Blue Prism interaction with Oracle Virtual Box (Windows)

[PedroGouveia]

Good evening, I've been trying to make a blue prism object interact with a Oracle Virtual Box, but I can't attach to the windows, is there any way to attach to the virtual box and interact with the windows inside the Virtual Box?

Thank you

We can not interact  with an target application which is inside the virtual box directly with any of the UI spy modes(Windows, AA, Browser, UI Automation) as it is becomes thin client application. Possible solutions could be installing the BP itself on Virtual Box or use the region mode(surface automation) to .interact with the application.

Good evening, is surface automation native to Blue Prism? Or do i need a third party program?

Thank you for the quick answer

Surface automation is an approach to interact with thin client applications or for screens of target application where any of the UI spy modes does not help.

Please refer the below guides from portal.
