Blue Prism Interact is only supported in a Multi-device Deployment. This is where the Blue Prism components are deployed across a number of devices. The reasons for this are:

  • It provides an extensible deployment of Blue Prism components suitable for a broad range of scenarios.
  • Advanced techniques relating to deploying additional services or securing and hardening the environment will commonly require this type of deployment.

A number of more advanced topics are also included within this guide to provide information on troubleshooting installations and configuring advanced settings and options.

If further assistance is required whilst following this document, please contact your Blue Prism Account Manager or Technical Support. For more information, see Contact us.

Blue Prism Hub must be installed before attempting to install Interact.
