Question 2
A Developer is following the best practices to prepare the Process for a Production release
Which of the following should NOT be implemented?
- A. Disable all unnecessary stage logging to reduce the amount of data logged and stored during the runtime
- B. Use Retry loops to handle Business Exceptions on a Work Queue Items to increase resilience in the process logic
- C. The Process logic should include alerting mechanism to notify Process Controller(s) of any critical issues
- D. The solution should have zero Valuation Errors to avoid failures when it is run from the Control Room
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Best Practices for Production Release:
A . Disable unnecessary stage logging: This is a best practice to reduce data storage and improve
performance.
C . Alerting Mechanism: Including an alerting mechanism helps notify Process Controllers of critical
issues, which is crucial for maintaining process health and quick issue resolution.
D . Zero Validation Errors: Ensuring there are no validation errors before deployment helps avoid
runtime failures.
Handling Business Exceptions:
Using retry loops to handle business exceptions for work queue items is not recommended as it can
lead to unnecessary retries and may not address the underlying issue causing the exception. Instead,
business exceptions should be handled by sending them to an exception queue for further analysis
and resolution.
Reference:
Blue Prism documentation on best practices for process development and deployment.
Question 3
Please refer to the exhibit
An automation Start Up page has been created to launch and login to the Blue Prism Portal. The page
has no Input or Output Parameters The page is run but causes an Exception What is the cause?
- A. The Username and Password Data Items contains no hard-coded credentials
- B. The BP Portal. Go to LMS action should be inside the Login Block
- C. There is no action to retrieve the credentials from Credential Manager
- D. The BP Portal Launch action should have a retry loop
Answer:
C
Explanation:
Credential Retrieval:
The automation start-up page requires actions to retrieve the credentials from the Credential
Manager to log in to the Blue Prism Portal.
Cause of Exception:
The exception is likely caused because there is no action to retrieve the username and password
from the Credential Manager, leading to missing or incorrect credentials.
Steps to Fix:
Ensure that an action is included to retrieve the credentials from the Credential Manager before
attempting to log in.
Reference:
Blue Prism documentation on using the Credential Manager and best practices for secure credential
handling.

Question 5
Please refer to the exhibit.
The action gets account details from the screen and applies a new limit unless the risk codes are of a
specific value According to Blue Prism best practice, how should a Developer design the Object(s)
supporting this?
- A. 1 Object; 2 Actions - Get Account Details and Apply New Limit, and move the decision-making logic to the Process
- B. 1 Object: 3 Actions - Get Account Details. Verify Risk Code, and Apply New Limit
- C. 1 Object; 2 Actions - Get Account Details and Apply New Limit
- D. 2 Objects - Get Account Details and Apply New Limit; and move the decision-making logic to the Process
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Single Object Design:
According to Blue Prism best practices, it is generally recommended to minimize the number of
objects and actions to keep the solution simple and maintainable.
Actions:
Get Account Details: This action retrieves account information from the screen.
Apply New Limit: This action applies a new limit to the account.
Decision-Making Logic:
The decision-making logic (checking for high-risk code) should be placed in the process, not the
object. This separation ensures that the object focuses on interacting with the application, while the
process handles the business logic.
Reference:
Blue Prism best practices on object design and separation of concerns between objects and
processes.
Question 6
Complete the following statement.
The________captures the operational requirements of how the process is manually operated today,
and help design how the process can be automated.
- A. OID
- B. FRQ
- C. SDD
- D. POD
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Process Definition Document (POD):
The POD captures the operational requirements of how the process is manually operated today and
helps design how the process can be automated.
It includes detailed descriptions of the current manual process, the objectives for automation, and
the steps needed to automate the process.
Role in Automation:
The POD serves as a blueprint for the developers, ensuring that all aspects of the current manual
process are considered in the automation design.
It helps in identifying potential challenges and ensuring that the automated process meets the
business requirements.
Reference:
Blue Prism documentation on process documentation and the role of the Process Definition
Document (POD).
Question 7
A process is currently scheduled to run every day but needs to be temporarily stopped for 3 months
According to best practice, how should this be done?
- A. Retire the Schedule for the required period. then Unretire it
- B. Clone the Schedule and set a new start date on the clone
- C. Set an End Date on the Schedule, then create a new Schedule to Start after 3 months
- D. Pause the Schedule for the required period
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Pausing a Schedule:
Pausing the schedule is the best practice for temporarily stopping a process. This maintains the
schedule's configuration and simply suspends its execution for the specified period.
Maintaining Configuration:
Pausing the schedule ensures that once the period is over, the same schedule can be resumed
without needing to recreate it or adjust any start/end dates. This approach is simpler and minimizes
the risk of configuration errors.
Reactivation:
After the required period, the schedule can be easily unpaused to resume its normal operation.
Reference:
Blue Prism documentation on scheduling and best practices for managing schedules.
Question 8
The Process Controller needs to be able to view Exception items from both the Work Queue screen
within the Control room, and from the Session Logs According to best practice, which TWO options
would the Developer recommend?
- A. Use the column filters available within Blue Prism Settings > Audit > Process Log settings
- B. Call the Exception Stage details and tag them to the Item prior to Mark Item as Exception
- C. Loop through the Work Queue items in Exception and tag with the Exception Details
- D. Use the Scan Processes feature within the Blue Prism Settings > Exception Type to identify items
- E. Ensure that the Stage logging is enabled within each Exception Properties
Answer:
BE
Explanation:
Tagging Exception Items:
By calling the Exception Stage details and tagging them to the item before marking it as an exception,
it ensures that detailed information about the exception is captured and can be viewed later. This
helps in identifying the cause of the exception and provides valuable context.
Stage Logging:
Enabling stage logging within each exception properties ensures that all exception details are logged.
This allows the Process Controller to view detailed exception information from the session logs,
providing a comprehensive view of what went wrong.
Benefits:
These two approaches ensure that exception details are both tagged to the work queue items and
logged in the session logs, making it easier for the Process Controller to review and analyze
exceptions from different interfaces within Blue Prism.
Reference:
Blue Prism documentation on exception handling, tagging, and logging.
Question 9
The Developer is importing a Blue Prism release file.
What will happen if there is already a Business Object or VBO with the same name in the
environment they are importing into?
- A. It will be imported with a suffix (2> on the file name
- B. The existing Object will be updated with the imported details
- C. A conflict error message will advise user to rename file before importing
- D. User will be prompted to rename new object or overwrite old object
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Importing Release Files:
When importing a Blue Prism release file, the system checks for conflicts with existing objects or
VBOs in the environment.
Handling Conflicts:
If there is already a Business Object or VBO with the same name in the environment, the user is
prompted to either rename the new object or overwrite the existing one.
This ensures that the user can manage potential conflicts and maintain control over which version of
the object is active in the environment.
Reference:
Blue Prism documentation on importing release files and handling conflicts.
Question 10
How can input data be added to a Startup Parameter before the process runs?
- A. Navigate to Startup Parameters in the Control Room Scheduler
- B. Navigate to Startup Parameters in the System area and select the correct Process
- C. Right-click the item in the Work Queue and select Startup Parameters
- D. Right-click the session in Control Room and select Startup Parameters
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Startup Parameters:
Startup parameters allow a process to be configured with specific input data before it runs. This can
be used to customize the behavior of the process based on the provided inputs.
Setting Startup Parameters:
In Control Room, you can set startup parameters by right-clicking the session for the process you
want to run and selecting "Startup Parameters".
This allows you to input the necessary data directly before the process starts, ensuring it runs with
the correct configuration.
Reference:
Blue Prism documentation on setting and using startup parameters.
Question 11
A Blue Prism Process works successfully when testing in the Process Studio but terminates in Control
Room due to the exception stating screen elements were not found What should the Developer
check first?
- A. The correct Spy mode was used to identify elements
- B. Application Modeller has a unique match for the screen element
- C. Wait Stages have been used effectively
- D. The Attach page is published in the Business Object
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Spy Mode:
Blue Prism uses different spy modes (e.g., Win32, HTML, Region, etc.) to interact with various types
of applications and elements within those applications.
Testing in Process Studio vs. Control Room:
A process may work in Process Studio because elements are correctly identified during testing, but it
may fail in Control Room if the wrong spy mode was used, leading to elements not being found in the
live environment.
First Check:
Verify that the correct spy mode was used to identify the screen elements. This ensures that the
process can reliably locate and interact with these elements during runtime.
Reference:
Blue Prism documentation on spy modes and element identification.
Question 12
The Developer is debugging an action page in a Business Object by stepping through the stages
which interact with the application. What will happen when they click Reset on an Action page in the
Business Object?
- A. Focus will return to the Start stage in the Process Studio
- B. Focus will move to the Start stage on the Launch action
- C. Application window will be closed
- D. Application window will remain open
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Reset Action in Business Object:
When debugging an action page within a Business Object, clicking the Reset button will reset the
focus to the Start stage of the current page.
Launch Action:
If the current action page includes stages that interact with an application, the focus will typically
return to the Start stage of the Launch action, ensuring that the application is in the correct state for
the next steps.
Application Window:
Resetting the action page does not automatically close the application window unless explicitly
programmed to do so within the actions.
Reference:
Blue Prism documentation on debugging and Business Object behavior during resets.
Question 13
The Blue Prism Server Service has been stopped for 4 hours
Once it is restarted what will happen to any missed schedules which should have executed while it
was stopped?
- A. All schedules will be marked as Exception
- B. Only schedules within a defined timeframe are executed
- C. All schedules will be executed in the order they were added
- D. Only schedules within the last 60 minutes are executed
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Upon restarting the Blue Prism Server Service, the scheduler will check for any schedules that should
have been executed during the downtime. Based on the system configuration, only the schedules
within a defined timeframe will be executed. This is typically set in the ‘Execute missed schedules
from the past n minutes’ setting within the scheduler configuration. If a schedule is discovered that
should have executed multiple times within the configured period, it will only be executed
once.
Schedules that fall outside of this defined timeframe will not be executed and may be marked
as exceptions depending on the system settings
Question 14
Which statements are TRUE about the Blue Prism Release Manager"'
Select the TWO correct answers.
- A. Release files can be imported by anyone regardless of their user permissions
- B. You must have a defined Package prior to a Release being generated
- C. Modify Package wizard will update previous components released within your environment
- D. Only Release (bprelease) or Skill packages (.bpskill) files can be imported
- E. The Verify wizard will test a Package's components for changes since the last Release
Answer:
BD
Explanation:
Defined Package Requirement:
To generate a release, you must first define a package. The package includes all the components
(processes, objects, etc.) that will be included in the release.
File Types for Import:
Blue Prism allows importing of two types of files: Release files (.bprelease) and Skill packages
(.bpskill). These are the only file types that can be imported via the Release Manager.
Incorrect Statements:
A . Release files cannot be imported by anyone regardless of their user permissions. Importing
releases requires specific user permissions.
C . The Modify Package wizard does not update previous components released within your
environment; it modifies the package for the current release.
E . The Verify wizard does not test a Package's components for changes since the last release; it
ensures all components are included and dependencies are met.
Reference:
Blue Prism documentation on Release Manager and package management.
Question 15
Please refer to the exhibits.
The Output Data Item is a Text data type
What will be the outcome when the Developer clicks Go in Process Studio'?
- A. Data Item Output = &
- B. An Internal Exception will be thrown
- C. Data Item Output=A
- D. A System Exception will be thrown
Answer:
C
Explanation:
Input Data Item:
The input data item is "Blue Prism!".
Decision Criteria:
Path A: Len([Input]) = 10
This checks if the length of the input string is 10. "Blue Prism!" has 11 characters, so this condition is
false.
Path B: Right([Input], 6) = "Prism!"
This checks if the rightmost 6 characters of the input string are "Prism!". This condition is true for the
input "Blue Prism!".
Flow Execution:
Since Path B's condition is true, the flow will take Path B.
Calculation Stage:
Answer B: The calculation stage sets the Output data item to "B".
Final Output:
The Output data item will be set to "B".
However, based on the diagram provided and the path conditions, it's clear that "Right([Input], 6) =
"Prism!"" is true for the given input "Blue Prism!". This means the flow will follow Path B, and the
final result in the Output data item will be "B".
