Copy of BP Internal Objects

[DarrenIsaacs]

Is there any way of creating a duplicate of the Blue Prism Internal Business Object, or least a way to open it to see how it works? I'd like to create a duplicate object in order to add additional Output Parameters.

Yes.

You can copy/ edit  internal BP VBOs but make sure that you will keep original VBOs as it is else you will be in trouble with existing VBOs.

Onece you want to VBO object Just do F11 on the action stage . Do it till you reach code stage and thats it you are done.

Hi Amit,

I've tried this on on 2 Internal BP objects and nothing happens. Essentially I'd like to create a copy of the Credentials internal BP object. One of my colleagues stated that this looks like it could be used as a Stored Procedure instead of calling from the SQL DB. If this is the case, is there a way to see this Store procedure, or where I can find it?

Thanks

You can't edit the internal objects, this is intentional, they are part of the software.

Hi Marzia,

Short answer:

• You can't and you don't do any changes to BP's native objects

Complete answer:

• Create a new object with an unique name
• Create a new page within the new object with a descriptive title
• Create a Code stage on the page, including parameters
• Open the BP code stage you want to copy
• Copy the code
• Close the BP object
• Paste the copied code into you own new code stage
• Check functionality and errors
• Save
• Ready!

Alternatively, you open the BP object and save it with 'Save As', then proceed with opening the new object and start editing it. I do not like this alternative option as it copies the complete object inclusive all pages while I assume you only want to adjust one single page.

Whatever you do, make sure to keep your object in a separate group (folder) and name it to reflect clearly whatever it does.

Hi Marzia,

If you are talking about the 'Internal - Collections' VBO, then you won't be able to edit the code or even get to see it as it is a part of the Blue Prism software itself. Like this there are other internal VBO's as well which are not there for public display such as Work Queues, Credentials, Calendars etc.

But what seems more confusing is that as per my knowledge the run modes of all these  internal VBO's are in 'Background' by default as I have used API's in background mode with the Internal - Collection VBO while other processes were running in Foreground mode so there is actually no need to change the run mode as per your use case.

If you are referring to 'Utility - Collection Manipulation' VBO, then you can create a replicant business object for it and then change the run mode manually in the 'Initialise' page of your new business object.
