Create utiilty to enable import of an excel (*.csv) formatted spreadsheet from Processor workspace. UX screen will need to enable mapping of columns to Chorus BPM data fields with options to include/exclude column. Need to include a preview that states what will happen (i.e. 27 new UNIT - WRKT transactions will be created with the following data fields ACCT, SSNO, AMT, etc.) Each row will create new transaction (Case or Transaction) in Chorus BPM and they will execute the related process flow. This utility will enable sunset of some RIP feeds and enable rapid ingestion of data into the system that is currently locked in Excel spreadsheets.

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.

Steps to Recreate- Try to use AFT with S3 using the native EC2 profile fails

Keeping up-to-date with the latest version is Blue Prism is sensible. However, this does cost time, money and effort on enterprises. Being able to apply patches over existing installations would be beneficial. For instance, the with Google Chrome's frequent release pattern it would be great to apply a patch that accommodates the changes to allow integration rather than going through the full upgrade process.

It would really help to simplify complex schedules if Blue Prism could allow for schedules to be defined by CRON expressions.

Having a design requirement that would be easily solved if scheduler could initiate based on the presence of work items in a target work queue. Example: Fire schedule every 15 minutes IF( [Workqueue1].ContainsWorkItems(>0) ) This would allow a scheduler to check every 15 minutes for the target work queue ('Workqueue1') has a work item greater than zero. Some additions to this could include filtering on tags/status/ attempts or other work queue related data points.

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.

Hello,
When using Capture during recording of actions in SAP, we have noticed that the tool does not catch all the values properly or some are not caught at all.
I found out from Blue Prism support that currently there is no SAP Spy mode for Capture, it relies on OCR or CV.
I would be great, if we SAP spy mode was added there to improve the quality of documentation from SAP (especially for companies which work a lot with SAP)

Request to have CSS and XPath support added to all browser spying mode, so that element identification (or highlighting) can be achieved using any complex CSS or XPath selector. CSS is widely used in web development and is often the way how modern websites use to implement many UI features via JavaScript. Often a web element can be identified uniquely by the use of a single expression without the use of any other attributes. It can be a much faster way in narrowing down to an element on a very large web page with thousands of elements. It may also bring benefits to pages that are dynamic in nature, e.g. an element may not always appear in the same PATH hierarchy. I am aware that a user may specify XPath expressions against "Web Path" attribute when using Google Chrome and Firefox plugins. XPath however is not being supported by the IE mode.

the idea is on having a checkbox instead of radio button on login method for application. as application can be login via SSO, with UN, PW, with API etc.

Its pretty common that we save our work as we build automations. Also once we get to a point we deploy the automation to Production for example we dont really need to retain very old versions. For example lets say this is now the 4th release of a process to production I will not need to retain the work done for version 1 and version 2 but would like to keep version 3. At the same time I would not want to keep all the work in between version 3 and version 4 once all testing has been completed and confirmed it works. What I would recommend is giving a function in Blue Prism, with role permissions to keep this limited, to be able to delete old saves of objects and Processes. As each one of these saves keeps the xml data of the entire object / process larger ones can become a problem with loading and impact overall performance of the Blue Prism system use for developers. For example imagine if we could delete everything in development for this process that was not highlighted:

In adding the New Processor several miss the column layout of the Legacy Processor in the Work List and Search functionalities. Currently under preferences there is a Theme space and currently there is Default and Compact, the request is to add an additional one that would mirror similar to the column format with Headers like Legacy Processor where individuals can easily compare LOB's within several work items.

Quite often I need to copy something from the BP UI to use in an errand, a document, an email, ... The things I need to copy on a regular basis are:
Process name
Environment variable values
...
The easy way would be to mark the text to be copied in the UI, do a right-click and chose Copy (or a Ctrl+C). Unfortunately, the UI does not allow these, and other, texts to be marked and subsequently copied. This leaves only the 'visual copy and manual paste' option open. Note that I can copy at least the values of Environment variables in the Development environment, but the Production environment in View mode does not allow for this. The contents of most Environment variables do not really lend themselves for a manual copy and paste, as it is quite easy to make mistakes in things like long values for file-paths. Long ago I got fed up with the UI's inability to copy the process names, so I put these in an XL for more easy reuse. Now for my proposal: Could you make more elements in the BP UI available for marking and copying? Happy coding! --------------- Paul Sweden

Hello Team, I've feedback for BPU and PDF guides. There are many courses on BPU that just shows slides of the PDF guide (e.g. BPC courses) A course should be video material with dynamic components, voice-overs, graphics, and charts to explain the tool and concept easily. Just having PDF guides broken into chapters and having it as a course does not sound to me like a good idea. If it is just a PDF/Slideshow for a user to read then he/she can simply read the PDF guide outside of BPU. We have many interactive video courses as well e.g Decipher Training, Blue Prism Foundation Training, etc. on BPU which are great. My point here is we should have a clear delineation between video courses and PDF guides and it should not be mixed up on BPU. All SCORM video courses should be on BPU. All the PDF guides are on a separate portal.

When selecting a Business Object from within an Action, it can become difficult to locate the specific one you are looking for if you are in an environment with a high number of objects. It would be extremely helpful if the list items within the Business Object dropdown field could be filtered.

Hello, Time to time VM resources and servers needs time for maintenance breaks. This can happen in scheduled (like once a month) or ad-hoc manner. It would be time-saving feature that you can schedule a maintenance breaks by resource / by pool.
Why?
- Currently every schedule needs to be expired manually and they need to put back when the maintenance break is over. - Normally these SQL server/ App-server maintenance breaks happens in night-time and they last from 1h up to 4h. - At environments, where are dozens or hundreds of schedules, this is taunting task to do on monthly basis. - By marking "maintenance break" for certain time slot -> Schedules do not try to start on that time interval. It will save manual work + night time runs will start after the marked maintenance breaks time slot is passed. - Process controller does not need to remember put the schedules back on next day.

In BPv6.10 we have setup a multi-team-environment and access to certain folders is restricted; Sometimes users are getting an error message when trying to run a process in Control Room: "Failed to create session on [...] Cannot create session as user does not have execute permission on one or more of the processes dependencies". It would be very helpful to include in this error message which dependencies the user does not have permission for so that it can be fixed quickly.
