In our shop, when we are ready with a process adjustment, we do the 4i check and the 'Process Comparison' window helps us with that. After the approved 4i check we can deploy the changes to production. This time, I got a change count exceeding 300 and spread all over the place. At that point the 'Process Comparison' window becomes less useful, if not useless. This has happened before when doing major overhaul on a process stretched over longer time. In these cases, instead of the compare window, it would be much more helpful to present the differences in a report, say XL or CSV. I can then filter and highlight the relevant changes and present only these in the 4i meeting. Happy coding! ---------------- Paul Sweden ... View more

If I've understood correctly, data items and collections don't have properties such as length or number of rows. OK, BP isn't a fancy object oriented language offering full scale of tools, but... I'd like to propose that at least collections should have "Row number" as a property and strings "Length", for example. Those would be handy to use in calculations or decision without first creating an action counting the number of rows. Did some GUI mockuping as well 🙂 ... View more

There are no data visualization tools to help process all the values in the table. In our tables, we normally have hundreds of rows of data and it is tedious to look through all of it without a general idea of the data we have. Hence, we would like to suggest a starting point which is to introduce simple charts and graphs into Interact.  ... View more

Hi,   As of now, the mails that are sent by Interact are only in English, even when the installation language is different (e.g. Spanish). It would be great to have the possibility to choose the language for the notifications or make it match the installation language, so those who cannot understand English can read them as well.   It would also be great to be able to edit the default email templates to add a custom page footer or company logos.   Thank you! ...

Blue Prism does not specify a port on the request to the Active Directory server, so it utilizes the default port for the LDAP protocol (389). A recent security finding has identified that applications connecting to Windows Active Directory LDAP over a non-secure port 389 are vulnerable to attacks. To mitigate and completely resolve the security finding  prior to the  mandatory Microsoft Security  Patch  due  in March 2020. In E1/E2/E3 the requests to lDAP on port 389 will be nullified after Patch in March. Application teams will need to modify their connections to a secure LDAP using port 636 This is time-sensitive matter and would like to expedite a resolution, Please support this idea. Thanks, Nagarjuna Atukuri ... View more

It would be absolutely great if we could have dynamic references in inputs and outputs for actions and functions. Basically if we can use a calculation to create a dynamic reference for a collection field for example. That way we could automatize dynamic collections. Example: instead of having the input as a static reference eg. [Collection.Field1] we can use a calculation to change that dynamically, for example increase it and loop eg. [Collection.Field] ...

Hi, I am wondering why after so long why is BluePrism doing the auto conversion of Date & Datetime to UTC. It is definitly the most annoying thing in BluePrism. It is literally frustrating to work with anything Date related in the software. Why not give the ability to deactivate this conversion that it always does? Even when your datetime is already in UTC time, it will convert it anyway, making your date so out of whack that it doesn't make sense anymore... and don't get me started on collection with date where you need to loop in the collection. You can get them converted a lot and making your process a lot harder to develop because you need to account for those instead of just doing that yourself if you need to. BluePrism should never touch any variable automatically without the dev actually doing something. using  DateTimeKind works for the first time when you output but BluePrism clears that after that point so it doesn't really matter what kind it is. Please let user do their things. I know I am not the only one having trouble with that. I saw in another company devs that were using SQL query to get the "Now()" date instead of Blueprism cause it was more reliable. That's not normal to have to do workaround like that for anything. I've been working with BluePrism since version 4 and this is by far the worse thing that has been following us since then. regards, ... View more

When retiring a schedule, control room users sometimes accidentally click the delete button as the delete button is right below the retire button. It would be beneficial to add a warning when deleting schedules to prevent accidental deletion. It would be even more beneficial to separate the delete button from the retire button as well. If at all possible a recover function would be beneficial as well. If the schedule is deleted it will take resources, time and research to create the schedule again. If at all possible, the bare minimum would be to move the button further away from the retire button or simply add a warning. ... View more

At the moment using https on the resourcePC the parameter /sslcert needs the hash value. From my perspective it will be better to use the common name (CN) of the certificate, because the CN won't change if the certificate is renewed, but the hash value will.

Situation for BP v6.9 After each release import the information of exposed processes as web service gets lost and it is necessary to manually expose the processes again. The release file should contain the information if and how a process is exposed as web service.  Similar information is already considered in release files: like Web API, SOAP Web Services, ... which reflects the consumer part of services but the provider part (expose as WS) is missing. ...

The idea is to have a Data Item exposure such that we can store and update that variable across sessions - its more like an environment variable but to which we can make updates too. This will help us in storing variables across sessions like flags, data which requires the value from the other session run that currently has to be stored in externally like in excel, notepads, etc. ...

Hi there, with the AND and OR operators currently available the following expression throws an error when a flag data item is not set. IsFlag([Flag Item]) AND [Flag Item] Returns Error: ... right-hand-value is empty. If Blue Prism would support conditional logical operators like && and || in C# repectively AndAlso and OrElse in VB.NET  the expression in this example would be valid. The evalauation of the expression would stop if IsFlag() returns False becuase the whole expression couldn't be True anyway. We could use a single decision stage only and could use this kind of expressions in choices. Currently there are two options: - always set a default value for flags - break the expression mentioned above up in two decisions and execute the second decision only if IsFlag() = True With choices this cannot be handled easily. ...

Currently, when setting an LOB value in a process design create web service, a configuration is required to set the value to the max character length of the LOB field. If this is not done, and the value is longer than the max length defined for that LOB field, the service will fail. The design tool should be enhanced to automatically truncate the value to whatever the max length is for the LOB field, so this design configuration is not always required.    ... View more
