Would it be possible for new versions of BluePrism to connect to older version BP servers? I do understand why old version would not be able to connect to new server, but the other way around should be very possible and with multiple environments, where production is usually upgraded the last I believe the ability of new version to connect to older server would be incredibly helpful.

Using CDOC, we need the ability to request and resubmit a previously completed communications document using the same recipient block. Allow Communications to automatically resend the document that was originally sent or mailed to the recipient after XX number of days based on logic that is built within the Process Model. More importantly, if the original document was edited before being created in Communications (ie. Insert Content) we want those edits to be included in any additional attempts. Currently, if we try to automate a 2nd delivery of a document, Communications will send the document, but any edits that were made to the original document from the first attempt are not being captured. (See attached screen shots) We would like Communications to function like Encorr did in terms of sending a copy of the original document, including any edits that were made.

We have encountered a number of instances where a process scheduled was being left with Pending status in Control Room for unknown reason. It will be really good if Blue Prism can detect this and will have a logic to automatically fail it so there will be no down robot due to unprocessed session in queue. That will save a lot of support need and will give ease to the robot owner knowing that the robot will always perform. This is very important specially for robots that are running 24/7.

Would be great to have access to create code blocks in process level, this to skip all the hassle of creating a new object find all the dlls etc just to build some logic and then call the object from a process. if the code block was reachable from both levels you could easily build small unique blocks for a single process/purpose, and not litter the object level with several custom code blocks.

Currently the remove buttons are still shown in read only tables. They are disabled and thus not working, so technically that is correct - but it is still irritating to end users of the platform. Read Only Tables should thus not display the remove buttons at all, which also increases the usable screen space.

If BPASession table is defragmented, then literally an hour later it is fragmented back by 40% or more.
The reason for this behavior is that the table has a clustered index on the sessionid field, which has a unique identifier type
When a new row is added, a unique GUID is generated for it, since it is not sequential, then the insertion occurs not at the “end”, but at the “center” of the table with a very expensive splitting operation.
According to MS SQL algorithms, page splitting occurs as follows:
A new page (8Kb) is allocated and a half of the primary is copied to it, then a new line is inserted on the primary page. On average, adding a new line to BPASession results in copying / moving 15 “old” lines. Which leads to strong fragmentation.
There are three ways of how to resolve this:
- Generate a new GUID, not by the NEWID () function, but by the NEWSEQUENTIALID () function, which creates sequential GUIDs.
- move the cluster index from the BPASession.sessionid column to the BPASession.sessionnumber column of type INT IDENTITY (1,1)
- move the cluster primary key from the BPASession.sessionid column to the BPASession.sessionnumber column

Using Communications to send emails, I need the ability to auto-populate multiple CC recipients rather than only being able to auto-populate the recipient and one CC Recipient. In the manually process I can only add additional CC recipients from the document delivery screen but cannot store or capture those recipients in the process. With automated emails I can only send multiple emails to include more that one CC Recipient.

Hi Team, We have 60+ Process created and each process has average of 10 to 15 environment variables, which is going to nearly 600+ Environment variables created. The challenges we are facing is searching the required environment variables to update values. As there are many Env. Var. created, we see that, slowness in scrolling to required variable. This we are facing for 60+ Process, if we cross 100+ process, it will be tedious to serach the required Env. variable. So, is it possible to allow developer to create a folder for the respective process, under that, he/she can create environment variables with respect to that process. So for 60 process, we will end up in creating 60 folders, under that we can have 'n' number of Env. variables. This will be easy to search the variable, fast accessing and will be well organized. Please let me know, if this can be implemented in all version of BP (atleast starting from 6.8.0). I have attached reference screenshot of control room, same way, if you could implement for Environment variables also.

Currently any changes to the Application modeler are not an audited event, and any modifications to elements (adding, deleting, modifying, etc.) need to be recorded manually as a separate action on the developer. This can prove very troublesome when trying to debug an error with an Object, as well as a high risk from a Disaster Recovery perspective (unable to see which version had which changes done in order to roll back to the correct version). Additionally, enforcing recording these changes manually adds a lot of extra work on the developers, skewing any development timeline significantly. As the Application model is clearly recorded within the Object XMl (AppDef node), this information could be used to add to the audit log automatically, showing: - Element name - Element Id - Attributes And what were the changes done.

I would suggest Blue prism to have one common Spy mode or default Spy mode for all the browser with all enhanced feature. So that it is easy to switch between browser. As of now HTML mode has more feature as compare to Browser mode. But we are mostly using Browser mode. I have written it multiple time.

It would be a great addition if it where possible to see the changes between processes/objects that are part of a release in the Release Manager Windows. Currently, there is no way of seeing the contents/changes of a release while importing it into the Prod Environment. When importing a release you go through a number of windows, such the logging information and the overwrite questions. I would like to see an additional step here. Similar to comparing versions of a process/object in the studio. It would be helpful to have this option when importing a release. I understand that when importing, the actual process/object is not in the DB yet en and Compare function works by comparing to versions in the DB. However, I am sure it should be possible to works this out, for instance by importing it, then give the release manager the option to view the differences and then actually commit them. If they choose not to go trough with the release the imported version should be deleted.

Dear Interact Product-Team, we would like to share our improvement idea. When raising an Interact submission, we have noticed, that we miss an importent function. We need to raise submissions to multiple Users or an User group. We need this, to ensure Interact User work coverage during possible absence holiday, sickness etc. Many thanks in advance. Kind regards Julia Jäger (Commerzbank Interact Specialist Team)

We need a convenient way to get a report about the utilization of our resources (virtual machines). The report should guide us in the planning of an optimized resource utilization. For example it can give us the time where the most machines are working in parallel (peek) and the time where are the most machines free and lying around (lazy time). With the report we should be able to plan the schedules in a more balanced way.

Currently, it is not possible to store output from JSON which has got repeatable element in collection when using Web API. It triggers an exception. I see this as a serious limitation of product functionality as usually you want to store the output in collection with many rows when querying some REST API.

Good Day, BP Interact could benefit from the following change:
Active Directory Organizational Unit Limit - Currently only enabling one User OU to be ingested into the BP list of users removes the ability for large organizations with more than one OU to use the solution (My organization has 20-30 User OUs).

Regarding the operation when "Any approver" is selected in Interact > Create form > Default approval type, the guide says "anyone who is a member of the role will be able to approve any requests".
https://bpdocs.blueprism.com/hub-interact/4-7/en-us/z-pdf/4-7/Blue%20Prism%20Interact%204.7%20-%20Plugin%20User%20Guide.pdf
But actually, approval requests are sent not only to the approvers within the role set on the form, but to all users who have been granted approver privileges. When I asked for the support desk about this point, it was the answer that it is the current specification.
However, when operating Interact in a large-scale organization, even if there is a case where approval is requested to the superior of one's own group, there is no case where an approval request is sent to all approval authority holders within the organization regardless of the group. Therefore, we are unable to use the approval function in actual operation.
Please consider changing the specifications that Approval requests can be sent to any approver within a specific group, such as sending to approvers within the role specified in "Interact role" or allowing the selection of a role to which approval is sent separately from "Interact role"
-----------------------------
Interactフォームの基本設定 ＞ 「デフォルト承認タイプ」で「任意の承認者」を選択した場合、ガイド上は「役割（role）のメンバーであれば～承認できます」と記載があります。
これに対し現状では、フォームに設定した「役割（role）」内の承認者だけでなく、Hubで「approver」の権限（permission）が与えられたユーザ全員に承認依頼が送信されます。この点サポートデスクに確認したところでは、現在の仕様であるとの回答でした。
しかし大規模組織でInteractを運用する場合においては、自グループの上司に承認を依頼するケースはあっても、グループにかかわらず組織内の承認権限保持者全員に承認依頼を出すというケースは通常あり得ないため、実際の運用にせっかくの承認機能を使用できずにいます。
「Interact role」で指定した役割内の承認者に送信する仕様とするか、「Interact role」とは別に承認を送る「役割（role）」を選択できる仕様とするなど、特定のグループ内の任意の承認者に承認依頼が送信されるよう、仕様の変更を検討お願いします。
