Best Practice regarding Decipher and Blue Prism

[BUL_LA]

Hi everyone,

I might be asking a weird question here but we are testing Decipher IDP and the first results are very interesting but we have one major question once we will want to go live how will we connect the Blue Prism Environment to Decipher ?
I mean in the installation we ask us to create a separate Blue Prism db, and then go on. 
This means we have to use this specific Blue Prism for Decipher (as it's the one with the license) ? 
Because if we want to integrate Decipher to existing processes (which are on a separate Blue Prism db in that case) how should we operate ?

We started by playing with the Decipher VBO on the Decipher db, but this won't work on the Blue Prism db or are we missing something ?

If that is the case what are the best practices ?
As we are testing we want to be sure to take the correct decisions for later.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @BUL_LA ,

The configuration during installation is purely for license purposes. The licensing service connects to the BP server to check the license status and posts it to RabbitMQ, the Decipher server in turn collects this message before starting.

It's possible to push documents from multiple BP environments using the Decipher VBO as the Decipher server details are set by the "Create Connection" action, this can be the same in any BP environment.

However, it is recommended to have multiple Decipher environments and they should connect to the corresponding BP environment. For example a Decipher development environment should connect to a BP development environment and Decipher production to BP Production.

Where possible it's also recommended to have a 3rd environment for UAT/pre-production testing.

Does that all make sense?

Thanks
