The following fixes and minor improvements are introduced with this version.

Description of change

Reference

A new setting has been added to scheduled tasks that adds an optional delay at the end of the task, causing the scheduler to pause before the next task commences. This can be used allow actions that affect the state of the runtime resource (such as Login or Log out) to complete before subsequent actions are performed, and avoid errors such as Command not valid at this time – resource stopping.

A number of database changes have been made to improve performance in the following core areas of Blue Prism:

  • Work queues – Queries on completed work queues, exception items, and work queue statistics have been optimized. A further improvement in this area reduces the time taken to retrieve items from a queue based on Item Key filters.
  • Schedules – Queries on schedule triggers, schedule log entries, and task sessions have been optimized.

Loading times have been reduced for the Schedules and Schedule Timetables screens in the Control tab.

The default timeout that an application server allows a resource to respond has been increased from 10 to 60 seconds. This reduces the likelihood of resources incorrectly appearing offline.

A related fix has been applied that ensures connections between an application server and resource are not unnecessarily kept open when a response from the resource has not been received.
