When archiving session logs in BP it should be possible to chose another target location than file system. It should be possible to specify a target DB. The session log table takes huge amount of space and regular archiving is inevitable. Normally only very few days are kept online in Blue Prism DB. Any investigation or analysis on log data needs first to restore from file system back into DB.  The target of the restore has to be BP instance, thus may impact existing environment or new environment has to be set up. The idea is to archive session logs into another table (in another DB) instead of file system. This opens several possibilities: - DB Backup and Restore can be used (whose implementation is normally more sophistiscated than file system backups) - Table organization can be utilized (eg partitioning) - Data in this table can still be easily access and used  - Backup and Restore to/from this table is independent of and won't affect BP instances - Archived data in the table will be a snapshot at the time of archive (see below for implications) Currently the session logs (and also archived logs) have references to other DB objects like resource, process, ... Although the deletion of the referenced records is prohibited as long as the session logs are online, they can be deleted when logs are archived.  Restoring session logs may then have an incomplete view of what happened in the past since referenced resource, user and process may already been deleted or otherwise lost (eg upgrading BP into new BP instance). Therefore those references have to be resolved into their names (in addition to their IDs) before writing into archive table. ... View more

We are working on automating a few use cases through Decipher. For some of them, we don't require any manual intervention and therefore we need the Batch to bypass Data verification tab, whereas for others we need the manual intervention to be performed by the business users, and therefore the data verification tab needs to be turned on. However with the way the current configuration settings work, once we turn on the automatically skip data verify tab, the setting becomes applicable for all the batches. We would like the ability to enable/disable this setting based on the exact use case/batch as per the business requirements.  ... View more

Parent Ticket - AWD-42901 Add the ability for AFT to communicate with S3 using the native EC2 profile rather than specific keys configured in the aftservice.properties file. Ticket AWDPS-1656 has a code version available to do so by using a flag in the properties file named s3aftadapter.useDefaultProvider. This removes the need to have a system user in AWS specifically for AFT. This was originally identified as part of the SS&C Cloud Security Review. A review needs to take place to determine whether the communication protocol has been in the design up to now.  The fact that this has had to be developed by PS states it hasn’t been.  Description on the Dev ticket AWDPS-1656 :- We have an issue that occurs every time AWS make a change to their certificate chain for secure connectivity to S3.  We currently use the S3 AFT Adapter provided by base product and its approach assumes the AFT is installed on client site and is connecting remotely to S3, therefore requires all the AWS Certificate chain for S3 connectivity to be loaded into the Java Trust store. This means any time there is a change to the certificate chain we get connectivity issues, most commonly AWS make intermittent changes deep in the chain, which then manifest as intermittent connectivity issues to S3. We have had this on several occasions, once with Vitaity and very recently with LV and these result in Level 2 incidents that are challenging to diagnose and resolve. However we are deployed into AWS and the EC2 instance has a default provider chain on the machine that enables access to S3 using IAM config as AWS level, so we should just be able to utilise the machine level access privileges to talk to S3 and this will remove the fragility/risk that comes about when loading certificate chains into the Java Trust store. Moving to the EC2 level authentication also removes installation, upgrade and certificate maintenance complexity. See the following link as an outline of how the AWS Java SDK can leverage the default certificate chain. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-java/v1/developer-guide/java-dg-roles.html Steps to Recreate- Try to use AFT with S3 using the native EC2 profile fails Component - AWD|File Transfer (AFT) Affects Version - AFT 6.0 ...

Capture Creates a lot of value for creation of new PDDs and Digital workers, but how about the already delivered solution? Running a large-scale (now 5 Y old) CoE come with some documentational challenges. What if there was a "plugin" which was activated to create a PDD. Using a combination of the BP process logic and screenshots and magically created "PDD" like output. Which could be used to actually see what the robot is doing - all to avoid the problem of outdated PDD.  ... View more

When I have been working on a process or object in Studio, I usually return to it several days in a row. The same goes for processes I regularly access to check things. Every time I do so, I have to surf the UI to get to it and open it.  Wouldn't it be nice it the File menu: ...would be expanded with a new option 'Recent files' so I could click my choice, the one on top, and would be in business with my most popular process without surfing the UI? When clicked, this new option would show me a list of the ten most recently used projects and processes. ... View more

Currently we can reference (by drag and drop) only collection fields, which are set as the initial fields. It would be nice to have an option to be able to reference more easily the current field values. It's not always sensible to add initial columns for collections for various reasons. When making i.e. multi calculation stages with a lot of collection field references while being in the debug mode, not having the option to drag and drop the current field references means that everything needs to be written manually. ...

Hi, On BP panel 'Advanced Find' you'll get the results in the grid as below: The results are first sorted on column 'Page'. Unfortunately, you cannot reorder or sort the find results in any other order than presented. In my case, I'm looking for all places where a collection data item has been defined throughout a process. These data item definitions do pop up in the list as 'Collection' but you have to browse the complete list every time to get them all. Easy to miss one and time consuming.  It would be very helpful if you could click any column in the grid and the results would be sorted on the clicked column. In my case I would like to order the grid on DataType. So I'd browse to whatever DataType I'm looking for and have all data items grouped together. Hard to miss any and time saved. Happy coding, Paul ... View more

Blue Prism client/studio should be able to handle interrupted network connection. We are working in a mobile environment moving with our laptops from meeting to meeting and to the closest working area. It happens that your laptops are changing network, going into sleep/suspend mode when closed asf. When Blue Prism loses connection to application server, numerous .Net error messages are displayed (and lock each other so only killing the BP process helps). Furthermore the event log of the application server is spammed with error messages, which might cause wrong alarm in monitoring tools ... View more

The current way for providing web services has the following problems. 1. Because the endpoint is on the runtime resource side, it is necessary to make the runtime resources redundant in order to provide web services stably. This means that mechanisms such as runtime resource pools cannot be used. (Because the endpoint is not fixed.) 2. Since there is no API to enqueue, users need to prepare a mechanism similar to a queue by themselves. ("Prepare a csv file with the data you want to enqueue on it, then poll the monitoring directory", "Attach the data to an email, poll the email box", etc.") If we could set up a web service endpoint on the server side to enqueue, I think it would solve the above problem and make it easier to build and operate a data collaboration mechanism using Blue Prism. ...

Unlike some other vendors, BluePrism currently lacks the capability to 'record' interactions/flows, which could greatly increase the initial development time. While I understand it is far from trivial, I propose the following user story; process flows can be recorded on the level of VBO actions when I start a new recording within a VBO, I can give it a certain name, this will be the name of the new action during the interactions, I can toggle between the spy modes, in order to have better control on the application model. The recorded measures what actions are taken (click, keystrokes, scrolling) input parameters can be specified before starting the recording, available for later reference during the recording generic (but meaningful) names are automatically generated for data items and application model elements (e.g. button.Confirm, input.FirstName for elements)  OR during the recording, I have the ability to name spied elements and create data items in some way. on finalizing the recording, a blueprint of the process is generated in a simple, naïve way. Adding branching logic, collections, etc... is something that can be done manually during development. These are just some raw thoughts from my personal experience, remarks or additional proposals are more than welcome to enhance this idea! ... View more

Currently, when setting an LOB value in a process design create web service, a configuration is required to set the value to the max character length of the LOB field. If this is not done, and the value is longer than the max length defined for that LOB field, the service will fail. The design tool should be enhanced to automatically truncate the value to whatever the max length is for the LOB field, so this design configuration is not always required.    ... View more

Hello, In the context of robotization of a Java application of our customer who has migrated to OpenJDK , we have found that it is impossible to retrieve information from the tables of the application. Blue Prism returns us a message indicating that an overflow has occurred when trying to retrieve data to a collection. In addition to some errors of confusing origin when interacting with the application. When contacting support we have been told that Blue Prism currently does not support the use of OpenJDK. For this reason we request that you consider providing support for OpenJDK. This is not the first time this scenario has arisen in reference to OpenJDK. Thank you ... View more
