What is the risk associated with using unreliable applications in Blue Prism?

Using unreliable applications in Blue Prism can lead to significant risks, including the potential for the Blue Prism process to crash. When an application behaves unpredictably, it can disrupt the interactions that Blue Prism has with it, leading to various issues such as unhandled exceptions, incomplete data retrieval, or crashes. Since Blue Prism relies on consistent and stable application responses to execute processes successfully, any instability in the application can result in process failures and negatively impact overall automation performance.

The consequences of a crashed process might include lost data, wasted processing time, and additional resource expenditure to recover from the failure. This underscores the importance of ensuring that the applications integrated within Blue Prism are reliable and well-functioning to maintain process stability and efficiency.
