New features
RPA integration with Automation Anywhere

Bizagi now supports out-of-the-box integration with one of the leading RPA vendors on the market. This integration allows you to send parameters, trigger the execution of an Automation Anywhere robot. This enables you to fully automate your processes by delegating manual tasks to a bot.

Dynamic Rules Tracer

In previous versions, debugging an expression in Activity Actions demanded using functions like CHelper.Trace to trace the rule using text files for its evaluation after executed. Bizagi now offers a new feature to trace an expression in runtime that dynamically displays values of variables and XPaths while the rule is executed. This feature is available in the development environment for tracing Scripting rules set on Activity Actions. Once triggered, the Dynamic Rules Tracer lets to run the expression line by line and display the values of variables and XPaths, as a rule is executed.

New Management Console Web (for Automation Service Enterprise customers)

Automation Services Customers running in version 11.2.2 can enable on demand the new Management Console web (MC web) that includes most options available in the traditional Management Console. It has an amazing web design and comes with new features for deployments. Some considerations apply, as there are options that are still executed from the traditional MC (cases deletion, user groups, admin passwords and working time schema).

Customize maintenance window (for Automation Service Enterprise customers)

With the new Management Console Web, you can set a customized message to appear to all end users when they open the Work Portal during the maintenance period.

Synchronizing users from Azure AD using the SCIM protocol (for Automation Service Enterprise customers)

Automation Service customers now can synchronize users between Azure AD and Bizagi using the System for Cross-domain Identity Management protocol (SCIM). This protocol provides a REST API that lets Azure AD Administrators managing user identities in a single directory and synchronize users in Bizagi. Services allow to Create, Read, Update, or Disable users in the WFUser table.
This integration permits centralization of user administration without third-party applications, reducing failure points, and increasing the governability of multiple cloud-based applications used in organizations. The protocol relies on commercial authentication, authorization, and privacy models, which makes this integration flexible for our cloud-offer customers.

Improvements
RPA now supports different environments

When using RPA, you may want to use different Bot managers of the same vendor. Bizagi now lets you choose which one is called by your development, test, or production environment. That means you can choose each environment calls which Orchestrator (UiPath)Blue Prism Server or Control Room (Automation anywhere). With this, Bizagi grows along with the development of your RPA strategy.

Scheduler 2.0 (optional)

There is a new version available of the scheduler that you can opt to use in projects that demand high performance and execute considerable number of jobs. The new scheduler performance is improved for faster execution of Jobs using multithreading capabilities, enhanced reliability, and queued execution considering a priority. The Scheduler can be updated seamlessly to end-users and avoids clogs or deadlocks of jobs because they are always queued and executed. It is fully compatible with the Scheduler 1.0 because you can upgrade or downgrade anytime.

Deployment Improvements
  • When you create a new version of a process, and it is deployed to test or production environments, Bizagi now clones Alerts and Sensors from the previous version in the target environment, in the new process version seamlessly to the end user. This improvement is available for both One Click and Advanced Deployment.

    • Filter and search processes to be deployed
    • Select all items
  • When you deploy the BEX file using the createImport executable, in Advanced Deployment, now you can create a snapshot of the source database. This can help you to easily revert the database if there is an external issue affecting the database in the deployment procedure.
