Configuring and starting the components

​

To configure the processes in Blue Prism:

1. In Blue Prism, open the System tab and expand the Environmental Variables group in the Processes node. For the values of the variables, specify the settings required to connect to FC and click Apply.
2. Open the Studio tab and expand the FlexiCapture 12 Processes group in the Processes node to see the imported sample processes.
3. Open the Batch Sender process and then open the properties of the InputDirPath data item. In Initial Value, specify the path to the folder from which the process should pick up files to be sent to FC. Save the changes.

1. Place the images to be processed into the folder you specified in step 3 above.
2. Open the Batch Saver process and then open the properties of the OutputDir data item. In Initial Value, specify the path to the folder where the process should save processing results. Save the changes.

​

To start the processes in Blue Prism:

1. Open the Control tab. In the Available Processes pane, find the processes used by FC. Additionally, make sure that there is a resource with the “Yes - Connected” status in the Resources pane.

1. Using drag-and-drop, assign the Batch Monitor and Batch Saver processes to the connected resource. The processes will appear in the Environment window, with “Pending” indicated in the Status column.
2. Select the above processes, right-click them, and select Start on the shortcut menu. The processes will run in the background, checking items in the MonitorQueue and FetcherQueue queues.

1. Repeat the steps above to start the Batch Sender process. This process will pick up files from the input folder, send them to FC and write the ID of the newly created batch to the MonitorQueue queue.
2. Wait until the Batch Monitor process has checked the status of the batch. If the batch has been processed successfully, the Batch Monitor process will add its ID to the FetcherQueue queue. Next, the Batch Saver process will place the files containing the processing results into the output folder. If the batch ends up in the “Verification” stage, the Batch Monitor process will add its ID into the VerifierQueue queue. If this is the case, start the Batch Verifier process to verify the batch on the Web Verification Station.
