Exception Screen Capture Functionality

Does exception Screen Capture Functionality takes screenshot of the currently active window or it take screenshot at that instance when exception occurs and we could  then know Exception details causing process termination?

It will capture the desktop at the exception point. Often this does not yield anything useful because the screenshot appears 'normal', but equally it can be a life-saver when trying to hunt down an intermittent problem, eg an unexpected Windows update pop-up disrupting the process. https://portal.blueprism.com/system/files/2018-01/Guide%20to%20Exception%20Screen%20Capture%20Functionality.pdf

Hi John, What would be the solution for ScreenShot of Desktop for users who are using BP version below 6??

You can attach to explorer.exe, spy the desktop itself and capture a region as a data item and then write the data item out using a code stage, something like InputImage.Save(DestinationFilePath).   A more complex option is to use a code stage to programmatically capture a screenshot.

We have implemented our own way of capturing system exceptions using screenprints in Version 4.2, has proved a life saver on several occasions
