CICD Solution

[VivekGoel]

I Would love BP to provide an additional tool to manage the CICD. I tried/propose to build a web/windows app based solution for it which has/should have the below features:

1- One time configuration for all environments (Dev,SIT,UAT,Prod).
2- A login option in line with the user's access to BP (planned)
3- As soon as you login, it shows you dropdown /list view of all the processes present in different environments.
4- Once you select any process in any environment: it gives you 2 options :
      a) Elevate to next Environment (Dev-->SIT, SIT-->UAT, UAT-->PROD). Once you click, all the dependencies are automatically moved/created in the next environment.
      b) Demote/Degrade to previous Environment/Disable Process
5- It also should provide an option to create/manage the credentials from this app

There can be endless possibilities around this one stop CICD model as the admin team doesn't have to login to BP to move the processes and dependencies across environments

Thoughts for discussion open.

Hi Vivek, 

Thanks for submitting your idea, the team really like it and think it will be a very useful feature. I’ve updated the status to Under Consideration and you will see updates here as it progresses through the process.

Best Regards,

Hello @VivekGoel,

The idea that you have created very much encapsulates the purpose of the Process Repository which has been introduced as one of the key components of the Blue Prism Next Gen product set. Today, Process Repo provides all of the benefits that you mention above with the exception of credential management, which still has to be done in the Design Studio, but over time this too will migrate over to the web UI.

As a result of this update, I've aligned your idea to the Process Repository product category and I'm going to mark it as Delivered.

I hope this makes sense - let me know if you have any questions by way of comments below.

Regards,

Rob
