How to Pass the Blue Prism ASD01 Exam: Comprehensive Designing Blue Prism Process Solutions Guide and Tips

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?

It’s technically possible for one business object to call another. Outside ofusing utility objects are any of the following valid reasons why you would want to do this?

Consider the following high-level design. Thesolution is intended to read medical data from one application in order to update another. An input file is prepared by an overnight batch run for the solution to work through each morning before patients arrive. Usually the input file is fairly small butat certain times each month the file is much larger.

Which of these options should be considered be the process solution designer to guarantee the quality of the end-to-end solution? (Choose four.)

Pacific West Banking has a payments process that automatically receives pending payments from multiple regions into their payment system (Paytex).

Paytex contains a queue of cases awaiting payment. When processing the case manually an agent must use two other systems, the core banking system (DataPlus) and online account checker (FireWire).

The manual processing must perform the following steps:

• Open the next case where the status is null in Paytex
• Set the status to “In Progress” in Paytex
• Validate source account in DataPlus
• Confirm source funds in DataPlus
• Checkfor fraud flags in Paytex
• Confirm recipient IBAN details in Firewire
• Perform payment in Paytex
• Update case in Paytex queue. Add payment confirmation number to case and set status to “Completed”
• Where cases cannot be fulfilled due to validation errors (e.g. invalid account details, insufficient funds, suspected fraud etc.) the customers will be contacted by the agent to resolve.

A proposed Blue Prism solution with the following properties has been created to automate the payment processing:

• There willbe one Blue Prism process that will perform the steps described above.
• Where a case is an exception the status will be set in Paytex to “Manual Review” in order that the manual team can pick up the case from Paytex and contact the customer and conclude the case.
• It is anticipated that to meet the SLAs of the expected volumes up to 5 instances of the Blue Prism process will be required to run concurrently.
• A Blue Prism work queue will be used to host the payments. The queue will be configured for only 1attempt per case and the key will be (region) & {source account number}.
• The process will be started by the scheduler at 06:00 and will stop at 05:50.

Which of the following are correct? (Choose three.)

The status of a Work Queue can be used as a method of recording that work has been done so far on a Work Queue item.

Please consider the following statements:

1. For MI, to easily see how far an item has beenworked.

2. To aid manual working of exceptions, providing the Item Status can inform staff what work is still outstanding on an item that needs manually.

3. To enable Work Queue items to be safely retried, a process can use the item status to know which updates have already been performed so that they are not repeated.

4. To record the Customer’s Surname

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 andlook 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 the volume of incoming cases is such that 1 Resource PC can easily handle the workload, which of the following steps for an automated solution should be part of the ‘Preparation’ phase of an automated process?

The following Object Design has been created for a mainframe banking application.
