How I Handle Environment Variables | Blue Prism Tutorial
In this video, I show a better way to handle environment variables in Blue Prism by putting all the environment variables for a specific automation into JSON and storing that in a single environment variable. I’ve been using something like this for years now, but most of that time I was storing the JSON in a file and then reading it in at runtime. Instead, more recently I’ve started putting that JSON directly into a Text Environment Variable, and I personally think this is the best way to handle it at the moment in Blue Prism.
