In a multilingual company, colleagues also want to develop in multiple languages. This is not easily possible in 7.1.1.
Problem:
In the current BluePrism version 7.1.1, the language can be set, but not the format of date/time/numbers, etc. -> This leads to problems in the processes, if different languages are set. According to support this is not possible.
The German developer expects in the process a format "dd.MM.yy" & the English speaking "dd/MM/yy". So far it is only possible to work with several time consuming BluePrism Calculations.
Proposed Solution:
It would be easier if the infrastructure can be set to a uniform format. This is for all users (no matter which language).

Small thing but would be really nice to get an IF statement in the calculation stage. It can be time consuming to set multiple decision stages with calculation stages just to do some basic logic to set variables.

Dear Blueprism,
I am working as a process controller, not able to clone the calendar. Could you please add the cloning calendar option in the system tab. It would be better helpful. System tab -> System -> Calendar.
Best Regards,

Depending on the screenshot and the resolution of the computer, the screenshot may be too small. Adding an option to zoom it helps when the user needs to censor items on screen. Lots of customers still use screens that are 1366x768 and zoom helps in those scenarios Also, it would be great to have the ability to disconnect arrows and reconnect them. Including the option to delete decision points without deleting the corresponding branches.

Currently when an element within application modeller is cut and pasted in any node of the Element tree, a new Element ID is generated, invalidating the previous Element ID and all references pointing towards it. When that happens, the following error is displayed by the validation tool: Page: ABC Stage: XYZ Type: Error Action: Validate Description: Failed to find referenced application element in row 1. Element ID is 87188755-42bf-4433-bcaf-33a4f152aeff Repairable: No The only way to fix this is to manually re-point the element within all the affected stage properties. Additionally, this also invalidates the application modeller in all of the historical versions of the affected Object(s) in version history. Given that this can potentially mean several hours of re-work, not to mention serious frustration, please change this to work as follows: - When copying and pasting an element within Application Modeller and the pasted Element ID already exists, generate a new one - When cutting and pasting an element within Application Modeller, retain the pasted one This has been tested on the following versions: 6.4.2 6.4.4 6.8.0

Hi, can you improve Interact so that it supports logical AND/OR conditions for multiple field values? Let me give you an example: 1. the form has got three elements - Combo box, Field1, Field2 2. if combo box value is Yes, Field1 and Field2 are hidden 3. if combo box has a value No and Field1 value is NOT EMPTY, SHOW Field2 This is not possible to achieve with the current features. Regards, Zdenek

When archiving session logs in BP it should be possible to chose another target location than file system. It should be possible to specify a target DB. The session log table takes huge amount of space and regular archiving is inevitable. Normally only very few days are kept online in Blue Prism DB. Any investigation or analysis on log data needs first to restore from file system back into DB. The target of the restore has to be BP instance, thus may impact existing environment or new environment has to be set up. The idea is to archive session logs into another table (in another DB) instead of file system. This opens several possibilities: - DB Backup and Restore can be used (whose implementation is normally more sophistiscated than file system backups) - Table organization can be utilized (eg partitioning) - Data in this table can still be easily access and used - Backup and Restore to/from this table is independent of and won't affect BP instances - Archived data in the table will be a snapshot at the time of archive (see below for implications) Currently the session logs (and also archived logs) have references to other DB objects like resource, process, ... Although the deletion of the referenced records is prohibited as long as the session logs are online, they can be deleted when logs are archived. Restoring session logs may then have an incomplete view of what happened in the past since referenced resource, user and process may already been deleted or otherwise lost (eg upgrading BP into new BP instance). Therefore those references have to be resolved into their names (in addition to their IDs) before writing into archive table.

A question that always comes up from our Control Room operators is "Who's paused Queue xyz?" Why isn't this something which is written to the Audit Log? Would it be possible to add this to the Audit Log, or even allow us to configure what gets written to the Audit Log?

The application modeller accepts that different elements in the application modeller of a given BO have the same name. For maintainability purposes, this should be forbidden.

Keeping up-to-date with the latest version is Blue Prism is sensible. However, this does cost time, money and effort on enterprises. Being able to apply patches over existing installations would be beneficial. For instance, the with Google Chrome's frequent release pattern it would be great to apply a patch that accommodates the changes to allow integration rather than going through the full upgrade process.

Need to include a preview that states what will happen (i.e. 27 new UNIT - WRKT transactions will be created with the following data fields ACCT, SSNO, AMT, etc.) Each row will create new transaction (Case or Transaction) in Chorus BPM and they will execute the related process flow. This utility will enable sunset of some RIP feeds and enable rapid ingestion of data into the system that is currently locked in Excel spreadsheets.

Parent Ticket - AWD-42901
Add the ability for AFT to communicate with S3 using the native EC2 profile rather than specific keys configured in the aftservice.properties file. Ticket AWDPS-1656 has a code version available to do so by using a flag in the properties file named s3aftadapter.useDefaultProvider. This removes the need to have a system user in AWS specifically for AFT. This was originally identified as part of the SS&C Cloud Security Review.
A review needs to take place to determine whether the communication protocol has been in the design up to now. The fact that this has had to be developed by PS states it hasn’t been. Description on the Dev ticket AWDPS-1656 :-
We have an issue that occurs every time AWS make a change to their certificate chain for secure connectivity to S3. We currently use the S3 AFT Adapter provided by base product and its approach assumes the AFT is installed on client site and is connecting remotely to S3, therefore requires all the AWS Certificate chain for S3 connectivity to be loaded into the Java Trust store.
This means any time there is a change to the certificate chain we get connectivity issues, most commonly AWS make intermittent changes deep in the chain, which then manifest as intermittent connectivity issues to S3.
We have had this on several occasions, once with Vitaity and very recently with LV and these result in Level 2 incidents that are challenging to diagnose and resolve.
However we are deployed into AWS and the EC2 instance has a default provider chain on the machine that enables access to S3 using IAM config as AWS level, so we should just be able to utilise the machine level access privileges to talk to S3 and this will remove the fragility/risk that comes about when loading certificate chains into the Java Trust store.
Moving to the EC2 level authentication also removes installation, upgrade and certificate maintenance complexity.
See the following link as an outline of how the AWS Java SDK can leverage the default certificate chain.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-java/v1/developer-guide/java-dg-roles.html
Steps to Recreate- Try to use AFT with S3 using the native EC2 profile fails
