A Developer is following the best practices to prepare the Process for a Production release
Which of the following should NOT be implemented?
Answer : B
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.

A Developer has a number of cases which need to be loaded into a Work Queue. The source data collection contains a field to indicate the customer account type as either Business, Personal or Joint Which method should the Developer use to ensure that the Business Customer cases are worked first?
Answer : A
Understanding Priorities:
In Blue Prism, work queue items with a lower priority value are processed before those with a higher priority value.
Setting Priorities:
To ensure that Business Customer cases are worked first, the priority for these cases should be set to the lowest value.
For Business cases, set the priority to '0'.
For all other cases (Personal and Joint), set the priority to '1'.
Implementation:
While adding items to the work queue, use the Add to Queue action to set the priority.
Ensure Business cases have priority '0' and others have priority '1'.

How many Full Time Employees will the generated Report include?
Answer : B
Loop Structure:
The loop iterates through each row in the Data collection.
For each row, it checks the 'Full Time?' condition.
Condition:
If 'Full Time?' is true, the process continues to 'Generate Report of Full Time Employees'.
If 'Full Time?' is false, the row is removed from the collection.
Loop Execution:
Initially, there are 4 rows in the Data collection.
If any row is not full-time, it is removed.
Outcome:
The decision to generate the report happens only if all rows satisfy the 'Full Time?' condition.
Since the diagram does not specify that any rows are full-time and the decision to remove rows occurs based on a negative condition, all rows could potentially be removed.
Final Report:
Given the process flow and assuming all rows do not meet the 'Full Time?' condition, no rows are left for generating the report.

All Data Items are of Text Data Type
What is the output once all stages are executed?
Answer : C
Data Items:
Data1: 'AR34675 is your order no for item REF4399'
Data2: 'USD18.99 refunded for Item CAB30981'
Data3: 'Acc# - 4320; Name - John Doe'
Calculation Expression:
'Recent Activity for '& [Data3]& ' -' &
' Orders: ' & [Data1] &
' Refunds: ' & [Data2]
Breaking Down the Expression:
Recent Activity for '& [Data3]& ' -':
Concatenates 'Recent Activity for ' with Data3 and ' -'.
Data3 is 'Acc# - 4320; Name - John Doe'.
Result: 'Recent Activity for Acc# - 4320; Name - John Doe -'
' Orders: ' & [Data1]:
Adds ' Orders: ' to Data1.
Data1 is 'AR34675 is your order no for item REF4399'.
Result: ' Orders: AR34675 is your order no for item REF4399'.
' Refunds: ' & [Data2]:
Adds ' Refunds: ' to Data2.
Data2 is 'USD18.99 refunded for Item CAB30981'.
Result: ' Refunds: USD18.99 refunded for Item CAB30981'.
Combining the Results:
'Recent Activity for Acc# - 4320; Name - John Doe - Orders: AR34675 is your order no for item REF4399 Refunds: USD18.99 refunded for Item CAB30981'
Final Output:
Remove extraneous details to match the correct format:
'Recent Activity for 4320 -- Orders: AR34675 Refunds: CAB30981'

Under what TWO conditions will the process move to the 'Close Down' page directly from the Stop? Decision stage during runtime?
Answer : A, B
The process will move to the 'Close Down' page directly from the 'Stop?' Decision stage under two conditions:
The specified Stop time has passed: This condition checks if the current local time exceeds the configured stop time. In the provided Decision Properties, the condition LocalTime() > [Stop After Time] evaluates if the current time is beyond the stop time.
'Request Stop' received from Control Room: This condition is checked by the IsStopRequested() function. If the Control Room sends a stop request, this function returns true, causing the process to move to the 'Close Down' page.
Other conditions like Stop After Items and an immediate stop request from the Control Room are not mentioned in the process depicted in the exhibits. Therefore, only the two conditions mentioned above apply.
The Decision stage properties and conditions as shown in the provided exhibit.

A Work Queue is in place to calculate invoice prices for Gas, Electric and Dual fuel payments Tagging has been configured to tag each work queue item with 'Gas', 'Electric' or 'Dual' How would you configure the Get Next Item action to retrieve items from the queue that are tagged with Gas cr Electric?
Answer : D
To retrieve items from a work queue tagged with 'Gas' or 'Electric' and exclude items tagged with 'Dual', you need to use a tag filter that excludes the 'Dual' tag. In Blue Prism, the correct way to exclude items tagged with 'Dual' is to use the '-' operator before the tag name, like -Dual. This ensures that only items tagged with either 'Gas' or 'Electric' but not 'Dual' are retrieved.
The Blue Prism documentation on work queues and tagging explains how to use the '-' operator to exclude specific tags.
Blue Prism Enterprise is shipped with Visual Business Objects (VBO) However these need to be imported into the Environment Where can these VBOs be found?
Answer : C
Blue Prism Visual Business Objects (VBOs) are pre-built automation components that need to be imported into the environment. These VBOs are stored in the Blue Prism installation directory.
**[Root Directory]\Program Files\Blue Prism Limited\Blue Prism Automate\VBO**: This is the correct directory where the VBOs can be found. It contains the necessary VBO files that can be imported into Blue Prism.
Other options do not accurately represent the location of the VBOs:
Option A: Incorrect path format.
Option B: Refers to a training directory, which is not the standard location for VBOs.
Option D: Too general and does not specify the correct sub-directory for VBOs.
Reference Refer to Blue Prism installation documentation for the location of Visual Business Objects.
