Has anyone identified issues when using Blue Prism version 6.2?

[Digital_WorkerB]

I am attempting to begin building an automation sequence for a client however they are only able to use Blueprism version 6.2 right now. Does anyone know of installing, coding, scheduling, or running issues with this version? Can you also link where the issue has been discussed/resolved?

1.6.2 has scheduler instability. if a schedule is modified then only after initiating a run using 'run now' option scheduler will be able to initiate subsequent runs
2.Poor performance with connection type WCF with message encryption with windows authentication and transport encryption with windows authentication better to use .Net remoting secure.
3.Excel VBO has issues which is resolved in http://portal.blueprism.com/customer-support/support-center#/path/1301681772 
4. UI Automation spying has issues working with internet explorer. it just freeze 
5.resources will wrongly report as offline to application server where it actually is available making the schedulers unable to create and trigger sessions and sometimes leave sessions in pending state (this is there even with later versions but in 6.2 this happens more often)

for additional known issues and bugs you can check the release notes of 6.3.0 version. which you can find from the blue prism portal>Products>previous releases.

Great answer Jerin.

I don't think I would use 6.2 in Production.  There have been a number of improvements to Blue Prism and the VBO's.
