This is about Global Send Keys in Blue Prism.
I was developing a process using an UAT app for 1 month. Everything looked fine until I started a test with the production version.
I had to re-spay some parts. The most challenging part was how to deal with the slowness in a particular field. Unfortunately the field needed to use global send keys which means the timing to send a keyword to the application is very important. I tried tons of thing but nothing worked from the Control Room.
After spending 2-full-day for this issue, I’ve reached out to the application owner. I honestly didn’t expect anything positive but wanted to double check if there was other spot to update the value in the field. The answer was No as I expected.
But, she gave me a very helpful advice and it worked after I applied it to my process!
The advice is to send the keyword letter by letter.
Everything is simple after you know the solution.
