Set Next stage is something highly used menu item. Why don't we move it to title bar somewhere, because current UI we have a lot of empty space there to put important option directly on title and header area. Every time performing right click, find option, scroll to bottom and there the most useful button SetNextStage is. So hope this is taken under consideration . ... View more

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. ... View more

I think it would be useful to be able to validate the schema of work queue items before they get added to a work queue. My thought is an XSD validation string or or some such mechanism could be associated with the work queue. The Add to Queue action could use it to validate that the data being added to the queue is valid before proceeding. The advantage of this is that processes that use the work queue would be able to safely assume that any data entered into the queue is valid. Further, it would mean that exceptions due to invalid data would happen at the time that data is being added to the queue, as opposed to when the data is being read from the queue. On a practical level, this may not happen often since users should be testing what data is being added into queues before going live with it. However, this would still be a gain because it would be one less thing that you have to think about while building processes. ... View more

In the CSV export generated from the control room for the queue content, we don't get any column that tells the state of the item and whether the item is in the Pending / Exception / Completed state. Of course, there are some workarounds to segregate items as per the state but the blue prism should be having a specific column for this in the CSV export. Also, this will give businesses a better clarity on queue content to understand  Pending / Exception / Completed items and eliminate manual efforts in data manipulation. ... View more

Ability to see if any BP clients are connected to BP server, if they have any objects opened etc. We can already see if there is any activity from resource PCs, but there is no information about normal BP clients. For example, if we need to reboot BP server, we need to know if anybody is currently working on something, has opened objects etc As I would assume a developer working on a process would probably loose some work during a server reboot. A system workaround I had to use is relatively simple, but internal BP functionality with more detailed information would be very useful. "netstat -a 1 | findstr 8199" - simple enough to see if anything is connected to the 8199 port ... View more

Hello, It would be really useful if we could find references to specific Web API actions, I know we can view references to the Web API itself but we don't have a similar view for a individual action. At the moment, if the API itself has a breaking change and requires some re-work of the Web API in Blue Prism, you have to manually go through each reference to that Web API to see what is impacted by the change. ...

It seems machines (runtime resources & workplaces) are always identified by their host names, regardless of system settings.  In our case our settings were:  register using short names, communicate using FQDN However, the registration considered short names and FQDN and caused issues after DNS name change that made manual DB updates necessary. The machines were verified based on their short names in BPAResource and Blue Prism crashed because of FQDN mismatch. The only reason to chose 'register using short names' is to avoid long FQDN names in Control. Therefore: 1. add settings for short/FQDN in Control that is independent on communication and registration 2. always register and evaluate FQDN and never short names only ... View more

After fetching credential values from credential manager, a developer can easily view the password by using simple calculate stage. We are giving access to developers to utilize them for their automation process design. If a developer really want to view the password, he/she can easily view it with this loophole.

There should be a checkbox and in the App Modeller where you can hold the currently selected attributes.  Example: Once you have decided the best attributes to describe elements for a given application, normally you would then just use those same attributes for a lot of elements that get modelled for that application. This would speed up Dev time when creating objects. It would also mean that Devs would spend longer finding the best attributes to define elements for a given app as they can just use the same attributes for all. Another possibility is if you can click on an element and then use a 'Format Painter' to then select all the same attributes on other elements. This could be an even better solution as then you can have a preferred set of attributes for the different spying modes. ... View more

Well written use case works as an invaluable guidebook to gain learning experience. For a student, citizen developer, or a beginner in the RPA field, they are always looking for a guide or use cases that can help them in gaining RPA experience that can help them in a new job or improve there skills. For RPA professional or CoE, they would probably like to know how different industries, departments are leveraging automation, how the BP platform is helping organizations scale. Can we build a repository of use cases that can help anyone in the automation community ? ... View more

As of Blue Prism Hub 4.6.0, having multiple users with the same email is not supported and is explicitly prevented by Blue Prism Hub with an error being thrown. There are valid circumstances under which multiple user accounts may have the same email, for example, a user having one account for non-admin access, and one for admin access. We do this today with the Blue Prism Application itself without issue, but are unable to integrate Hub, Auth server, and thus API into this approach due to this limitation preventing use of different accounts with the same email. In addition, Active Directory does not treat the mail attribute as unique or a primary identifier, so multiple users can have the same email without issue. If this is merely an arbitrary limitation the idea would be that the check is removed or configurable. If Blue Prism uses it determine uniqueness or for lookup, the idea would then be to use something else that should be truly unique, such as the username. ... View more

As we all see while using any Exception stage we can mark "What type of Exception it is" and "What this Exception says\details"  .  It will be great if we also can include another field there saying "Exception Resolution Steps" --> Which are simple steps which a developer will add in order to tell what needs to be done when this exception occurs.  Example - A System Exception with detail saying "Restart this application when this exception occurs"  this will be great idea as it can get logged into the database\queues also . Further it can be used by control room Teams to better support a particular project or can be a helpful hand if a new developer joining the team looks at that project or object exception -->He\She exactly knows now what is needed to be done ! ...
