    Reset Counter

    Use a calculation stage to set 0 as the value of Count. Make sure this only happens if the process successfully completes the part you have a retry loop around.

    Request Stop From Another Process

    As an alternative you could create a BP queue for downtimes which stored the start and end of downtime in the item data. Each of your processes could call a sub process which checks that queue for downtimes, if Now()>[Downtime Start] output a stop flag, which causes your process to stop...

    How to check data item contains certain value or not?

    Can't Spy Oracle Java Applet

    Have you enabled Java Access Bridge? How are you attaching to the Java object? In your Attach action try adding "jp2launcher" in the Process Name input parameter. And check what you have passed for Window Title - perhaps wildcards could help.

    How to work with a collection having no header ?

    Do you know what the fields in your collection should be? Some screenshots of the data would be helpful if possible. If you want headers, could you insert them into the Excel file first using Blue Prism?
