RPA - AD01 Blue Prism - quick assessment

The Process is intended to attempt to perform the processing in the recover block, Block 3, a maximum of three times before throwing an exception. Data Item “Attempts” is a number data item with an initial value of 0 Data Item “Max Attempts” is a number data item with an initial value of 3 The ‘Increment Attempts’ calculation stage adds 1 to the attempts value and outputs a result to the “Attempts” data item To enable this to work correctly, what is the correct expressions for the ‘Try Again’ decision stage?

• [Attempts] < [Max]
• [Attempts] > [Max]
• [Attempts] = [Max]
• [Attempts] + 1

The Saved Quantity Data Item is configured as a number with the initial value 0. The Loop Orders stage is configured to loop through the Orders collection. The Get Quantity stage is configured as follows:

• 4
• 5
• 10
• 19

How many Start Stages can a sub-page in a Process have?

• 0
• 1
• 2
• Any Number

Study the following process flow: The data item “Loop Counter” is a number data item and has an initial value of 0. The data item “Max Loops” is a number data item and has an initial value of 10. The two stages are configured as follows: 1. Stage name: Loop Again ? Expr: [Loop Counter] < [Max Loops] 2. Stage name: Increment Loop Counter Expr: [Loop Counter] Store in: [Loop Counter] How many times will the Loop Again stage be executed when the page is executed?

• 10
• 9
• 11
• The loop will be infinite

Examine the following process flow: The Loop Orders loop is configured to loop through the Orders collection. How many times will the ‘Process Order’ page be executed?

• 1
• 15
• The loop will be infinite
• It’s impossible to tell. There is no loop counter.

Consider the following flow in an object: Which of the following statements are true?

• There just needs to be a wait stage after the start stage to correct this action.
• There should be a wait stage after every stage in this flow (i.e. after the navigate, read, write stages)
• If during testing in object studio this flow works no additional wait stages should be added as they will slow the interface down.
• There should be an intelligent wait stage after the start stage and after any stage that cause the application we are interfacing with to change

You identify an element in Application Modeller but when you highlight or use that element Blue Prism gives you an error message saying that duplicate elements were found. Which of the following statements is true?

• It is common for duplicate elements to be found based upon the attributes that are ticked by default using the Blue Prism product. Time needs to be spent experimenting with the attribute ticks until a unique, reliable, and consistent selection of attributes are found.
• It will not be possible to interface with the element in a unique way. You will need to use Surface Automation techniques for this element.
• A code stage interface will need to be created and used for this application, this will give you more flexibility to interact with the application elements.
• You will need to make the attributes you have selected dynamic. This will allow your flow to loop around, incrementing the attribute value until the correct element is found and used.

Which of the following statements about Business Objects is true?

• It is Blue Prism best practice to include business rules within Business Objects
• A Business Object is configured in the Studio area of Blue Prism
• A Business Object can be exposed to Control Room
• Logging of individual stages is not configurable in Business Objects

A Blue Prism solution works fine when developing and testing it in Process and Object studio but when it is running in Control Room exceptions occur because of screen elements not being found. What is the most likely cause?

• The most likely cause for the errors is that your application has changed.
• The most likely cause for the errors seen in Control Room is that best practice use of wait stages has not been followed.
• The most likely cause for the errors is that the Object Studio action has not been published and therefore cannot be used by the Process in control room.
• The most likely cause for the exceptions is that best practice exception handling has not been incorporated into the Process.

You identify an element in Application Modeller and it highlights uniquely and can be used in your object flow diagram. The next day you find that Blue Prism cannot no longer identify the same element, your object flow is giving you ‘Element not found’ exceptions. Which of the following statements is true?

• This must be an environment issue. The Blue Prism environment must be consistent and persistent, and an element that worked one day and does not work the next day suggests the environment is changeable. The IT team supporting the environment needs to be contacted to fix the problem.
• The Blue Prism product support team should be contacted to report the issue. This signifies an inconsistency in how the Blue Prism product is working which needs to be fixed.
• This suggests that Best Practice exception handling has not been implemented in the object. A retry loop around the object stages that are using the element will probably fix the problem.
• It is common for consistency issues to be found during configuration/development testing. The most likely cause is that an attribute has been selected for the element that is changeable, such as a window title with a date, or a UR
• The developer needs to ensure that any changeable attributes are unticked.
