BMC crawler to include articles from Remedy Knowledge Management in IBM Watson Discovery
To include articles from Remedy Knowledge Management in cognitive insights, you can use the BMC crawler, an easy way to crawl articles from Remedy Knowledge Management. You can include the crawled articles in cognitive insights provided by BMC Helix Chatbot or any other custom application.
After you install and configure the BMC crawler utility, it creates an environment and data collection in your IBM Watson Discovery instance automatically. After crawling, the Remedy Knowledge Management articles are automatically added to the data collection.
The BMC crawler utility supports only Remedy Knowledge Management data for now and is not a generic crawler for any other database or file system. For more information about installing and configuring the BMC crawler, see

Chat enhancements for ease of use
BMC Helix Chatbot provides flexibility to end users to receive chat transcripts, and upload attachments in their chat conversations.
Receive a chat transcript via email
At any time during a chat conversation, end users can request for the transcript of that chat and receive this transcript on the registered email ID. The end user can use the transcript whenever required. For example, for a recurring issue such as a connectivity problem, instead of submitting a new request every time the issue occurs, the user can refer to the transcript of the first chat that the user had to resolve the connectivity problem.
A chat transcript consists of the entire conversation, and other details such as date, time, and name of attachments, if any.
For more information about getting a chat transcript, see the following topics:
Upload attachments related to a request in a chat conversation
During a chat conversation with a support agent who uses Support Agent Console of BMC Virtual Chat, an end user can upload an attachment to the chat. For example, the end user can upload medical bills, airline tickets, marriage certificate, and so on, as required.
For more information about attachments in a chat, see Using live chat to escalate issues to support agents.
