It seems machines (runtime resources & workplaces) are always identified by their host names, regardless of system settings.  In our case our settings were:  register using short names, communicate using FQDN However, the registration considered short names and FQDN and caused issues after DNS name change that made manual DB updates necessary. The machines were verified based on their short names in BPAResource and Blue Prism crashed because of FQDN mismatch. The only reason to chose 'register using short names' is to avoid long FQDN names in Control. Therefore: 1. add settings for short/FQDN in Control that is independent on communication and registration 2. always register and evaluate FQDN and never short names only ... View more

The reset FQDN feature currently only affects runtime resources but not workplaces.  When resetting FQDN for a specific <host> the value in FQDN column in BPAResource table is deleted but the line for <host>_debug stays untouched, thus preventing any debug sessions on this workplace. Please enhance the Reset FQDN feature to remove FQDN values for both: <host> and <host>_debug records. ... View more

When using Capture the process SMEs have to slow down the process to ensure Capture can record all the key strokes and tasks. ( we currently count to 3 between each key stroke to ensure that the information is capture correctly) Is it possible to speed up the Capture software so that we don't have to implement this delay ? It is very frustrating for the business process owners if we have to keep telling them to slow down or run the same Capture process more than once to ensure that  everything has been recorded. ...

Often when I troubleshoot presentation flows and automation services the I built in Chorus Design Workspace, I find the lack of a testing environment is a challenge.  I do not have the option to trace variable values, and place breakpoints in the code.   The best thing I can do at this point is print out variable values to the history Comments, but this is a challenge with complex data structures like tables and arrays. It would be great to be able to simply place a breakpoint on a specific step in a presentation flow and flag which variables or other session state data that I would like to trace.  When the presentation flow hits that breakpoint, the user is presented with a special breakpoint screen with all the session state data that is being traced.  Perhaps there is a specific flag the user sets when they deploy the process to indicate whether or not to ignore the breakpoints. Automation services being run outside of a presentation flow wouldn't be able to present a screen, but they could print out session state data to comments using the same configuration. I'd be happy to work on some mockups to elaborate on this idea if it is something we want to pursue. ... View more

Currently when we have system upgrades & downtime we have to remember to retire our processes so that they don't try to run whilst those systems are unavailable. It would be handy as we often know in advance when these system downtimes are - and they are usually out of hours so we sometimes retire a process a few hours before downtime is set to begin missing out on time we could have used to process cases. If we can add a timed retire onto the schedule. As in 'retire this process at.... and resume at....' so that it can run in time with these upgrades. ... View more

Currently renaming user roles in Blue Prism is only possible by mouse click.  It should be possible to use Windows standard [F2]-key for renaming user role names (similar as it is already possible in Studio with folder/group names). This will also come handy when automating Blue Prism application (as being official suggested since no API is available). ... View more

We need an auto size and auto layout functionalities which formats the entire BluePrism page similar to what is available in Visual Studio for SSIS job.

Right now, When adding DLLs to an object, you can either set your relative path to the dll and it will look for the file in the Blue Prism install folder, or you can specify a full path to a file.  I would find it useful to be able to set a path in the database as a second place for Blue Prism to find these dlls and not require to place dlls directly into Blue Prism install directory. This will help keeping blue Prism install directory clean and easy to manage over time. Also it will not require enterprise environments to repackage and update a new version of Blue Prism to be sent out for every dll to be added for object usage.. ... View more

There are inbuilt Tile Libraries which i have seen in Blue Prism Analytics tab. And there is one tile library which shows the License limit and concurrent sessions but that doesn't show the above info per Digital worker. It basically displays the overall consumed license. So, I am looking for a tile library which can provide the license utilization at VM level as well which can display the concurrent sessions at VM level. ... View more

Currently we have evaluated Browser and extension versions for Chrome, Firefox and Edge Browsers with compatible Blue Prism version. The reason for submitting this idea is to achieve a flexible Browser version and Browser extension which can be compatible for all Blue Prism versions. Because whenever we upgrade to higher versions we have to upgrade or adjust the chrome, firefox or edge versions too in order to achieve the compability else Browser mode doesn't work. ... View more

A better password reset mechanism is needed in case the user forgets the password of the BP login.

Hello, It would be really useful if we could find references to specific Web API actions, I know we can view references to the Web API itself but we don't have a similar view for a individual action. At the moment, if the API itself has a breaking change and requires some re-work of the Web API in Blue Prism, you have to manually go through each reference to that Web API to see what is impacted by the change. ...

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

Today, Every time a new Process or Object is imported into the Environment via AutomateC is automatically added to the Default Folder and does not maintain the Source Directory Structure. However, this is retained when importing via a .bprelease file. This is due to the <process-group> and <object-group> tags present in the bprelease file. Including this in the process/object xml will allow Users to import into an established folder structure. ... View more
