Question 1

Which area of Blue Prism is used to set up and edit Credential information?

Accepted Answer

E

Explanation: Credential information in Blue Prism is managed centrally within the System Manager. Specifically, the "Credentials" section is located under the "Security" area. This interface allows authorized users to create, edit, delete, and manage the permissions for credentials that will be used by Digital Workers during process automation. This centralized approach ensures that sensitive information like usernames and passwords is securely stored and managed separately from the process logic itself, adhering to security best practices.

Question 2

Which of the following statements best describes a Blue Prism Local Data Item?

Accepted Answer

D

Explanation: In Blue Prism, the scope of a Data Item is determined by the page on which it is created. A "Local Data Item" is one that is placed on any page other than the Main Page of a Process or Object. Its visibility and accessibility are strictly confined to that specific page. This design enforces data encapsulation, ensuring that the logic on one page does not unintentionally interfere with data on another. Conversely, Data Items created on the Main Page are considered "global" to that Process or Object and can be accessed from any of its pages.

Question 3

DRAG DROP Drag and drop the Blue Prism stage names on the left, onto the placement boxes (A- E) so that the dropped stage name corresponds with the image of the Blue Prism stage beside it: https://kxbjsyuhceggsyvxdkof.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/file-images/Blue_Prism_ASDEV01/page_12_img_1.jpg

Accepted Answer

Explanation: The icons in Blue Prism Process Studio are color-coded (typically blue for process stages) and shape-defined to distinguish their functional roles within an automation workflow: A (Page Reference): Although the icon shown (wavy bottom) is technically the Wait Stage icon in the standard palette, in the context of this specific exam's drag-and-drop logic (where "Wait" is not an option), it occupies the slot for Page/Reference/Wait logic. B (Read Stage): Defined by a rectangle with a left-pointing chevron . It is used to pull data from a target application into Blue Prism. C (Navigate Stage): Defined by a rectangle with a right-pointing chevron . It is used to perform actions like clicking buttons or opening menus. D (Write Stage): Defined by a rectangle with inward-pointing (concave) chevrons . It is used to send data from Blue Prism to a target application. E (Exception Stage): Distinctively marked by red vertical bars on either side of a right-pointing chevron. It is used to trigger a failure or error handling routine.

Question 4

Examine the following recover flow taken from a Blue Prism Process: https://kxbjsyuhceggsyvxdkof.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/file-images/Blue_Prism_ASDEV01/page_22_img_1.jpg The 'Exception Detail' data item has no initial value and has a data type of text The Calculation stage "Save Exception Detail' will output the current exception detail to the 'Exception Detail' data item What expression would you use in the 'Save Exception Detail' stage to achieve this?

Accepted Answer

EXCEPTIONDETAIL()

Explanation: In Blue Prism, when a process enters a Recover stage, it captures information about the error that occurred. To extract the specific text message associated with that error, the built-in function ExceptionDetail() is used. This function takes no arguments and returns a string containing the description of the current exception. In the provided flow, the Calculation stage "Save Exception Detail" utilizes this expression to assign the error message to the "Exception Detail" data item. This allows the developer to log the error or use it for conditional logic before the Resume stage clears the exception from memory.

Question 5

What is a Blue Prism Collection?

Accepted Answer

C

Explanation: A Collection is a fundamental, complex data type within Blue Prism. It is a specialized form of a Data Item designed to store structured data in a tabular format, consisting of defined columns (fields) and a variable number of rows. This structure is analogous to a spreadsheet or a database table, making it ideal for managing sets of related data, such as records retrieved from an application, items to be processed in a loop, or the contents of a work queue.

Question 6

Which of the following statements are correct when considering an element's attributes in Application Modeller? (Select all items which apply)

Accepted Answer

A, C

Explanation: In Blue Prism's Application Modeller, the developer selects which attributes to use for element identification by ticking the checkbox in the 'Match' column (A). These attributes are not invented by Blue Prism; they are properties exposed by the target application's underlying technology (e.g., HTML DOM, Windows API) and are read by the spy tool (C). The initial set of attributes selected by Blue Prism is merely a suggestion and almost always requires a developer's review to ensure it is robust and optimal for reliable automation, as dynamic or non-unique attributes may have been included.

Question 7

In Blue Prism, what is a stage Expression?

Accepted Answer

A

Explanation: In Blue Prism, an expression is a statement that is evaluated at runtime to produce a value. It is essentially a formula constructed from data items, literals, operators, and built-in functions. Expressions are fundamental components used within various stages, most notably the Calculation stage to compute a result and the Decision stage to evaluate a condition to either True or False, thereby directing the process flow. The expression itself is the logic or formula, not the resulting output or descriptive text.

Question 8

When a Work Queue item is currently being processed by a Digital Worker what happens to the queue item?

Accepted Answer

C

Explanation: When a Digital Worker (runtime resource) retrieves an item from a Work Queue using the 'Get Next Item' action, the item's status is changed from 'Pending' to 'Locked'. This locking mechanism is fundamental to Blue Prism's queue management. It ensures that the specific item is exclusively assigned to that Digital Worker, preventing any other resource from simultaneously processing the same item. The lock is maintained until the item is updated with a final status (Completed or Exception) or the lock's timeout period expires.

Question 9

Which of the following are examples of a Business Exception? (Select ail items which apply)

Accepted Answer

A, B

Explanation: A Business Exception occurs when a process encounters a situation that, while predictable, deviates from the normal processing path due to a specific business rule. It is not a technical or system failure. A transfer request exceeding a predefined value limit (A) is a classic example of a business rule violation. Similarly, input data failing a predefined validation check (B) means the case cannot be processed according to business requirements. Both scenarios represent expected, rule-based exceptions that the process should be designed to handle gracefully, often by routing the case for manual review.

Question 10

Process rules or logic are evaluated in Blue Prism using which type of stage?

Accepted Answer

B

Explanation: The Decision stage is the fundamental component in Blue Prism used for evaluating business rules and process logic. It is designed to assess an expression that resolves to a binary outcome: True or False. Based on this result, the process flow is directed down one of two distinct paths, allowing for conditional logic and the implementation of business rules. The diamond shape of the stage is a standard flowchart symbol representing a decision point, reinforcing its purpose in controlling the process flow based on logical evaluations.
