Secure Active Directory queries using gMSAs instead of password-secured service accounts
Since 7.1 the only option for querying active directory domains that require authentication other than the account running BP Server is to provide the details of a service account in the Active Directory Domains configuration section in Sign-on settings
Our security policy requires that password-secured accounts have passwords that expire daily. This is unmanageable in 7.1 as it would require us to update the stored passwords in Blue Prism immediately after the passwords have changed
Ideally, we would be able to secure the Active Directory queries with a gMSA
Also, add an option to create gMSA user. Currently when we try to add AD user it only list/search the AD accounts, it is not searching the Managed Service account (MSA/gMSA). -- Get-ADSServiceAccount This will help to run the runtime as gMSA account.

As BP 7.2 is moved to 64bit, could you please move Java version on Data Gateway(logstash) to 64bit Java. Currently there is no option to choose latest version on Data Gateways. So please make configuration more robust for updating the version on Java. This will allow to refer any latest version of Java(64 bit).

Many corporations require a system that has SOX & MICS impacts to have strict password and security settings. One of those settings often requested but not available in Blue Prism is a "User Inactivity Timeout" option that logs the user off after X minutes of inactivity. This would apply to any user logged into the front-end of the Blue Prism application as a controller or admin, not the runtime resources. Any user that does not click on any buttons or new screens in the application would be logged off after X minutes.

Work items which are stuck in infinite loops impact Chorus BPM system performance, and in some cases system stability. This issue impacts both hosted and self-hosted clients. When we see high CPU utilisation on the application and database servers, we query the WA2 BI event table to find work items which are stuck in a loop. This reactive step allows us to identify the work items which are impacting performance but doesn't address the root cause. We could like Chorus BPM design studio to identify potential infinite loops as part of process validation. The beta process test automation framework was able to identify loops. Maybe this code could be used as the basis of a solution?

Need the ability to automatically split documents in addition to the current manual feature. With Documentation Automation integration, it seems like this should be possible. Right now, DA charges for every page submitted. sometimes a document will always have pages that are not templated, so they reject consistently, even when they always accompany other pages that are templated. See attached - this shows a current solution that uses Abbyy

Small thing but would be really nice to get an IF statement in the calculation stage. It can be time consuming to set multiple decision stages with calculation stages just to do some basic logic to set variables.

Please add a Local flag to the ToDateTime conversion function (as already exists on MakeDateTime). This would be a huge help, to get over the frustrating issues seen during BST (and presumably for installations working across multiple timezones), when you would like to for example, Defer a Work Item to a specific Date Time. eg: If I want to defer a Work Item to 9am tomorrow, whilst in BST, I have to currently do something long-winded such as break down the desired date into dd MM and YYYY, so I could use MakeDateTime (with the Local flag set to True), or build in a decision stage, to allow subtracting an hour from the time when in BST.

I believe that there could be a button to recover the user's password in the blue prism itself, even if it is through answers to security questions already pre-defined by users previously, this would make life a lot easier!

It would be great if there was a Blue Prism branded stencil for Visio in order to create business documentation like infrastructure diagrams. This could be helpful in identifying specific elements. That way we also have a very uniform type of documentation across customers. This would create some sort of good practice and make it easier to read as everyone would be accustomed to them.

At the moment using https on the resourcePC the parameter /sslcert needs the hash value. From my perspective it will be better to use the common name (CN) of the certificate, because the CN won't change if the certificate is renewed, but the hash value will. Therefore there is some maintenance work to do to use the new hash value, which can be prevented by using CN

Hi, in Interact 4.2 you create form rules (as in previous versions of Interact), however, when you create a lot of rules depending on one element it would be very useful to have some numbering/sequencing of rules instead of having an icon. Imagine that you have over 30 rules under one element and you need to find the right one and the text does not fit in the space dedicated for the rule description. This would be really very helpful! Thanks. Regards, Zdenek

We need to spy a web based application, but it uses a shadow DOM. Therefor we can't use the Browser spy mode.
Using the UI spy mode might seem like an option, but this method is considerabely slower.
I've read on the forum the method of injecting Javascript, but this option doesn't work in our case.
We have investigated the issue further and found out that a small change to the Chrome Browser extension could fix the problem.
There are two following elements in the source code of the Chrome extension which need to be changed:
· getHtmlSource.js - with case Node.ELEMENT_NODE the outerHTML is called.
· The outer HTML consists of only the 'regular' dom-elements, but not the shadow dom-elements. Could this be adjusted so that the shadow dom elements are also being serialized?
·
· main.js - in several places the getElement functions of document are used like 'getElementByTagName' etc. These functions only scan the regular dom; could they be replaced by functions that also scan the shadow-dom?

Hi, I am wondering why after so long why is BluePrism doing the auto conversion of Date & Datetime to UTC. It is definitly the most annoying thing in BluePrism. It is literally frustrating to work with anything Date related in the software. Why not give the ability to deactivate this conversion that it always does? Even when your datetime is already in UTC time, it will convert it anyway, making your date so out of whack that it doesn't make sense anymore... and don't get me started on collection with date where you need to loop in the collection. You can get them converted a lot and making your process a lot harder to develop because you need to account for those instead of just doing that yourself if you need to. BluePrism should never touch any variable automatically without the dev actually doing something. using DateTimeKind works for the first time when you output but BluePrism clears that after that point so it doesn't really matter what kind it is. Please let user do their things. I know I am not the only one having trouble with that. I saw in another company devs that were using SQL query to get the "Now()" date instead of Blueprism cause it was more reliable. That's not normal to have to do workaround like that for anything. I've been working with BluePrism since version 4 and this is by far the worse thing that has been following us since then. regards,

It will be great to add a feature for Browsers to read the "Item Value"(DOM Value) of the selected item in an HTML combo box?
Please find the example below:
I want to read the Item value(DOM Value) which is "/m/02gsvk". This will help in many scenarios where value remains same and the selected text changes according to the local language setting of the site.

The current data item does not have a dictionary type (Associative array) . A single-row collection type can be substituted in some cases, but a smooth conversion to a JSON object can be difficult.
For example, if you try to convert a Blue Prism data item to JSON using Utility - JSON::Collection to JSON , only one data item can be represented as a collection data item, so the converted JSON will also be an array type.
There are many opportunities to map Blue Prism data items to JSON data when performing WebService integration, so I think there is a great advantage to introducing a dictionary type data structure.

File Uploads Back to Interact: When we upload files from BP to Interact the file got stored into self-serve-private and create a link for us. Which isn't accessible as through webapage as it stored into self-serve-private. Proposed workaround :
Write a batch file which will run in the hub server which will synchronize the self-serve and self-serve-private.
As we have moved the files from self-serve-private to self-serve, now we have to create the url with the self-serve in the link .
And the proposed workaround is not enterprise type solution.

Hi Team , As documentation is a important part of every process journey . Documents like Technical Design , Solution design or Object design mostly contains information which we we are filling in our Blue prism database or is already a part of our .bprelease file(which is indirectly a xaml file). We can make this automated VBO which which can create a skeleton for us containing information like -
Release Details
All Process
All Objects
Credentials
Work Queue
Environment Variable
System Exception
Business Exception
Description of Processes and Object
Published Process
and many others like this , which can be again looked and corrected by developers if needed . This skeleton(draft) of files using this VBO will save a hell lot of time for any developer.
