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.

Today, Every time a new Process or Object is imported into the Environment via AutomateC is automatically added to the Default Folder and does not maintain the Source Directory Structure. However, this is retained when importing via a .bprelease file. This is due to the <process-group> and <object-group> tags present in the bprelease file. Including this in the process/object xml will allow Users to import into an established folder structure.

Currently, the import switch in AutomateC does not put in an Edit Summary while importing into an Environment. The option to put in this customized text will allow users to manage command line imports much more effectively.

Currently, an element spied with Browser Mode has a "Get Bounds" option in the data you can read via a Read stage. The coordinates returned seem to be relative to the parent element of the element spied, not relative to the Internet window or to the Windows screen. This is not helpful information. It would be helpful if we had a "Get Screen Bounds" option to read (like the option available with an element spied in UI mode). I have a website where I need to click a dropdown menu to display the dropdown options. Using "Click" in a Navigate stage with the Browser Mode-spied element doesn't open the dropdown menu, so I need to initiate a Global Mouse Click instead. However, I can't initiate a Global Mouse Click without providing the coordinates to click. I can't determine the coordinates to click without reading useful element bounds from the Browser Mode-spied element. Hence, my recommendation for more useful bounds data.

Dears,
It will be good if users has a chance to change the priority of cases in a queue from the control room. Currently as we do not have this feature, we are always forced to do a debug run to achieve the necessary results. Thanks,
Bharadwaj.

Dynamic Forms - Unable to invoke a presentation flow on click of a custom button on dynamic form I think this is more of a backlog item than an issue. We're trying to figure out if there's a way to invoke a different presentation flow on click of a custom button on dynamic form.
Business Scenario: For example, we're trying to setup Pension for a customer and we do have different presentation flows which take care of each of the details capturing i.e., first presentation flow to capture Personal info, second presentation flow to capture Risk Details, third to capture Quote details and so on. Towards the end, we would like to show a summary of what all have been captured in the previous presentation flows (dynamic forms) and provide an Edit button at each section for the CSR to be able to go back to the relevant presentation flow for these specific section to be edited. Edit button, here would be a custom button and we would like to understand how this can be achieved using dynamic forms.

The option to pin data items so their values remain on screen while the process runs would be great. Maybe a ribbon somewhere could contain these so they're always visible. Having to pause a process then potentially change pages and or scroll to find the current value of a data item is wasted time. The ribbon could be able to be pinned so it could be closed when not needed.

While doing some testing in Beta I set my letters to Deferred to print later as needed. As I made changes I found I don't need to print them all and would like the option to Delete them. I feel this would be helpful in Prod as well. If a new automated letter gets generated and then an error or a change is needed in the letter, you would have the option to Delete these letters versus printing and worrying one my go out in error.

Create utiilty to enable import of an excel (*.csv) formatted spreadsheet from Processor workspace. UX screen will need to enable mapping of columns to Chorus BPM data fields with options to include/exclude column. 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.

Auto-delete the collections attached to queue items if the completion/exception date is > x months Make this part of the queue settings so it can be setup for each queue differently. This approach allows you to track actual worked items without storing personal data. Update dbo.BPAWorkQueueItem set data = NULL where finished is not Null AND loaded < DATEADD(month, -2, GETDATE());

Within Blue Prism I currently can't:
verify whether the expected number of cases from the Business Case match with the actual number of cases
create charts on hours/FTE saved
I propose a new table with project information: manual handling time per case, expected number of cases per year, expected avg run time,... The new table shouldn't be on BP Process level, but on the same level as the Schedules are organized. I.e. a project containing multiple BP processes (e.g. login, load queue, process, reporting, logout). This table, in combination with existing session, queue, tasks.... tables can give insight in expected vs actual outcomes.

System > System > Calendar When you want to make a slightly different calendar of an already existing calendar then you currently have to re-enter all the holidays in the newly created calendar. Ideally, next to new, save, delete, and reference, a new button would appear to "clone" the selected calendar, and allow a name change of the clone.

Description- Change the level of the 'error' level log message that appears in the logs whenever a document is deleted successfully so that it is only visible for traces. This has the potential to fill up log files if mass deletions occur. Client needs to delete images regularly/on-mass thus this issue will bloat the log files significantly if not addressed.
Steps to Recreate- Delete any source, review log files
Component - AWD|File Transfer (AFT) Affects Version - AFT 6.0 Client - AXA HK The details of the ‘change the level of the error level log’ is misleading, the issue/requirement is actually as per my comments:
Error - The message “WARNING: unable to delete, return code = 1” gets written whether a source is deleted or not.
Description - This error is logged every time there is an AFT delete during datapurge,
This reports a failure and a return code of 1 however the file is deleted, so the Warning is misleading.
(If the file is not deleted this same error is also produced)
This is a GDPR regulatory concern as it means the success of deletion of the file is unconfirmed.

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.
