Hello Neeraj,

Did you enable the Auto backup option?

Trying to see if we can recover the last auto saved XML.

BP stores all auto backups in the BPAProcessBackup table.

If you have access to DB please try to grab XML from this DB table and see if it helps.

Hi Neeraj,

If you have the access to the database, copy the XML and paste it in some notepad file with .XML format and you can reimport the object after executing the following query:

SELECT [eventdatetime]
      ,[sNarrative]
      ,[gTgtProcID]
      ,[comments]
      ,[EditSummary]
      ,[oldXML]
      ,[newXML]
  FROM [blueprism].[dbo].[BPAAuditEvents] INNER JOIN [blueprism].[dbo].[BPAProcess] 
  ON [blueprism].[dbo].[BPAAuditEvents].gTgtProcID = [blueprism].[dbo].[BPAProcess].processid
  WHERE [newXML] IS NOT NULL AND [blueprism].[dbo].[BPAProcess].name = 'Order System - Enter Order'
  ORDER BY [eventdatetime] DESC

Replace the <YOUR PROCESS NAME> attribute with the name of the process which you can see in the 'BPAProcess' table for which you need the XML. Here the top most record will give you your desired XML value from the [newXML] column

Hope it helps you out and if my solution resolves your query, then please mark it as the 'Best Answer' so that the others members in the community having similar problem statement can track the answer easily in future
