I have noticed that for some reason ‘enddatetime’ column in the BPASession table is NULL for some records. Shouldn't ‘enddatetime’ column be always set to some value at the application level whenever the process stopped/completed/terminated or is pending for some reason? A robot execution without an end date is definitely creating confusion, a process/robot execution has to come to an end, irrespective if its happy path or unhappy path. As per the BPAStatus table, the process execution should have one of the status mentioned in the BPAStatus during the lifecycle of the process execution. A execution/session not having an enddate while it is running make sense, but if I don't see an instance of the execution/session in control room as running/pending, then the expectation is that the session has attended some status, whether it completed/terminated/stopped/exception there should be an enddate, that's gives clarity, not having enddate gives an impression that the session/execution still has life. ...

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. ... View more

It should be nice that a Runtime Resource block any attemp for a new connection WHEN during a schedule execution. What I see in many cases, there is GAP between a process and another in a schedule. This GAP between process in a schedule allows to any other process to run in a runtime resource  when this is being used by a schedule. A schedule process can FAIL or stay in PENDING state if there is another season created in the runtime resource. In many cases the PENDING state is never executed. ... View more

​I would like to be able to see the number of successful cases worked and the number of exceptions raised against each session in the control room. This would make it easier to monitor from an Admin point of view - rather than having to check each queue for new additions, or have emails on completion telling me how many of each has been done, I can just look in the control room, see it's completed and the summary of cases worked. ...

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?) ... View more

related to following idea, which also provide further details: https://community.blueprism.com/ideas/viewidea?IdeationKey=685838f9-1ad8-4ed9-b293-cc951d97904e The idea is to change the system wide setting for browser extension port assignment to be per object/process. It should be possible to set default behavior to dynamically assigned ports but tell BP to use standard port when attaching to running browser instance.  Using standard ports when attaching to browser could be new default behavior (since it is obvious dynamic ports won't work). ...

We have had multiple occasions where customer needs to transfer data from environment to another environment. Currently we are able export credentials and workqueues but on a name and a structure level only meaning that the contents are not transferred. When customer has 1000 or more credentials and workqueues where history etc needs to be transferred, a simple data transfer operation that should not take more than 15 minutes is suddenly a two month project or even longer since every credential needs to be manually re-entered, processes to be created to export workqueue items contents to excel file or something similar. Blue Prism already has AES256 encrypt/decrypt possibilities so I would assume it should not be too much of a hassle to add encrypt/decrypt into the process of exporting packages, for example making it only possible to export/import to an environment with same Encryption Schemas ...

Can we add an action under Studio for 'move to a folder' that can be enable a developer to move process/objects created and available under one folder to another folder ? This will save time and effort to drag and drop process/object from one folder to another. ... View more

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. ... View more

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 ! ... View more

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. ... View more
