If you are running WEBCON environment with different versions, this article is for you.

Manual UI/UX tests usually take a long time, and in many cases still leave room for improvements. But what would happen, if you could define a UI test, which can be run in seconds? See how.

Here's part two on how to use Playwright for automated UI tests.

Translation Tool is the unofficial tool that allows you to translate WEBCON BPS configuration elements. Currently, it is not being developed because it is stable and functional – is compatible with the system from version 2019.1.x. Using Translation Tool you can export descriptions of all configuration elements instead of completing translations directly in the application in WEBCON BPS Designer Studio.

The article presents how to expand the WEBCON BPS installation with new application servers to easily support the higher load and increase the availability and reliability of WEBCON BPS applications. Each subsequent WEBCON BPS application server requires an appropriate license. The WEBCON BPS Search Server component is an exception. The existing WEBCON BPS environment consists of two servers: application server working as BPS Portal, BPS Service, BPS Search Server, and SQL Server dedicated to WEBCON BPS applications - to ensure high availability, the instance should support this functionality.

WEBCON BPS 2021 introduces the mechanism of diagnostics and recording the behavior of the form and other elements of WEBCON BPS Portal. This mode is a successor to the old Debug mode which was used to track all modifications that impact the visual layer. 

This functionality toggles a diagnostic mode in WEBCON BPS Portal, which registers all invocations on the form, i.e., form rules, JavaScript, editability, visibility restrictions, etc. (see full list below). Diagnostic mode is activated in the user menu by selecting the "Show diagnostics" option. All WEBCON BPS Portal users have access to it.


Thanks to this, finding the cause of an error or incompatibility in a process operation is faster and easier. Any user can record a session and forward it to the administrator. System Administrators and Application Administrators have full access to recorded sessions, which allows them to analyze the problem faster and more conveniently.
