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?
Answer : B, E
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.

What are the TRUE statements about a Blue Prism Business Object?
Select the TWO correct responses.
Answer : A, E
Defined within the Object Layer:
Blue Prism Business Objects are defined and created within the Object layer. This is where objects interact with external applications, providing a way to encapsulate the application's functionality into reusable components.
Actions Built to No Specific Hierarchy:
Actions within a Business Object are not required to follow a specific hierarchy. They are built to perform specific tasks or operations and can be executed independently of one another.
Incorrect Options:
B . Will always have a Launch action: Not all Business Objects require a Launch action, as it depends on the nature of the application being automated.
C . Can be used as a stand-alone process: Business Objects cannot be used as stand-alone processes. They are designed to be invoked by processes.
D . Do not share any stages with the Process Studio: Business Objects share many stages with Process Studio, such as calculations, decisions, and data items.

What is wrong with how this Main Page is handling exceptions''
Answer : C
Exception Handling Best Practices:
Proper exception handling involves not only recovering from an error but also ensuring the system is ready for subsequent operations.
This typically includes resetting the application or any global data to a known good state.
Issue in the Main Page:
In the provided diagram, the flow directly connects the Recover stage to the Resume stage without any intermediate logic.
This is problematic because the system might be left in an inconsistent state after an error.
Required Logic:
Implement logic between the Recover and Resume stages to reset the application or any relevant data.
This ensures that after handling an exception, the system is in a known good state and can continue processing new items reliably.

An error has occurred in the Update Data' action and has been captured by the Recovery stage. As part of the retry logic, the 'No' path has been taken How should the properties be configured for the process to throw the exception that was encountered on the Update Data action''
Answer : D
Exception Handling:
When an error occurs and is captured by the Recovery stage, it is often necessary to re-throw the same exception after attempting any retry logic.
Preserve Exception Details:
The option to 'Preserve the type and detail of the current exception' ensures that the original exception details are not lost and can be propagated further.
This is crucial for accurate logging and troubleshooting, as it keeps the original context of the exception.
Configuration:
In the Exception stage properties, tick the 'Preserve the type and detail of the current exception' checkbox.
Leave other fields such as 'Exception Type' and 'Exception Detail' to their defaults, as these are unnecessary when preserving the existing exception details.

In the UAT environment the process has been configured to get the input data from a file and a Data Item has been created to hold the file path However, in the Production environment, the location of this file has changed to a shared network drive.
What should the Developer do to ensure the correct file path is passed to the process without having to update the process between environments''
Answer : C
Data Item Exposure:
Setting the Data Item exposure to 'Environment' allows the value to be consistent across different environments without changing the process.
Environment Variables:
Environment Variables can be used to store the file path, ensuring the correct path is used regardless of the environment (UAT, Production, etc.).
Implementation:
Create an Environment Variable to store the file path.
In the process, set the Data Item to use this Environment Variable.

A Developer has built, tested and deployed the Credentials Manager functionality to ail the automations in the Production environment
What TWO additional functionalities are now available for the Developer to use when creating future automations?
Answer : B, D
Active Directory Integration:
With Active Directory Integration, user authentication can be managed through the organization's Active Directory, enabling better user management and security.
Encrypt and Decrypt Work Queue Item Data:
With the Credentials Manager functionality deployed, it is possible to encrypt and decrypt sensitive data within work queue items, enhancing data security.
Functionality Added:
These functionalities enhance security and streamline user management in future automations.

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'.
