In Blue Prism v6.9, renaming an action that is used in one or several processes, makes the processes have the error "Missing action" and the I/O fields on the process side are cleared, when choosing the renamed action. It would be great if renaming an action would also update it in each process that it is used in, as well as keeping any data items/collections in the I/O fields of the action (on the process side of the action). This is to reduce the manual labour of renaming an action

As of now, we can set up auto force retry on exception items by increasing the retry count on queue settings. But this will force retry all exception items. I see a possibility to add some intelligence in the tool to only force retry specific exception items and not all of them. The user should have 2 options to enter keywords for Exception Type & Exception Details. So users need to configure keywords. So if BP encounters an exception item and it has a keyword match present in Exception Details then only it will force retry automatically. If there is no match in a keyword from what user set and what BP throw then there will be no auto force retry.

We have a process that uses the AWD REST API to index a large amount of data that is scraped from a PDF by a bot. We have found that this large post of Indexing often results in data not being successfully mapped to BI. After speaking with Customer Care, there is no obvious reason why the Mapper doesn't capture all indexing. This missing data causes confusion with downstream reporting as the CSD has the data but the report does not. The only way to correct the mapping is to delete the indexed value and index it with the same data moments later which can result in the in reps spending a significant amount of time manually correcting the data so the reporting is correct.
It would be nice if there was a nightly batch cycle that could reconcile the BI LOB tables against the AWD Indexing to ensure the BI tables contain the correct most recent indexing, as clients do not have access to the Live LOB Data and not all fields that are configured for BI are mapped to the AWDBE table for clients to build a custom solution.

Now in times when remote working became more common, the network code of BP should be stable and should handle errors. When switching networks, going into suspend/wake up, it can happen BP gets out of sync and an indefinite number of error messages are displayed with the only option to force kill the BP process in task manager. When working via VPN with limited bandwidth BP may run out of sync when refreshing Control view or even when logging into BP. After this error, .Net connection is in 'faulted state' that might need computer restart to resolve This happened in 6.4. I know there have been some improvements done in later versions.

It would be great to have a visual indicator on a queue name / schedule name to denote that the queue is paused and schedule is running respectively. If any small icon is present to indicate the above things , at a glance we would be able to see if any queue in the list is paused or how any schedules are runnign right now

Hi there, I'd like to suggest an idea to improve BP Studio. It is just about the visibility of texts in the BP Process/Object Studio.
If you see the attached screenshot, the selected row’s values’ fonts don’t have enough visibility.
Especially, when we’re providing training sessions to our partners/customers, people who sit down further from the screen are hard/unable to see the texts.
I attached a ppt file to show more cases. Please check the attachment.
Thank you. Seungjei. seungjei.jang@blueprism.kr from Blue Prism Korea

Our schedulers are starting at 05:30 AM every day. We come in the office at 08:30 AM. Sometimes a resource was not available at 05:30 for several reasons and the scheduler has not started. Becasuse we are living in the time of knowing everything at the time of when it happens via push messages on our phone, we would like to have this option also for the control room and the resources. If there can be an app via your smartphone (or another solution) that sends you a push messages when a resource is down for longer than an amount of time or for no reason, that would be helpful. Maybe this could be done for the proces status also? When one is in status of warning or teminated.

Hello guys,. Since our digital workers are hosted on vmware, it's alway a pain to find a way to set a specific screen resolution for the bot session. A common objet to achieve this would be very helpful. Thanks !

In the current Blue Prism architecture, each resource PC will try to establish a connection to every other resource PC. This communication is not needed for standard Blue Prism functionality (scheduling, ad-hoc process runs) and is used only for some feature (eg. resource pools). However, this communication creates spurious network traffic and most importantly raises flags with security teams monitoring network chatter. As the communication is not strictly necessary, it would be useful to be able to disable it completely. I assume there would also be a small, but measurable performance increase across the platform. Note: I do not wish to disable interactive client -> resource PC connections, as these are useful in case the RPA controller needs to "drag 'n' drop" processess.

This is a request to Blue Prism team if there is any Blocker issue please fix it in a patch release and within 10 -15 days of recent release. Otherwise it's difficult to change code everywhere as an work around. I have attached an image here just for reference, These kind of issues must be addressed at the earliest otherwise how automation will move forward without this one. Like this there are lot of known issues that needs to be fixed asap rather than us waiting for more than 2-3 months.

We are using BluePrism v6.4.2 currently and as per our observation we found that Event Logs from Event viewer has same Event ID i.e. 0(zero) for different level of error levels(Critical,Error, Warnings and information). It would be really helpful if the Event ID are different for different log level to configure easily for monitoring tools like BMC Patrol, Splunk and other monitoring tools to set-up automated alerts

Team is it possible to retry a session or copy a session. For example if we start a process and due to some reason it's terminated we can just start from there. It can contain a new session ID not the same though. It will be helpful at least we can copy the parameters, what I feel while testing giving Startup parameters every time is very tough. I dont know if it is possible or not but just gave some idea.

Currently we can reference (by drag and drop) only collection fields, which are set as the initial fields. It would be nice to have an option to be able to reference more easily the current field values. It's not always sensible to add initial columns for collections for various reasons. When making i.e. multi calculation stages with a lot of collection field references while being in the debug mode, not having the option to drag and drop the current field references means that everything needs to be written manually.

When expanding various windows in the product there are many windows which don't auto fit to occupy the space they have available. A small menu update would make some of the tooling a lot more friendly to use. For example read/write/navigate stages with multiple stages and panels, when navigating long named variables or long/wide application modellor trees makes the clumped menus very awkward and you need to expand them. Having to do this window operation so frequently though is a killer and makes using these menus a total pain when you have to adjust screen menu sizes so frequently, almost as standard when doing build work

To workaround a slower interaction with a Web Application in Blue Prism we have had to use Java Script injection. We would like and enhancement in BluePRism to be able to retrieve function execution return values, or code injection return values as outputs within an object.
Currently, you can only put the code “in”, and not get anything back out from a webpage, it would be useful without a workaround, if there was some functionality implemented for this. See details from dev team:
As we are trying to interact with elements on a webpage which will return values, such as the contents of the ‘innerHTML’ values of a field, the only current way to do this effectively is to do:
<element>.select();
Then sending a global “<{CTRL}C>{CTRL}”, and then extracting the value from the clipboard.
As this is not always 100% reliable, what it would be good to be able to do, is when invoking a method In JS, to be able to get the return values, so being able to inject a method such as:
Function getText()
Var x = <selector>.innerHTML
if ( x === “”) {
return “Blank Value”
} else {
return x
}
And being able to have x stored in a data variable that is output from the webpage directly into Blue Prism. As it’s possible to invoke the method / inject the javascript into the page, surely it must be possible to get a return value just as easily?

My "idea" or actually my request to you at Blue Prism is to please get back the possibility from earlier version to let us customize the Interact 4.3 landing page. The current one has nice colors since I am from Sweden and also seems like a theme IKEA could use. But we would like the possibility to as we did in earlier version put our Branding-style on it.

It would be really helpful to support Java language. Being a Java based team for years we have a lot of web services, utility classes and applications built on java, we have challenges to integrate existing Web service and java code. Indeed time consuming to convert it to C# code to integrate SOAP or REST with Blue Prism.
