The Chrome plugin has a known limitation in that it opens a TCP connection on port 31924 locally and doesn't dispose of the connection once the process finishes execution: http://portal.blueprism.com/customer-support/support-center#/path/1319712802   While I do appreciate the reasoning given in the Support Center article that this issue should only appear within the testing phase, it nevertheless has a big impact on project delivery, causing unnecessary slowdowns during the testing phase. [Additionally, it means terminal servers cannot be used at all, since one user/robot can block Chrome for everyone, even unintentionally] I would like for the TCP port to be closed once process execution is completed (within the Cleanup phase). Alternatively, being able to configure the port used could be an acceptable workaround. ... View more

Currently everything resets whenever your close a window or navigate around in Blue Prism. It would be great if windows remembered what I resized them to. It would be great if folders remembered which ones I had expanded and which ones I had collapsed. It would be great if the session log remembered which columns I had added and how much space I had given each one. You probably get the idea 🙂 It would be great if Blue Prism, on a per user basis, remembers our user interface settings, so we don't have to spend time constantly adjusting to our preferences. ...

It would be great if the Navigate and Write stages in the Object Studio could be updated to work with newer responsive webdesigns where various fields might depend on filling out data in other fields.  For instance, when using a write stage to fill out a form, the "Send" button on the form will not be activated if it is listening for changes in the form itself, as the Write stage does not update the website, leaving the button inactive because the site thinks nothing has changed. This same behavior occurs when using the build-in "Click" functionality of the navigate stage, forcing developers to resort to using Global Mouse Clicks and Global Send Keys when automating modern browsers.  This behavior further complicates issues when multiple systems, be they browsers or others (like SAP), are used and constantly forces us developers to keep the active system activated to ensure that Send Keys and Global Mouse Click can be used. One website that shows the issue is https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/tools/currencyconverter - if you use a write stage to write to the currency converter, the currency conversion does not work. The issue have been present in many of the previous versions in Blue Prism and I've tested it in 6.10 as well where it's still present. Furthermore, I've tested it in both Chrome (with the newest extention) as well as in Internet Explorer. ... View more

Problem Statement: Currently we have a number of use cases which require Python scripts to complete specific NLE activity or to support with the management of files such as: encrypting/ decrypting with specific PGP keys converting protected PDF documents to unprotected, editable and readable documents for OCR extraction managing multiple PDF documents such as deleting pages, merging documents These scripts are currently utilised as standalone py files which are triggered via Blue Prism; but not within Blue Prism. Proposed Solution: Include Python as a supported language within Blue Prism code stages Provide Python as an installable supporting application alongside core Blue Prism product installer Provide the ability to run 'pip install' to obtain dependencies for scripts all within Blue Prism. ...

A way to disable scheduler without killing all current sessions. E.g. Sending a command to BP server: "Finish all running executions and do NOT fire new schedules in next 6 hours" It would allow to perform server maintenance, without breaking Blue Prism platform (given company has 2+ application servers running). ...

I would like to know what's in release file. E.g. when importing release, offer a (non mandatory) button "what's in release". Clicking it should display release file content - list of objects, processes, variables, etc., with option to un-tick what's not needed. Current way release import works is literally "black box" - it just imports everything. It's too basic for multi-teams use. ... View more

Blue Prism has frequent releases with very little gap between releases. To add to this agony the releases are not backward compatible. BP 6.7 client cannot talk with a BP 6.8 App/DB Server, it is also vice versa - BP 6.8 client cannot talk with a BP 6.7 App/DB Server. While we can understand a compatibility issue between BP 5 and BP 6, compatibility issues within a major release (BP 6.6,6.7 with 6.8) exposes poor product architecture/design. Request to consider the following: 1. Have a fixed release pattern - twice a year with 6 months  gap in between gives ample time for clients to plan/prepare 2. Redesign the product so that there is backward compatibility. Without these two, clients will not be able to keep themselves abreast with the product innovations eventually leading to moving off to other RPA tools. Uploading BP 6 Release dates for reference of frequency. ... View more

Can we create a mobile app where we can see all our process , robots , status and can Monitor the process from mobile phone can be really cool.Administrators can now supervise their entire RPA environment from anywhere, at any time, using an iOS- or Android-based device. Complete visibility into your RPA environment, even when you’re not at your desk or in the office .Control room to trigger real-time alerts on the performance of your Robots or provide critical scheduling and licensing information. You can also view detailed at-a-glance dashboards to quickly understand exactly what’s happening in your RPA environment as it happens.!! ... View more

Process and objects can be restricted from studio via access restrictions between different roles. But on the same note, Queues cannot be restricted between groups/users. Its directly exposed in Control room for all users who have access to the BP instance. The impact is that, when we have shared environment, there is ask to get the access restricted for Queue for complaint reasons as the item tag can have any unique values between roles. Just because we are unable to do it, it leads to create  a separate BP Database  which in turn leads to additional maintenance, cost and housekeeping etc., It would be great if the feature can be introduced to have the restriction in place for queues as well. Thanks in advance ... View more

Currently, when form submissions are raised by a Digital Worker to a human, there is no way to track their status(i.e. is it still in the user's inbox, or was it deleted?), as we don't know the submission ID that was assigned. An easy solution would be to add an output to the 'Raise Submission' API call and return the 'Submission ID' showing in Interact. This would enable the RPA developer to build logic to verify the integrity of the system and raise new submissions to users if they inadvertently delete them. ... View more

I would like to suggest the implementation of a built-in code scanning tool within Blue Prism. Currently, we face challenges in identifying bugs or vulnerabilities in our Blue Prism projects, as there is no dedicated code scanning tool available. While we attempted to integrate with SonarQube, it did not yield satisfactory results. The primary issue we encountered with SonarQube is its treatment of the .bprelease files as XML, which leads to inaccurate analysis results. The tool primarily focuses on detecting code smells, which are not applicable or relevant to our specific requirements. Therefore, I kindly request the development team to consider incorporating a native code scanning tool into Blue Prism which can scan code stages like C#, Visual Basic, JavaScript . This tool would be tailored to analyze Blue Prism's unique code structure and provide comprehensive feedback on potential bugs, vulnerabilities, and any other code-related issues specific to Blue Prism processes. By having a dedicated code scanning tool within Blue Prism, we can streamline our code review process, enhance the overall quality of our projects, and ensure compliance with security standards. This tool would greatly contribute to maintaining the integrity and reliability of Blue Prism solutions. Thank you for considering this suggestion, and I look forward to the possibility of a built-in code scanning tool being introduced in Blue Prism. ... View more
