Process Blue Prism automation results in your application in an efficient way by
mapping the Blue Prism process data model to the case data model.
Running a Blue Prism process as part of a case type consists of the following stages:
Your application sends a request to Blue Prism with the input that is required
for running an automation.
Your application matches the output values with specific case properties so that
the case can progress.
Pega Platform handles the mapping of input and output properties
through request and response data transforms that you can configure while defining
stages and steps of a case type.
Tip: After successfully synchronizing with the Blue Prism
process inventory, you can inspect the processes in your application for the
properties to map in each data transform.
Configure a case type to include a step for assigning tasks to a Blue Prism
robotic work queue. For more information, see:
In this scenario, you create request and response data
transforms for a sample Blue Prism process to check the share price of a company. Based
on the stock symbol that your application supplies to Blue Prism, the automation returns
the current share price, currency, and the queue item ID to match the request and
response. The following figure shows the Blue Prism process in Pega Platform:Input and output configuration in a Blue Prism process
Important: All property names in the Blue Prism process data model are
case-sensitive. Ensure that the property names match exactly in your Blue Prism
implementation.
In the navigation pane of Dev Studio, click Case types.
Open the case type that you want to edit.
On the Workflow tab, click the Assign to robot queue
step.
Blue Prism process integration in a case type
Creating a request data transform
On the General tab of the step properties pane, next to
the Request data transform field, click the
Open icon.
On the New tab, configure the data transform
record.
In the Label field, specify the data transform
name.
In the Additional configuration section, in the
Data format field, select
JSON.
In the Context section, specify the applicable
ruleset and the ruleset version for the data transform record.
Click Create and open.
On the Definition tab of the data transform record, map
case properties to all Blue Prism input fields.
For example: Create a step to map the value of case property that holds the company
stock symbol to the corresponding input property in the Blue Prism process, as
shown in the following figure:Request data transform for mapping Blue Prism input data
On the Definition tab of the data transform record, map
case properties to output fields that Blue Prism returns after completing an
automation.
For example: Create steps to map the Blue Prism price and
currency property values to the corresponding
properties in your case data model, as shown in the following figure:Response data transform for mapping Blue Prism output data
Note: Do not include the itemId
property in the response data transform because Pega Platform handles this mapping automatically.
