Utility for Code Updates with Administrative Privileges

Utility for Code Updates with Administrative Privileges.

Scenario: There is a requirement for a utility that can update parameters and data values for various objects, specifically utility objects. This can be achieved by providing inputs such as:

- Type: Process/Object

- Page name or action name

- Stage name > parameter name and its corresponding value

- Parameter/data item name and its corresponding value, and so on.

Problem Statement: Frequently, the browsers used for 90% of automation processes undergo updates, which are beyond Blue Prism's control. These updates often lead to the disruption of automation processes. For instance, the default settings of Edge and Chrome browsers in version 117 disable Active Accessibility  rendering the command line parameters used in the application modeler or passed through the Navigate stage ineffective. In large-scale enterprise organizations where hundreds of automations are running concurrently, making code changes to each automation simultaneously becomes a nearly impossible task.

This situation highlights the need for Blue Prism to develop a solution that addresses such scenarios, providing a competitive edge in the automation platform industry. If Blue Prism were to offer a feature allowing inputs like process name, object name, parameter name, and its value to be supplied, this capability could be executed by platform administrators or individuals with administrative rights. They would be able to directly make changes in a production environment, efficiently managing automation processes in response to browser updates and other similar challenges.
