Currently, you can store the encryption key as a file on the Application Server. When you have multiple Application Servers connecting to the same Blue Prism DB, each Application Server needs to share the same encryption key. The only feasible way to do this is sharing the server configuration lines in the Automate.config file. It would nice to have at least a feature in the Key Store tab of BPServer.exe to import the saved key files.

It is possible to search for the processes or objects to which the object is referred. Conversely, is it possible to find the processes or objects that the process is referring to? When doing maintenance work on a process, I overlooked the fact that the process was referring to objects that I hadn't anticipated before working on it. I want to see a accurate list of objects used before I do any maintenance on the process.

Hope the DB can show the application interacted with as a separate field. Today it is contained within the XML that will need to be parsed but if the DB can show the type such as browser based or mainframe or Windows etc., based on app modeller options and the application parameters can be fields and all of this can be show in a table mapping to the object which can be linked with a process so that we can a process and all the applications that the process interacts with

Instead of dragging and drop processes on Resource or vice versa, it would save lot of time if right click on resource display 5 most recent processes ran and can be able to start.

Hello and thank you for your attention. At my company, "import" is not allowed. We need to convert BP 6.8 pages to BP 6.0 without using Import tool. I know when you copy a page, it's actually a .xlm file, as below shows.
And when this same simple Page is done in BP 6.8 or 6.0, there are some synthax differences.
BP 6.8 syntax vs BP 6.0 syntax
For example, "displayX, dirsplayY and displayZ" from BP 6.0 are equivalent to "display x, display Y, display Z" in BP 6.8.
This messes up when copying BP 6.8 stages to BP 6.0, the stages are transferred correctly linked, but coordinates are messed.
Example copied from BP 6.8
Copied to BP 6.0
Would it be possible to please have a tool to convert syntax? I know IMPORT and EXPORT tools already might do this, but, as I said, they are not allowed at my site. Thank you very much for your help in this question. Regards Eduardo

Developers can open, edit and run codes with stage logging disabled in debug mode and leave no traceability. In development environment, this does not represent any risks, but in environments connected with live data as pre-prod or as emergency environment as it is called where I work, this represents a risk. A developer can open a code, edit it to her/his will, execute in debug mode with logging disabled, then close the code without saving. The described steps would allow a developer to influence a process outcome with live data with no traceability, and that should be seen as a vulnerability of the application even though it can be prevented via administrative procedures and privileges limitations, but Blue Prism itself states to expose the code to live data for final adjustments before going fully live, where people will understand that it is "ok" to have live data and a developer making final adjustments. Organizations acknowledging this risk, will resort to administrative efforts to cover it as applying 4-eyes principle for interventions that includes live data, but then, if there was a way to create this guarantee of traceability, it wouldn't prevent the impact, but it would enable organizations to find out who was responsible for such actions, and as it would be in place, would be one less reason for someone to think about creating harm. Conclusion, the idea is: create a way to force stage logging in debug mode in the Blue Prism instance/environment, independent from code configuration.

Some time we need to take release from upper version(6.8) and import it in lower version (6.5). At this time everything mess up after importing due to XML format change. There should be an option for version choosing when we will take the Release.

Sometimes it is useful to use the numbers 1 and 0 instead of True and False. For example, one just needs to add up all variables to know how many are set True. Sadly, a direct convertion of the data formats is not supported by Blue Prism. The calculation 'ToNumber(True)' creates an error. Doing it by hand would be possible, but time consuming and could probably be implemented in a faster way. In this context, the implementation of the signum function sgn(.) would be handy too.

Hey Blue Prism Team & Community, unfortunatly there is no way to authenticate at a Webservice with the currently logged in user using Blue Prisms WebAPI as the support told me. You have to store your credentials in the credentials section and select them directly from the WebAPI. There is no way to dynamically change the user to the currently logged in user. This could be easily enabled by adding a Checkbox or an option to the WebAPI common authentication types which sets "UseDefaultCredentials=true" at the outgoing request. For anyone else comming up with the same question my simply advice would be to not to use Blue Prisms WebAPI feature and better build up your own request using the HTTP Utility VBO.

This is regarding information mentioned in Support Center | Blue Prism Portal currently this command runs slow and produces report, could we build out of box dashboard on the top of this command which will display processes/objects containing errors. If this is not possible we should at least need a filter in this command to scan only required objects/processes to make it faster.

Many times when calling a service, the wsdl used to configure the client call and the eventual endpoint for the call are different. In these cases, we should be able to override the endpoint. In Blue Prism, the endpoint in the wsdl used in configuring the SOAP Web Service is what is used and there is no way to change it. We would like an option to Override the endpoint on a SOAP Web Service.

Hi,
it would be good to have a possibility to generate an HTML link which would point a user directly into the form in his/her Inbox or actually opened the form in browser directly for the user without a need to go through login page. Thanks.

Is Blue Prism considering adding Attended automation capabilities? Some competitors are offering both attended and unattended within their RPA solutions, and I feel that adding that to BP would be valuable.

I have a business case where business wants to use Interact for stocking purposes. In this case, they want to be able to update availability of an item and would like to do it through a Interact form. The issue is, they do not want the update to be applied the same day it is submitted nor any date in the past. Currently, the date field will block previous dates and block future dates. However, in no configuration I've been able to configures does Interact allow you to block the current days date from being select. I'm currently having to add this logic into the process layer which works but seems to have been an extra step that didn't need to be developed in this manner.
I would like to see the ability to block the current days date from being select similar to the "past dates" and "future dates" option on the form.

We have just started creating Templates on our BP Servers but we find that we cannot lock down those templates so the developers are unable to change them. When deselecting the "Edit Process" or "Edit Business Object" options in Access Rights, the "Save As" option is greyed out in the menu. Having the "Save As" option enabled when deselecting the aforementioned options in Access Rights would be beneficial for us. Failing that, having a read-only option with "Save As" enabled would also suffice.

Currently when Blue Prism DB is created via command line it is not possible to specify authentication type (SSO, named users, mixed) and mixed more is assumed automatically, which might not be what is needed or even working. There is also a huge difference between pure SSO authentication in Blue Prism and mixed mode, where authentication is delegated to SQL DB. This needs additional user management (AD + SQL Server), which is not even possible for us because of clearly defined user create & management processes, responsibilities and effort allocation.

Hi Team, When Blue Prism releases major or minor we get email notification. Similarly, when new add-ons/extras or VBOs are added outside of the product. Can we get a notification? Just a example, we are using WorkQueue Report, JAB, MAPIE, whenever there's any new version of these comes available in the portal. Its good to get an alert for the customers to check for the new updates. Its very difficult for each developer or developer lead to check the portal daily to check for updates. Let me know if this makes sense.

The multi-team functionality within Blue Prism works well when there are individual development teams and a centralised support team. It would be great if this multi-team functionality was extended to include functionality such as schedules, queues and credentials. This will allow a RPA team within a department to have both a development and support team, with restricted access to the processes, schedules, credentials that team develop and support.
