 GMT

Hi, does someone knows if BP Connections are saved to a config file that can be copied across different machines so when installing BP in a new PC, we can use that config file and connections are loaded from there? Thanks! JP

Yes, see C:\ProgramData\Blue…

Hi,

You have connection definitions at "C:\ProgramData\Blue Prism Limited\Automate V3\Automate.config".

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Well, I'm afraid not.

The Support Center says: https://portal.blueprism.com/customer-support/support-center#/path/Installation-Platform/Configuration/Connections/1203325332/Can-I-edit-the-automate-config-file.htm

"The automate.config file is not designed to be altered manually and is primarily used to store connection information for the machine.".

You can find the installation Directory Path at the registry key: InstallDir of \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Blue Prism Limited\Automate
but I couldn't fine the config file path.
I guess the pass is hard coded on the program.
