For now when we expose a process as a web service it remains resource dependent , in other words that resource should be always up and running else the service will return timeout . Can we make the exposure of service as either Application server dependent or queue dependent . This will also help with Load balancing as there is no such mechanism to share load out,now for exposed service. ... View more

When you rename a data item or collection, you are asked,"Do you want to change the name in the referenced action?" I want a function that confirmation comes out. If possible, it is good to come out only when you change from the initial value. ＝＝＝ ご担当者様 データアイテムやコレクション名を変更した時、「参照しているアクション内の名称も変更しますか？」と確認が出るようにできる機能が欲しいです。可能であれば、初期値以外から変更した時のみ出ると良いです。 よろしくお願いいたします。 ...

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 ...

As we all see while using any Exception stage we can mark "What type of Exception it is" and "What this Exception says\details"  .  It will be great if we also can include another field there saying "Exception Resolution Steps" --> Which are simple steps which a developer will add in order to tell what needs to be done when this exception occurs.  Example - A System Exception with detail saying "Restart this application when this exception occurs"  this will be great idea as it can get logged into the database\queues also . Further it can be used by control room Teams to better support a particular project or can be a helpful hand if a new developer joining the team looks at that project or object exception -->He\She exactly knows now what is needed to be done ! ...

Hi Team , As documentation is a important part of every process journey . Documents like Technical Design , Solution design or Object design mostly contains information which we we are filling in our Blue prism database or is already a part of our .bprelease file(which is indirectly a xaml file).  We can make this automated VBO which which can create a skeleton for us containing information like - Release Details All Process All Objects Credentials Work Queue Environment Variable System Exception Business Exception Description of Processes and Object Published Process and many others like this , which can be again looked and corrected by developers if needed . This skeleton(draft) of files using this VBO will save a hell lot of time for any developer. ... View more

Hi Team,   As AS IS process is a important part of our RPA project and sometimes can be more time taking and not very interesting task for a BA, Why not automate this ?    Can we create a BP Process Bot(Say BP Documentor) which when running on SMEs machine can allows you to capture AS IS process in a form of step-by-step manual with screenshots and text instructions.  A BOT which silently is running as a background process monitors actions of the subject matter expert and his team and generates word or PDF or video file containing screenshots, data or keys used or the attributes or differences if they perform while doing some task and of what is happening on the screen. After exporting, you can save the session in a document for further editing to be done by a BA or PEX or create a skeleton of a Blue Prism Solution with detailed notes for the developer who would be afterwards implementing the solution. The same Bot can be running N number of a times for a single process but with different Project Team members making sure it captures all the running steps what all team members are performing and find out if they are performing some steps which are different in between.This can be make sure to minimize miscommunication when capturing the process to be automated. Rather than doing workshops and listening to the customer, you can give him/her a tool that would listen for you. ... View more

At the moment using https on the resourcePC the parameter /sslcert needs the hash value. From my perspective it will be better to use the common name (CN) of the certificate, because the CN won't change if the certificate is renewed, but the hash value will. Therefore there is some maintenance work to do to use the new hash value, which can be prevented by using CN ... View more

I think it will be quite useful if blue prism can provide a browser based UI which can be shared with some of the process owners to run their process on a bot on their own. The portal can have a mechanism to provide access only to a particular process to process owner. At backend this process will be configured to run on a particular bot. The design above might not be perfect, however intent is to provide mechanism to process owners to run their own process in case their process can't be scheduled due to some dependency. Ofcourse various related entities to it like access or which bot it has to executed on, what if bot is busy at that time etc. need to be considered and designed accordingly. ... View more

This would make the web element identification for Chrome more precise, as we could define what element we actually want to work with, as most web pages do not really have unique values for all elements we would like to work with. This way the nesting could be defined, which would definitely give us much higher chance to create a unique combination for more robust application model. ... View more

When Zooming in process or object studio, it would be a more intuitive experience if the zoom centered on the cursor position rather than on the center of the canvas. The current method requires you to scroll vertically and horizontally to center your point of interest either before or after zooming. Zooming on the cursor allows you to simply position your cursor over the point of interest (something that you do intuitively most of the time) and zoom, removing the need for 3 or 4 additional actions every time you scroll. ...

For easy navigation of processes and business objects it would be incredibly useful to have a 'pan' tool to move about the canvas. What I'm talking about is a click and drag function to move the zoomed-in view of the flow diagram in process and object studio. This would be most useful combined with a shortcut key (e.g. 'P' for pan, or you could use the 'H' for 'Hand' convention that Sketchup uses) to allow full and fast navigation of the canvas. It's a feature I love in other software packages (including Sketchup) but I miss in Blue Prism. ... View more
