Blue Prism Application Server

There are a number of steps to configure the installation to take


on the role of a Blue Prism Application Server.

It is typical for a single Blue Prism Application Server to be


configured; there is the option to multiple Application Server
situations on a distributed server.

The following actions are expected to each Blue Prism

Configure the Server Service Profile:

Blue Prism services are configured using BPServer.exe. This


application is presented as part of the Blue Prism installation
and is used to define and configure the services that are
available on a given server.

The configuration service also includes:

Determining the port on which it will work.


Defining the database contact information.
Configuring a credentials key which is applied to all data
encryption.

Navigate to the installation directory, typically from C:\Program

Default.

Choose the database connection which should be used by the


server. The gate can normally be left as default for a single
server but can be altered if necessary.

Setup the Windows Services:

For server configuration, a windows service can be created


using SC create, excluding Default which is automatically
configured.

sc create {SERVICENAME} binPath= “[Blue Prism Install

Optionally disable the automatic initiation of a Runtime


Resource:

It is not easy for a user to directly log into Blue Prism on the
Application Server, however, there will be a default setting
which automatically starts a Runtime Resource on the machine
after login. These settings will be disabled within the System
tab.

After creating Application server, the Windows Service is


configured for the environment.

The main settings to be composed are:

• Start-up by default to set to Manual however it is


recommended for most environments that should be set to
Automatic.

• Log into the default account used by Blue Prism Local System
which can be configured. The Windows Authentication is used
for database statement; it is the account specified will be used
by the service while connecting to the database.

When starting the service, if it stops directly, indicates a


configuration problem by showing information in Windows
Event Viewer, in the Application log which also provides further
notice about the problem.

Before configuring an Interactive Client, it is required to ensure


that Blue Prism has been installed on the system and is
configured for the environment by adding component.

Create a Blue Prism connection through the Application


Server:

Blue Prism Application Server is being deployed as part of the


environment, Blue Prism installations for Runtime Resources
and Interactive Clients are typically configured to connect via
the Blue Prism Server rather than directly to the database.

If Blue Prism Application is not deployed in the environment the


connection needs to be direct to the database.

These instructions give guidance on creating a Connection to


the Server Application.

1. Click on Configure. This will launch the wizard that can be


used to provide the connection.
2. The Connection Configuration window should now be
performed.

The Runtime Resources need to be configured with the
