Open JDK is OSS alternative to Oracle and might be used in future more often because of Oracle license strategy. Although Open JDK should be equivalent to Oracle JDK it is still an independent mirror of Oracle JDK and features could differ to some degree. One difference we noticed right away is the absence of WindowsAccessBridge DLL in Windows directories. Although this DLL is located in JRE directory, and might be found following Java Path. Verification of Blue Prism against Open JDK would be appreciated. Or at least to search DLL in JRE directory.

Per Microcrosotf recommendation that Azure AD join should be the first choice for new devices, we have deployed new machines to our RPA team, Microsoft indicates that SSO to on-premise resources (like Blue Prism) can still authenticate. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/devices/plan-device-deployment#azure-ad-join These machines are currently not able to SSO into BluePrism [Sign in usng ActiveDirectory button is not present], after working with the BP support team it was indicated that BluePrism is looking for the domain once is executed and not finding the Azure AD machine in the domain. type -AssemblyName System.DirectoryServices $domain=[System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory.Domain]::GetComputerDomain() Write-Host "Current Domain: $($domain.Name)" We need the BP app to be more flexible as more and more companies are moving towards Azure AD joined machines.

Need the ability to identify the template assigned to the Composition and change the template within the Modify option on an existing letter as needed. Within the new Chorus Communication product when you add a Composition (letter) you are given the option to select the Template, this option is not available when you try to Modify the Composition. This option would be beneficial if the client chooses to change the font or layout of the Composition.

Currently you place variables within content and the information is filled in through LOB fields or variables entered within the Presentation. The client would like to be prompted to complete certain variables (fields) once the letter is presented for view. Word Developer offers some ability but nothing forced or the ability for it interact so it takes you to the next spot for entry.

Currently the print file copy is available in Communications however; the ability to apply a watermark is not available.
Currently in Encorr, you are able to print a ‘file copy’ of the document that was saved with a watermark of ‘File Copy’ on it.
Communications does not provide a mechanism to selectively print a watermarked 'file copy' of a letter as EnCorr does. To address the shortcoming, the client duplicates the letter makes modifications within the body of the shareholder or dealer letter. It is clumsy as there is no watermark capability & client would prefer the functionality be restored.

It would be great if there was a Blue Prism branded stencil for Visio in order to create business documentation like infrastructure diagrams. This could be helpful in identifying specific elements. That way we also have a very uniform type of documentation across customers. This would create some sort of good practice and make it easier to read as everyone would be accustomed to them.

Hyperlinks: There is no ability to add hyperlinks on an Interact form.
The URL will need to be displayed in a textbox on the form. The user would then copy the URL and paste into a web browser.
We will need to use this method when uploading files back to an Interact user.
Not appropriate for the user (business) to follow this below solution to open a link:
Proposed Solution: Copy and paste the link. Next release of Interact might resolve this issue.

Blue Prism's built-in version control system for Processes and objects is a great feature to allow comparison of code versions and updates. One aspect of it that's not great, however, is rollback. While it's possible to rollback a process or object to a previous version by opening the old version in comparison view, exporting it and then re-importing it, it's not easy to find and it's not intuitive. I'd like to see a straightforward mechanism for version rollback. It could perhaps be a simple right-click option when you have a process or object version selected in the history view called 'Make active version' or something similar. An indicator could then be added to the history view to enable easy identification of which version is currently exposed to the control room.

Many VBOs appear to be unnecessarily set to a run mode of "exclusive". If any of these VBOs are used in a process or object that is exposed as an API, we will be limited to a single instance at any given time on that resource. In order for us to advance our callable process/object capabilities, we need the flexibility to run multiple instances on a single machine. The following is a list of VBOs that have an "Exclusive" run mode:
Email - POP3/SMTP
MS Excel VBO
MS Excel VBO - Extended
MS Outlook Email VBO
MS Outlook Email VBO 6.10.4
MS Word VBO
System - Active Directory
Utility - Encryption
Utility - HTTP
Utility - JSON
Utility - Numeric Operations
Utility - Network
Utility - Screen Capture
Webservices - OAuth2.0
Webservices - REST
I think the MS VBOs could at least be reduced to "Foreground" run mode(as they might temporarily require exclusive use of those applications), but all of the others should be changed to "Background" as there is no discernable reason that multiple instances couldn't be running at the same time. If we need to make them more exclusive, that should be our choice in our local environments, but there's no need to be so restrictive as a platform default setting.

Right now, When adding DLLs to an object, you can either set your relative path to the dll and it will look for the file in the Blue Prism install folder, or you can specify a full path to a file. I would find it useful to be able to set a path in the database as a second place for Blue Prism to find these dlls and not require to place dlls directly into Blue Prism install directory. This will help keeping blue Prism install directory clean and easy to manage over time. Also it will not require enterprise environments to repackage and update a new version of Blue Prism to be sent out for every dll to be added for object usage..

Option to read/write fields of a collection with dynamic field names i.e; [CollectionName.[FieldName]] where field name can be changed using calc stages depending on the requirement while the collection is being looped.
Currently there's an option where field name and index as well is an input using utility - collection manipulation. The above is useful when the collection is used in a loop.

When using multiple cards, Search, View Relationship, etc, all cards will shut down when you complete processing an item in TA2000 Desktop by using End F11. This is an issue when you have one or more Search cards up that contains results for an unrelated transaction.
The only card that should close to allow the transaction to move to the next step within the workflow is the item that has been 'Processed'. All other cards should remain where they've been placed to on your monitor /workspace.

Worklist card filtering/ search - Enhance functionality for worklist card by adding filtering/search option and allow for dynamic filtering/searching by multiple criteria (example - user would be able to configure and filter work list by Worktype /Account Number/ Broker /Queue)
Similar logic could then be incorporated into Get Work - were user would be able to define preference on what the next piece of work they are getting should be (still within the constrains of what user is coded for). Users often find it more productive to work on same type of work .

Isolation and portability: Docker containers provide a lightweight and isolated runtime environment for applications. Running Blue Prism in a Docker container allows you to encapsulate the application and its dependencies, making it easier to manage and deploy across different environments.
Reproducible environments: Docker containers allow you to create consistent and reproducible environments for running Blue Prism. By packaging the application and its dependencies into a Docker image, you can ensure that the exact same environment is used during development, testing, and production.
Scalability and resource utilization: Docker containers provide efficient resource utilization and scalability. You can run multiple Blue Prism containers simultaneously, allowing for parallel execution of processes and optimizing resource allocation. Containers can be easily scaled up or down based on the workload, ensuring optimal utilization of computing resources.
Version control and rollbacks: Docker enables version control of container images. Each image can be tagged and versioned, making it easier to manage different versions of Blue Prism. This facilitates easy rollbacks to previous versions in case of issues or the need to revert to a stable state.
Simplified deployment and updates: Docker simplifies the deployment process for Blue Prism. With a Docker image, you can easily distribute the application to different environments, minimizing the manual setup and configuration steps.
Resource optimization: Docker allows for efficient resource allocation by running multiple containers on a single host machine. This reduces hardware costs and optimizes resource utilization.
Collaboration and development efficiency: Docker containers provide a consistent and reproducible environment, making it easier for teams to collaborate on developing Blue Prism processes. Developers can share containerized development environments, ensuring that everyone is working in the same setup. This streamlines the development and testing process, leading to increased efficiency and productivity.We are looking seek guidance from their support or community forums for best practices and specific instructions on running Blue Prism in Docker containers.
