Having recently migrated some processes from V4.2 to v6.5, I discovered there was a real need for a migration tool. To buttress my point, the migration tool will 1. Automatically migrate all processes, objects, environments and other assets without any manual intervention. The only manual intervention will be to trigger the tool (.exe). We had over 100+ processes in v4.2 and moving across to the new environment was a real pain 2. Compare the versions of assets(process, env variables) if they already exist in the target environment. Technically, our strategy was to keep two environments running currently and any migration failure experienced in v6 will result in roll back changes and back to V4. After migration, some shared objects were amended in V4 by other developers, That automatically left both environments out of sync and sometimes, the new asset isn't moved over to V6.4. 3. Automatically takes a snapshot of all assets by automatically associating dependencies with processes and creating releases. I know my comments sound ambitious but this will alleviate some of the laborious tasks with respect to migration.

the idea is to be able to run the selected task in the scheduler without having to change it in the head scheduler window example: existing schedule has 4 task, I would like to run 3 task (run now)
currently this cannot be accomplished by clicking run now - you have to modify the entire schedule
and then you have to restore schedule to factory settings after start desired task
going further, there can be several machines in the schedule and if you want to run only one because the rest are running and this one had a termination, you can't do that either
I am currently working on BP version 6.10.1

When expanding various windows in the product there are many windows which don't auto fit to occupy the space they have available. A small menu update would make some of the tooling a lot more friendly to use. For example read/write/navigate stages with multiple stages and panels, when navigating long named variables or long/wide application modellor trees makes the clumped menus very awkward and you need to expand them. Having to do this window operation so frequently though is a killer and makes using these menus a total pain when you have to adjust screen menu sizes so frequently, almost as standard when doing build work

Currently, the views of owned cases by teams or team members is limited to 10 cases per page (with the ability to page through). Would like to see this increased to at least 50.

Also there is no way to clear the errored email from the screen so you do not know if it was resolved until you locate the original work object. In many cases the issue is a malformed email address, we built a service that attempts to prevent it but it is not 100% accurate so items still fall through the cracks.

As a Third-Party Administration (TPA) business I can receive instructions in various formats, mainly PDF, that contain multiple client instructions and I use the document splitter functionality to create multiple subdocuments and transactions for processing.
As a key control to ensure every page from the original document is included with a sub-document I require the annotations to be shared with the original document as per the functionality available with the desktop and applet versions of the content viewer.

This currently takes us much longer to do development than what would be the norm.
Data Source names to be sorted, especially when you have maybe 80-100 variables to be mapped.
Please reference screen shots below for specific example from T. Rowe Price.
For the example “RDS NONFINANCL Process”
There are 4 PF flows that are used to set variables and pass as input into automated Service to generate a letter:
PF RDS NONFINANCL - Core Processing Step
PF RDS NONFINANCL - Complex Processing Step
PF RDS NONFINANCL - InfoBack Processing Step
PF RDS NONFINANCL - InfoBack Complex Processing Step
Focus on “Core Processing Step” for now as this module sets a variety of variables, based on the letter type selected and entered by the business. These variables will be passed to an automated service used to generate a communications letter.
Here is a screen shot of the Data Name output variables being passed from ‘PF RDS NONFINANCL – Core Processing Step’

You should be able to edit retired schedules. Currently the only way to edit a schedule is if it is live, which poses a risk that the schedule may run before the changes you need to make are made. For example, I have a retired schedule where I wish to change the calendar used from a Mon - Fri to Tues only, but if I unretire this on a Friday to edit it, the schedule will run straight away, before I am able to update the calendar which would tell it not to run on a Friday.

Currently, the fact that a process is exposed as a web service is not a part of the release package. As such, it needs to be changed manually on import to a new environment. It would be better if exposure status was stored within the .bprelease file itself, in the same way the "process published" flag is stored within the release.

As of now, we can set up auto force retry on exception items by increasing the retry count on queue settings. But this will force retry all exception items. I see a possibility to add some intelligence in the tool to only force retry specific exception items and not all of them. The user should have 2 options to enter keywords for Exception Type & Exception Details. So users need to configure keywords. So if BP encounters an exception item and it has a keyword match present in Exception Details then only it will force retry automatically. If there is no match in a keyword from what user set and what BP throw then there will be no auto force retry.

My "idea" or actually my request to you at Blue Prism is to please get back the possibility from earlier version to let us customize the Interact 4.3 landing page. The current one has nice colors since I am from Sweden and also seems like a theme IKEA could use. But we would like the possibility to as we did in earlier version put our Branding-style on it.

Similar idea is already raised, but I'd like to simplify it. Basically this: Allow to set time window, when schedule execution is paused. E.g. "No schedules started every Monday 02:00AM ~ 05:00AM" This would allow to easier plan server/database/runtime resources maintenance, prepare for updates and etc. This could be a setting in BPServer.exe.config, BPServer GUI, or any other convenient place.

Hi there, I'd like to suggest an idea to improve BP Studio. It is just about the visibility of texts in the BP Process/Object Studio.
If you see the attached screenshot, the selected row’s values’ fonts don’t have enough visibility.
Especially, when we’re providing training sessions to our partners/customers, people who sit down further from the screen are hard/unable to see the texts.
I attached a ppt file to show more cases. Please check the attachment.
Thank you. Seungjei. seungjei.jang@blueprism.kr from Blue Prism Korea

in current versions following behavior is implemented: If BP language matches Windows language setting then Windows region settings are used. If BP language does not match Windows language then BP region settings are used. Example 1: Windows language: English (US) Windows region: German BP language: English (US) ... BP uses German region settings Example 2: Windows language German Windows region: German BP language: English (US) ... BP uses English region settings In example 2, data would be presented differently in eg Excel and in Blue Prism. This behavior is not limited to German but affects all situations where Windows language and BP language does not match. However, also the opposite is true, eg when Windows and BP are both set to German then Windows region is used. The idea is to have constant behavior regardless of language and if languages matches or don't match. Please always consider Windows Region as the ruling formatting

It would be nice to have more options for scheduling. Accounting requires different schedules for different working days in the month ie. workday 2 or 4. Currently, I can only schedule on the first or last working day of the month.
