I am getting "Not Connected" issue while executing a blue prism object. Currently, I'm working for browser application and I have given browser URL and window title in application modeler. If I launch the application by navigation stage it's working fine but I'm expecting like already running browser we need to attach and has to do some automation operations on it.

We tried with navigation stage with actions attach/Active application, getting issue "Not connected".

Can anyone help on this issue?

Blue Prism best practice is to call “Attach” page at the beginning of each action to make sure that BP is connected to the application. This page should look like this:

  1. Start
  2. Read stage – to check connection status (it will return Flag with connection status)
  3. Decision stage – connection flag
  4. If connected – go to End
  5. If not connected – Navigation stage – Attach

You also need to provide proper input parameters for Attach action, for Browser automation (Internet Explorer) you need to provide at least process name: “iexplore” & child index: 0 (it depends on your TabProcGrowth registry settings).

Blue Prism also recommends to start browser apps using Utility – Environment VBO & Start Process action. There are 2 inputs: Application – Path to internet explorer exe file & Arguments – webpage address. If you want to learn more about Browser Automations in Blue Prism I recommend you to familiarize with Blue Prism Guides available on Blue Prism Portal - https://portal.blueprism.com/.
