For huge collections, data items having large data in them when the process studio invokes any object and passes the items to object studio it makes a copy of that object in the memory space. This slows down processes where the requirement is to edit the original passed object (collection or data item) after processing it with business logic on object studio. There should be an option (in start/end stage) to pass the address reference only of large data items/collections so that object is not copied again in a different memory space. Pass by object vs pass by reference in .net Use case : process huge datasets like collection having million rows, or huge image editing. Eg: 2 copies of collection is made which consumes lot of memory is slow.
process studio
START>Action stage (call object 1, input as collection 1, output to collection1)>END
Object studio
START>CODE(takes input from collection1, data processing,output to collection2)>END(return collection2)

I think it would be useful to show the call stack when debugging processes, similar to the Call Stack view in Visual Studio. Perhaps a pop out window next to the session log viewer, and have it continually update as the debugging session moves along. This would be useful when you need to jump around a bit while debugging, and it would also help out with folks who run into stack exceptions.

Can we give a feature to clone a particular completed queue item as once the item is completed there is approx no way we can retry\clone it from control room from the same data . We do can retry any exception item which is perfect but it will be great if we can clone our completed item in Control room itself as it can be a great help while testing !

It would be helpful to have a button of Copying the evaluated text to clipboard . Sometimes we want to copy the evaluated expression and paste it in some different screen. ( pic attached )

Release XML exported by new versions are not backward compatible with older versions It takes a lot of time to rearrange the various stages in the whole process which is very annoying Perhaps BluePrism team should create an official DX VBO or tool to fix this issue

It would be very interesting if you could make input and output of a javascript function, in the same way it is done with the .net code. This would give us another more friendly option to solve problems I honestly have not seen this option regards

Ever had to guarantee to Audit that every stage executed is logged so anyone could trace what the robot executed in case of incidents? We know that developers can edit code to not log stages and execute it on debug mode without saving and nothing will be registered, neither the changes in the code, nor the stages executed in debug mode... So... how to justify this? We wouldn't need if we had a configuration for that! It would be great to be able to overwrite any configuration of Stage Logging (code or resource) on an Environment/Instance level. This shouldn't be difficult to implement either. The benefit would be to guarantee stage logging in sensitive environments where every execution of stages needs to be registered for Audit and regulative institutes purposes.

It would be great to have an option to sort all the packages created by date. Over a long duration there are many packages created , and in the absence of a type and search option it becomes cumbersome to find the required package

In Control Room, when right click at the queue view, there is the option "Export current view as report...", which generates a CSV file with the queue view.
I would like to request the option to change the list separator when generating the report. By dafault the report is generated with comma separator. I think there should be the option to use system default (or other list separators) to generate this report.

I am using Credentials in different processes and sometimes even calculating the credential name and then getting the data. The "Find reference" button only works when the credential name is inputted directly into the "Get Credential" action with quotation marks but not when a data item containing the name is inputted in the action. I would like the "Find reference" to be able to handle when the credential name is stored in a data item and not direcly in the "get credential" action.

With the growing amount of central components (BP V7) multiple Blue Prism environments are getting very complex and expensive. Apart from automating MS-Windows GUI there is no functional reason to stay entirely with MS-Windows products. Costs could be reduced by migrating some components to open source (database, operating system, application servers, ...) In addition with dynamic autoscaling of services ( e.g. microservices and kubernetes) needed resources can become demand driven. The upgrade process could be simplyfied with this approach, mayby even enabling zero downtime upgrades?)

Hi Team, I am looking to automate Peer Review process for our team and one of the thing which comes to my mind is to do it through Blue prism DB or XML files of Processes and object. IN every review we try and find below points : Validation error count Unused pages Data Item I would be like we will run this BP automation and above will be done without involving other team member to review it. Above are the few elements which I highlighted there are more things we will e doing in peer review and exploring it as well. is there any way we can get the above information through DB

日本語後述 ☺ Need your idea and insight to generate meeting invitations for specific group or person. There is no need to check available time slot, just sending invitations at certain time slots. I believe it can be done by comprehensive windows spy mode, but Is there any VBO or ready solution available? -------------------------------- Blue Prism から所定のユーザーあるいはグループに対してミーティング招集を行う簡便な方法があるでしょうか?受信者側の空き状況を勘案する必要はなく、所定の時間で一方的に送り付けるだけで構いません。 アウトルック自体を Windows アプリケーションとしてスパイして実行させれば可能かとは思いますが、Mail のような VBO で処理できないかな、という意図です。

The following actions will result in exceptions in the code stage, so please improve. ・MS Excel VBO-Get Worksheet To Collection ・MS Excel VBO-Get Worksheet Range As Collection ・MS Excel VBO-Get Worksheet As Collection === ご担当者様 MS Excel VBOのコレクション取得の上記アクションで、下記エラーが表示されることがあります。 「エラー:内部:コードステージによって例外がスローされたため、コードステージを実行できませんでした。値をNullにすることはできません。パラメーター名s」 元となるExcelファイルに値は入っており、同じデータでロボットを動かしても、正常に動作することもあれば、上記エラーが表示されることもあります。 (ロボット動作中にクリップボードが書き換えらるということも考えにくい状況です。) VBOの改良をお願いいたします。

It has come to light that pooled resources don't always appear in name order by default in Control Room - this would be a help if this could be included in later versions.

Currently the in-built "Work Queues" object only has actions that allow the latest attempt of a queue item to be retrieved. There is currently no in-built way to report on the individual case retries, how long they each took and the exception/status details for each. Including these would better reflect the bot's utilisation time and may help in highlighting and troubleshooting different exceptions.

When copying a page P from process A to process B all references on page P to other pages are lost (although the references may point to other previously copied pages). Presumably the references would not be lost if multiple pages (P and the referenced pages) could be copied at the same time. Could this be added to BP?

Wireframer as a define and design phase tool provides significant value to delivery teams, but a short fall of the tool is a lack of connectedness and integration to Blue Prism studio design, specifically into existing Blue Prism process and object templates. To TRULY see the marketed value of a tool that enables automation delivery teams to "rapidly deploy" a process being automated, there needs to be an integration component that quickly enables developers to with minimal manipulation import a wireframe into Blue Prism, and have it be ingested by a Blue Prism or a client organization's structured best practices template. This would provide real value for existing organizations in the Blue Prism ALM tool ecosystem, and highlight the continuity of Blue Prism's strategy, and governance of the end-to-end platform.

would like a GUI update to the stages on the tool bar to make them differentiated more easily. Think the layout is pretty painful to scan your eyes over and even something very small like some delineating lines would go a long way to making the stages more readable/differentiable and easier to use.

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.
