Currently, the fact that a process is exposed as a web service is not a part of the release package. As such, it needs to be changed manually on import to a new environment. It would be better if exposure status was stored within the .bprelease file itself, in the same way the "process published" flag is stored within the release. ... View more

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

Hello, I requested this a year back as an enhancement but no action was taken. Basically, there are several Blue Prism customers that would like to see added support for using resource pools together with Login Agent. This would save a lot of time and trouble in scheduling of automations, including better utilization of licenses. Currently, it is only possible to use resource pools in a smart way by not using login agent, i.e. to allow the Windows Account to have access to all systems with Single Sign-On (SSO). The other option to get around this is to build custom scheduling which Blue Prism would not support as part of the license agreement. In case someone solved this in another good way, please write a comment here. Thanks ... View more

Some of our clients request that their scheduled jobs respect daylight savings time changes. At the moment, we have to shift them manually, but if Blue Prism could make that easier - for example, with a field in the schedule where we can input daylight savings dates for a year+ and have schedules automatically shift accordingly, that would be nice. I realise you can achieve this with multiple schedules, but with many jobs, less schedules is cleaner. Thanks. ... View more

​The BP API dialog box builds html pages for each object selected from the dropdown.  This is based on object contents.  I suggest BP builds an API website (perhaps hosted on the local server) with foldering to match the Object studio folder structure, and have it automatically update documentation upon save/import of objects. Including referenced components in API (or allowing further customization) would be a plus, but a self-updating API website would be very useful especially for larger/federated teams. ... View more

Please add support for Public Holidays in Germany that can be used by the Blue Prism Calendar and Scheduler. There are moving public holidays in german calendar which have to be adjusted every year. This can lead to unwanted or unexpected results when the setting of the holidays went wrong or even was forgotten. ... View more

We need a convenient way to get a report about the utilization of our resources (virtual machines). The report should guide us in the planning of an optimized resource utilization. For example it can give us the time where the most machines are working in parallel (peek) and the time where are the most machines free and lying around (lazy time). With the report we should be able to plan the schedules in a more balanced way. ... View more

Need to add the feature to allow people to add special weekend days as working days in the calendar. Currently, you can only set the recurring working days and holidays in the calendar.  Every year the Chinese government will issue the special arrangements for weekends adjacent to some public holidays like the National Day and Labour Day. For those holidays, the adjacent weekends will become working days in exchange for a longer continuous holiday afterwards. It is called 调休 in China.  For instance, in 2019, the National Holiday is Oct 1-7, while Sept 29 (Sunday) and Oct 12 (Saturday) are working days. Missing this feature makes it difficult to manage working days for companies in China. As a workaround, they may need to manage two calendars to calculate the correct working days. ... View more

Would be great if BP can upgrade the Code Stage action with IntelliSense/AutoComplete features which is available in Visual Studio/Excel. It'll be helpful to check on the related Functions, Classes, syntax and more. It will ease out the developers work to create their customized objects if required. ... View more

It would be nice to have more options for scheduling. Accounting requires different schedules for different working days in the month ie. workday 2 or 4. Currently, I can only schedule on the first or last working day of the month. ... View more

Hi, it would be good if the schedule functionality could be amended so that there is no need to wait for all machines to finish a task before moving onto the next task. I believe scheduling would be improved if once any machine has completed a task that machine will move onto the next task. ... View more

Currently the Blue Prism Application server cannot be load balanced (use F5 for example). We are required to have 1 server hot and the second cold (service stopped). We should be able to run hot/hot, that is both application servers active at the same time.​ ... View more

We are trying to monitor for work queue items that take longer than they should (e.g. when the application a process is interacting with is hanging). I see a "locktime" (and "lockid") column in the BPAWorkQueueItem table even, but it does not seem to be used. I suggest the time that an item is locked for working be recorded here or somewhere similar. This will facilitate monitoring how long an item has been worked on, even before it is finished, in case it doesn't finish in a timely manner. We looked into using loadtime but that seems to be when the current batch of items was loaded as opposed to when a specific item was picked up by a Get Next Item stage, and worktime seems to be only recorded at the end of an item's work time so it cannot help in the moment. ...

​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. ​ ... View more
