blue prism apd01 practice test

A PDD has been created which includes a requirement to log in to an application called CDS. The CDS
application only allows a user account to be logged into the application on one machine at a time.
The client wishes to hold the credentials for logging into CDS in the Blue Prism Credential store.
It has been calculated that the automated solution will require 3 resource PC's to enable the case
volume to be worked within SLA’s.
Which is the most appropriate design decision to accommodate the above requirements?

• A. Create user accounts and sets of Credentials per Resource PC in the Blue Prism Credential Manager for the CDS Application.
• B. Ask IT to enable concurrent logins to the CDS application for Blue Prism User Accounts
• C. Login in to the CDS application manually and let Blue Prism take over once the login is complete
• D. Create a single Credential in the Blue Prism Credential Manager for the CDS Application. Use a Blue Prism Environment Lock to ensure that only one Resource PC can be logged in to the CDS application at a time

Which of the following statements regarding Blue Prism Credentials are true?
1. The Business Object; Internal - Credentials cannot retrieve encrypted credentials from the Blue
Prism database
2. It is best practice to hold application credentials within the Process that requires them
3. It is best practice to hold application credentials within the Object that requires them
4. It is possible to hold Blue Prism Credentials in an unencrypted state

• A. 1 only
• B. 2 only
• C. 3 and 4
• D. None

A business requirement exists to be able to distinguish between cases that have failed due to ‘not
being an adult’ and cases that have failed due to ‘invalid ID’ based on the exception detail Blue Prism
has captured. The following Process configuration has been built as a solution.

Which of the following statements are correct?

• A. The Process configuration will meet the requirements
• B. The Process will fail because 2 Recover stages lead to a single Resume stage
• C. The Process configuration will not meet the requirements because the Exception Detail is not captured for the two Business Exceptions
• D. If the Valid ID stage results in a ‘No’ answer, the Process will not throw an exception.

The following sub-page in a process creates an order in an order system.

The Actions called perform the following steps:
Navigate to New Order – The application is navigated to a new order screen. There is a wait stage to
confirm the navigation is successful – if this wait stage times out, an exception is configured which
will bubble up to this page.
Enter Order Details – The Order details are entered triggering a ‘Confirm Order’ window. At this
page, the order has not been submitted. There is a wait stage to confirm the ‘Confirm Order’ window
has appeared – if this stage times out, an exception is configured which will bubble up to this page.
Submit Order – The order is confirmed and placed in the Client’s order system. There is a wait stage,
for a reference number, configured that the order has been successfully submitted. If this wait stage
times out, an exception is configured which will bubble up to this page. There is a known bug in the
application which results in the application occasionally freezing when an order is submitted but
before the reference number is displayed, thus leaving the user uncertain if the order has been
successfully submitted or not.
Get Reference Number – A resultant reference number is read from the application.
In order to build some resilience into the process, some retry logic is to be added. Which of the
below options offers the best retry solution?

• A. Option
• B. Option
• C. Option
• D. Option

Which of the following are examples of a Business Exception?
1. A Business Requirement states that Blue Prism should not work on any accounts with a balance
greater than £1,000,000. Blue Prism has successfully read the balance field and it has returned a
value of £1,100,000.
2. Blue Prism has detected an unexpected pop up
3. A Blue Prism wait stage has timed out waiting for a Web page to load
4. The data input to the process has been validated and failed

• A. All of them
• B. 2 and 3
• C. 1 and 4
• D. None of them

When using Control Room, which of the following statements are correct? (Choose three.)

• A. A process can be run on multiple resources at the same time
• B. A resource can run multiple processes at the same time
• C. Only one instance of each process can run at any one time
• D. A resource PC can only run one process at time
• E. A process must be published before it can be run in Control Room

An Insurance company has created 4 Blue Prism processes:
Change of Address
Claims Processing
Renewals
Order Letter
The Order Letter process is not a published process but is called as a sub process by each of the 3
other processes.
Each day at 6am a scheduler starts:
2 instances of the Renewals process on the same virtual machine
9 instances of the Claims Processing process on 3 different virtual machines
1 instance of the Change of Address process on its own virtual machine
How many robot licenses will be consumed by the running processes?

• A. 5
• B. 12
• C. 6
• D. 3

An attempt to start a Process on resource BP0100 has resulted in the following error message:
BP0100 is too busy to run that process
Which of the below is the most likely cause of this error?

• A. Resource BP0100 is offline
• B. There is more than one instance of the Blue Prism resourcepc command running on resource BP0100
• C. The BPServer service is not running on the Blue Prism Application Server
• D. A Process is running on resource BP0100 that calls a Business Object with a run mode of ‘Exclusive’

A retail bank has promoted 5 Blue Prism processes to production:
Email Poller
Customer Onboarding
Amend Contact Details
Direct Debit Cancellations
Onboarding Reporting
One instance of the email Poller process will run 24/7 feeding work queues for the other two
processes.
Two concurrent instances of the Customer Onboarding process will run between 6am and 11pm each
day on the same VM.
Two concurrent instances of the Amend Contact Details process will run between 8am and 8pm each
day on two VMs.
One instance of the Direct Debit Cancellations process will run between 6am and 4pm each day on
the same VM as the Email Poller process. The scheduler that starts the Direct Debit Cancellations
process is configured to run the Onboarding Reporting process when the Direct Debit Cancellations
process has successfully completed.
How many robot licenses are required?

• A. 3
• B. 4
• C. 5
• D. 6
