ASD01 Designing Blue Prism Process Solutions Questions and Answers

Consider the following steps for a theoretical manual process.

• Check in input folder any newfiles.
• If there are no files check again later as files can arrive anytime, and there is no limit to the number of files that may come.
• Open the next available file.
• Take the first case.
• Start System X and find the case details.
• If the case can’t be found, move to the next one.
• After finding the case in System X, fetch additional case details from System Y.
• Again if the case can’t be found, move to the next one.
• Analyse all the data to see if System Z should be updated.
• If the data does not meet the requirements, add notes indicating this to System X and Y and move to the next case.
• If the data does meet the requirements, update the case in System Z.
• Add notes to System X and Y and move to the next case.
• At the end of the file, go back and look for another.
• Stop checking for new files at 16:00 and finish any remaining cases.
• When all work is complete create a report of the day’s exception cases.
• Close down Systems X, Y and Z.

If it is possible that there are long intervals between files arriving, what are the alternatives the process should take to control System X, System Y and System Z? (Choose two.)

AnInsurance company has created 4 Blue Prism processes:

1. Change of Address

2. Claims Processing

3. Renewals

4. 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 at6am a scheduler starts:

• 3 instances of the Renewals process on the same virtual machine
• 2 instances of the Claims Processing process on 2 different virtual machines
• 1 instance of the Change of Address process on its own virtual machine

How many licenses will be consumed by the running processes?

A process is required for a telecoms company to work cases supplied via a daily Excel file. Although the file will only contain around 1000 rows, the average case time is such that the workload is far too big for one machine to complete in a day, so the solution has been designed with multiple machines in mind. One machine will load the work queue while the others wait, then once the queue is ready all machines will work it together. The requirements state that the input file is machine generated, has a known format, is generally clean but may contain exceptions – rows with an empty cell, partial phone numbers, or accounts that don’t exist.

What should the solution do to combat this problem?

MedBank have recently introduced a new Credit Card platform Cred+. There is a requirement to migrate account and card details from the existing banking platform PCBS on to Cred+.

Account IDs of the cases requiring data transfer will be held on a SQL database. The requirement is that, for each account ID specified on the SQLdatabase, the following data must be read from the PCBS application and input into the Cred+ application:

• Account ID
• Product Type
• Name
• Address
• Date of Birth
• Card PAN (Primary Account Number or credit card number)
• Card Issue Date
• Card Expiry Date

Once the data has been successfully input into Cred+ the correct record on the SQL database will be updated to indicate data transfer is complete. All work queues will be encrypted, however due to the sensitivity of the data, MedBank insist that a single robot account does not have access to both PCBS and CRED+ systems.

The following high level design has been proposed:

Which of the following statements about the solution design are correct? (Choose two.)

SanQuest Bank’s call center regularly receives requests fromcustomers for the exact amount required to clear their loan. This is a complicated calculation that is prone to human error. The bank has decided to use Blue Prism to perform the calculation and is considering amending its front end system OneBase to allowa user to click a button to request a Loan Consolidation Amount.

They plan to communicate with Blue Prism using web services. Consider the two proposed designs:

Here a Blue Prism object is exposed as a web service. OneBase calls this service providingthe account number. The Blue Prism object add the case to a work queue and then returns the Case ID to complete the web service call.

A Blue Prism process works the queue and harvests the data required to perform the calculation. The same Blue Prism process calls a OneBase web service and provides the load settlement figure. OneBase completes the web service call by returning a success flag.

Here the Blue Process that harvests the data is exposed a web service with the loan settlement figure as an output. OneBase calls the web service and provides the account number. The BluePrism process harvests the data and completes the web service call by providing the loan settlement figure.

Considering Blue Prism best practice which of the following statements is correct?
