Liking the video without even watching it. Very excited to see this video. Will post my coments post watching it as well. Many thanks to Dave for making this video. Really lookin forward for your other videos in blueprism advanced and important topics. U make less videos on bp,, sincere request to make as many videos as you can to help people learn bp in advanced topics. U are doing a really gr8 job. Thanks a lot..
Hey Dave, got a bit late to comment back. Gr8 video.. if I remember it correctly, in my last discussion with you(over RUclips comments) you had said that there is no reqt of your object/process to be in foreground mode,if you are using send keys in ur application. This contrast with ur information shared in the video where u have mentioned that use foreground when u have to use send keys. Please clarify.
Thanks Dave! Great stuff. Two things - 1) Is there an alternative way to check the process mode instead of verifying by creating parallel sessions in the CRoom. 2) Is there a way to set all the objects of an already built process to a specific mode instead of changing one object at a time?
1) I don’t know of any way to check the run mode of a process without at least creating a session or two for it in control room. 2) the only way to change multiple objects at once would be to export a release that contains all the objects you want to change and then do a replace on the text inside it. You’d just need to search for whatever text such as exclusive or foreground and then replace with background or whatever, and then import the release back into Blue Prism and overwrite the components.
@Dave The RPA Guy thanks for the reply! Yes I found out by clicking the informational on the inputs page. I've changed all my current objects in a process to be background but I still cannot run the process multiple times like you showed here with the background process. Do you have any suggestions for other steps to configure a process as a background process?
I'm pretty terrible with connection strings. I end up googling for a couple hours till I figure that out. Is there anything in particular you need help with? I suppose you may have figured it out already since it's been two weeks since you've asked.
The reason exclusive and foreground exist is to make sure that other processes cannot run at the same time. So imagine you build a bunch of processes, some of which run entirely in the background and some that require mouse clicks and stuff. Blue Prism is giving us a way to designate each processes as "allowed" to run with other processes at the same time. It's kind of just a safety net to make sure two things don't accidentally try to run together when they shouldn't You could change everything to background mode, literally all your processes. That would be completely fine, but you may run into scheduling issues now and then, and you'd wanna be very careful to ensure one process doesn't try to start up while another is running.
Thanks mate. So if I create a bunch of background objects to interact with a browser (say just HTML), can I run parallel processes on the same machine?
Yep. I can’t say for sure what kind of issues may happen from that, and it’d definitely matter what version of Blue Prism it is as well as settings and how you identify the various browser windows. But all that disclaimer aside, yes it’s possible.

Thanks for the video! Useful to know running multiple processes on a single resource still consumes a license per process

awesome explanation!! thanks a million :) I liked the explanation very much
Excellent video. Thank you
@dave native bp objects don't allow for editing, do you know if they are background objects? Ie. Collection manipulation, work queues, etc
They're background effectively or at least have no run mode setting. I'm not really sure which.

Hey I figured it out. I created a new object, set the run mode, then copied the code over. It looks like it worked for me
@@nickdagostino1844 Ah ok cool!
Please make a video on oledb. Also tell how to setup connection strings etc.
I'm pretty terrible with connection strings. I end up googling for a couple hours till I figure that out. Is there anything in particular you need help with? I suppose you may have figured it out already since it's been two weeks since you've asked.
No I am unable to setup connection string. I am not sure what wrong m doing. How shall I contact u? @@DaveTheRPAGuy
We have a advanced option as background then why we are using exclusive / foreground, can you please help me Dave

Hi bro, Thanks
