Hi Community, In most processes in my BPS, access to the application is granted to the AD group 'Domain Users'. I currently need to restrict access rights for three users in this group. Is it possible to do this without creating a new group?

Hello everyone, Has anyone encountered an issue with processing the HotMailBox? I have a mailbox that occasionally gets stuck, and the only way to resolve it seems to be restarting the Webcon Workflow Service. It appears that Webcon attempts to import an email but gets stuck in the process and never completes it. Any tips or suggestions would be highly appreciated. Thanks, Martin

Hello everyone, I have a question regarding Webcon standard areas and page design. We have a Webcon application that is linked through our SharePoint intranet, and users open the application from there. Regardless of how the application is accessed, the left panel is always displayed by default, as this seems to be standard Webcon behavior. This panel allows users to select a dashboard, view their tasks, and access other options. If my description is unclear, I can attach a screenshot for ref (...)

Recently, I found out that we have been using more user CALs than we had installed. We had 500 CALs, but we used 511 CALs – how is that possible? Why doesn’t Webcon show any message that too many licenses are being used? Webcon works fine, and all processes run without issues. Webcon 2025, perpetual license

Hello, while downloading emails, the following message appears: Could not download attachments. Skipping e-mail: AU2601705 Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.ServiceVersionException: The property Mentions is valid only for Exchange Exchange2015 or later versions. In the HotMailBox configuration, there's no option to specify a dedicated configuration for Exchange On-premises. There's only an option for MS Exchange 2013/2016/2019. I use MS Exchange in version 2019

Hi everyone, maybe someone has a good idea for this request. One application will be migrated from WEBCON to another platform. The users should still be able to view the data but they shouldn't be able to modify it. While this isn't a problem the process privilege level, the users didn't work correctly with the system and now have hundreds of open tasks. Which in turn means, the users with those tasks have also a personal edit privilege. I haven't come up with a good way how to solv (...)

Hi all, I browsed through the documentation for the public REST API as well as other threads here but couldn't find anything to help with my issue. My requirement is to check if workflows for certain criteria are already created and I need more than one search criteria for an exact match. I am useing the PublicApiSearch with an request URL like this: data/v5.0/db/1/applications/9/search?search=WFD_AttText1:XYZ This checks just fine if attribute WFD_AttText1 contains the value 'XYZ (...)

Hi everyone, we are currently experiencing an issue with our WEBCON BPS Portal (version 2024.1.1.217). After logging in, the portal does not load correctly for some selected users — instead, they only see a completely white screen. No error message is displayed, and the page never finishes loading. Additional details: Authentication method: Active Directory (AD) Occurs for only some users who attempt to log in Clearing browser cache/cookies does not help Different browsers sho (...)

Dear all, We maintain an Equipment dictionary that stores unique records for items used in field operations outdoor. I need to determine whether it is possible to configure WEBCON BPS so that scanning a QR code with a mobile device (via phone camera ) can directly open the corresponding dictionary instance. The key requirement is that the QR code is generated by an external system, not by WEBCON. In other words, a pre-printed, third-party QR code should be scanned, and based on the encoded (...)

Hello, is there a way to restrict the domains to which e-mail notifications can be sent? For example, I would like to establish a rule so that e-mails are sent only to addresses within my domain (@my_company.com). So, even if I enter an external email address in the configuration, it won't be sent to that user. Moreover, do you know whether data from test emails is stored in the database? (I am referring to the 'Send test email' function within the 'send a custom email' configuration.)? Be (...)

Hi, have you encountered this problem? The REST action is called on a path that is handled by a recursive action (global). Execution limits are set to >30s everywhere. Despite this error, request sometimes reach the target system and sometimes do not, which is very inconvenient. Do you think this is a problem related to the Webcon application? Response End Exceptions: System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException: An error occurred while sending the request. ---> System.Net.Http.WinHttpExcep (...)

Hey everyone, is anyone else experiencing an issue with the “Choose application” dialog? On version 2025.2.1.179. when I click Choose application and start typing in the “Search application…” field, the tab automatically switches from Most used to All, instead of staying where it was. Also, the system doesn’t actually filter based on what I type — it just shows a random list of applications. Has anyone else noticed this behavior? Thanks, Martin

I have business rules that return a messages when doing certain actions, i am using the "Text" function for it, as it has a built in translation feature. However when exporting the translation of the application to excel i cannot find these text anywhere. Does someone know how to export them to excel?

Hi everybody. I'm trying to implement a calculated column into a report. This is the Query: ( SELECT dbo.ClearWFElemAdv(DET_Att3) FROM WFElementDetails WHERE DET_WFCONID = 9579 AND DET_WFDID = WFD_ID AND dbo.ClearWFElemID(DET_Att1) = 1 ) This column is empty. If I put in a value for WFD_ID, e.g. 52750 the column is filled with the correct Value (for item 52750). What am I doing wrong? Kind regards Klaus

Hello community, We previously worked with Webcon BPS version 2022 and has upgraded to 2025.1.1. In the older version, I remember there was an option in Designer Studio (can’t recall exactly where) to view a workflow diagram—similar to the Workflow Designer view—that showed how many times each path was used. I used this feature during testing to verify that all paths were covered and to check the number of executions. Does anyone know where this functionality can be found in version 2025.1.1, o (...)

Hey everyone, I have two reports — one for Vessels and another for Shipments. On the Shipments report, I’ve set a URL filter like this: VESSEL_CODE = vesselCode Now I’d like to link these two together. Basically, I want to add a column on the Vessels report that links directly to the Shipments report, automatically filtered by the vessel’s code (using the URL parameter). Ideally, the solution should also work when exporting/importing the process between test and production environmen (...)

Hi all, looking for ideas on a startup/warm-up issue. Context: • At night our Webcon instance seems to “go to sleep”. • In the morning the first user login usually wakes it up, but it takes a bit. • Since last week it often doesn’t wake up like before and throws timeouts. Symptom: • First login after the night stalls, then I see this in Event Viewer. --- --- --- Message=The request channel timed out attempting to send after 00:01:00...
