AD01 sample questions

Question 1

A Blue Prism solution works fine when developing and testing it in Process and Object studio but when it is run in Control Room exceptions occur because of screen elements not being found.

What is the most likely cause?

Accepted Answer

The most likely cause for the errors seen in Control Room is that best practice use of wait stages has not been followed.

Answer

The most likely cause for the errors is that your application has changed.

Answer

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.

Answer

The most likely cause for the exceptions is that best practice exception handling has not been incorporated into the Process.

Question 2

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 identify the same element any longer, your object flow is giving you ‘Element not found’ exceptions.

Which of the following statements is true?

Accepted Answer

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 URL. The developer needs to ensure that any changeable attributes are unticked.

Answer

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.

Answer

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.

Answer

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.

Question 3

When automating a Windows application what type of stage is configured to perform a Global Send Key Events?

Accepted Answer

Write Stage

Answer

Notes Stage

Answer

Read Stage

Answer

Navigate Stage

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

The wait stages after read and write stages should be removed they are not required and are slowing the flow down

Answer

The flow shown in the diagram is correct, the wait stages are all adding a high level of robustness to the action

Answer

The wait stages after read stages should be removed, the wait stages after write stages should be left because the application will have been changed

Answer

Only the first wait stage in this flow is required, all the other wait stages should be removed.

Question 5

When entering an option within the Training Order system the relevant option number is entered into the Option number field as below. The Option number input field has been spied in Blue Prism:

The following attribute set has been returned by Application Modeller:

Which Attribute can be un-ticked to ensure consistent visibility of the element to Blue Prism?

Accepted Answer

Window Text

Answer

Visible

Answer

Screen Visible

Answer

Class Name

Question 6

**Case Study: FinSecure Bank Automation** FinSecure Bank wants to automate its 'Account Closure' process. The process starts when a request is added to a Blue Prism Work Queue. Each queue item contains the Account Number, Customer Name, and Closure Reason. The automation must log into a core banking mainframe application, navigate to the account closure screen, enter the account details, and process the closure. A key requirement is that if the mainframe application is slow or unresponsive, the process should attempt to close the account up to three times. If it fails all three times, the queue item must be marked as a System Exception with the specific error message from the mainframe. Additionally, a 'high priority' flag in the process needs to be checked. If this flag is true, a notification should be sent to a supervisor, but the process should still attempt the closure as normal. This notification logic must not interfere with the main exception handling for the closure itself. Which process design best meets all these requirements? ```mermaid flowchart TD subgraph Main Process A(Get Next Item) --> B{Item Found?} B -->|Yes| C[Process Item Sub-page] C --> D{Success?} D -->|Yes| E[Mark Completed] D -->|No| F[Mark Exception] F --> A E --> A B -->|No| G([End]) end ```

Accepted Answer

On the 'Process Item' sub-page, first use a Decision stage to check the high priority flag and call a notification sub-page if true. Then, place the mainframe interaction stages inside a dedicated exception block. The recover path should increment a retry counter and loop back to the interaction stages. If retries are exhausted, re-throw the exception to be caught on the Main Page, which then marks the queue item.

Answer

On the 'Process Item' sub-page, create a single large exception block around all stages. In the recover path, increment a retry counter. If the counter is less than 3, loop back to the beginning. If the high priority flag is true, use a separate action to send the notification from within the recover path.

Answer

On the 'Process Item' sub-page, place the mainframe interaction stages inside an exception block. The recover path increments a retry counter and uses a Resume stage to loop back. A separate, outer exception block handles the final failure. The notification logic is placed on the Main Page after an item is marked as an exception.

Answer

Create two separate processes. Process A gets items and checks the priority flag, adding items to a second queue for Process B if high priority. Process B contains the retry logic and marks items as completed or exception. This ensures the logic is separated.

Question 7

Examine the following process flow:

The Process is intended to attempt to perform the processing in the recover block, Block 3, amaximum 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?

Accepted Answer

[Attempts] < [Max]

Answer

[Attempts] > [Max]

Answer

[Attempts] = [Max]

Answer

[Attempts] + 1

Question 8

Examine the following process flow:

The Orders Collection contains the following data:

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:

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:
