some findings on how task order is defined by BP can be found in my comment below In BP client Control tab, Schedules are ordered by their names and tasks according to their creation. Schedules can be arranged by structured names. The order of Tasks is defined by when they have been created that makes organizing Schedules unnecessary difficult over time. eg: Schedule: (numbers show the logical order) - Login (1.) - Process (2.) - Logout (3.) Now when adding a second process to be executed after the existing one it would look like: Schedule: - Login (1.) - Process (2.) - Logout (4.) - Process2 (3.) It would be better to order the Tasks by their names so order can be easily amended as needed by prefixes in their names. ... View more

Problem statement: ​if there is a change in the application layout as part of an upgrade the RPA process which was built on the previous version will fail. Now it takes a lot of effort to identify the changes happened to the elements that are identified previously.. idea: Application modeler should have a built in functionality to compare previously captured element and new element and highlight the differences option to Calibrate the previous version of elements with introduced changes. ...

In Blue Prism v6.9, renaming an action that is used in one or several processes, makes the processes have the error "Missing action" and the I/O fields on the process side are cleared, when choosing the renamed action. It would be great if renaming an action would also update it in each process that it is used in, as well as keeping any data items/collections in the I/O fields of the action (on the process side of the action). This is to reduce the manual labour of renaming an action ... View more

Currently Blue Prism doesn't seem too sleek when it comes to navigating the application. It feels "stuttery", and I suspect that this is due to how the graphics of the application is handled behind the scenes. Whether it is being caused by having to talk to BP-server constantly, or running single-threaded I don't know.  My suggestion is simple - Take a page out of the game developers book, and implement a separate GUI that runs on its own thread regardless of what is running in the core of Blue Prism, such that our GUI is responsive at all times. This is probably not a small task, as it would alter the way the application is built from the core and up. But it would help increase the quality of the product I think vs. your competitors. ...

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.

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.

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
