1. isn't Hub based control room based on Blue Prism API so BP API has this feature but Hub based control room does not have?

Hi @Neel1 

I’m away until next week, I’ve responded to your questions below.

1. Next Gen is still far for us and many of customer I believe.
   • Automation Orchestrator (powered by Next Gen) unlocks the digital worker orchestration capabilities to Blue Prism Enterprise, without the need to migrate to Next Gen (I.e. stay with Blue Prism Enterprise).
   • I would encourage you to look at Automation Orchestrator (powered by Next Gen), which is available today.
2. Isn't Hub Control Room based on Blue Prism API so BP API has this feature, but Hub Control Room does not have?
   • Yes, by design the Hub Control Room uses the same BPE API that we make available for external consumption too.  That was a deliberate choice I was involved with to enforce us to provide a really good API for external consumption.
   • You are correct, the Blue Prism API does support the ability to create a session, add startup properties and run a session.
   • There is not the capability within the Hub Control Room User Interface to manually run an ad-hoc session (the APIs are available, the UI is not in that product)
3. Shall I assume from your reply that this feature will not be added in hub-based control room in future?   
   • Any forward looking guidance comes with the usual roadmap disclaimer.
     1.       We publish our forward-looking guidance through the roadmap, roughly every 6 months.  The last presentation, we did not state we would be incorporating the ability to run ad-hoc sessions in Hub Control Room.
   • Notes:
     1.       Any changes that went into Hub Control Room require installation and update.
     2.       Whereas, Automation Orchestrator (powered by Next Gen), gives you access to Next Gen Control Center, which is web-based and automatically updated roughly every two weeks and already includes the ability to manually run ad-hoc RPA Processes.  Updates to Control Center do not require updates to digital workers or Blue Prism Enterprise.
