Actions are used to implement the logic of a Business Object. Each Action contains data
items having the information used by each action along with a set of stages.
To publish an Action, it has to be called by the Processes or any other software. An Action
can also remain private. When you make an action private, it is only available to other
actions in the Business Object.
An Action always starts with the Start stage and finishes at the End stage. Between both
these stages, other stages responsible to carry out the task are present.

Multiple-Part processes are used in a scenario where a case needs to be
worked in multiple parts at different items.
It comes with parent-child relationships where individual work queues
items must be linked to a single request.
This can also be used where work is driven from an external
system rather than from the Blue Prism work queue.
Multiple-part processes can be used where the requests are added
throughout a day and must be executed in the service-level agreement
period.

Through this, you can configure only one Application.
But, you can go forward and override or Replace Existing
Configuration with New Configuration.
Apart from this, you can also answer the interview by adhering to the local naming
convention, where it is typically {element type} -{element name}
Example:
To create sections for the screen with each part, the Application Modeller
makes the support easier and mitigates the risk of being repeatedly spying

Question 24

80. Question 24
What do you understand by the
“Preserve” checkbox and when to
use it?
Blue Prism
Interview Questions
When you check in the Preserve checkbox, the Exception Type and
Exception Details fields are disabled.
So, when we check-in the Preserve checkbox, the current exception is to be
re-released or thrown again, and no further details are necessary.
Due to this, the Preserve checkbox must be used in the Recovery Mode
which is between the Recover stage and a Resume stage.
Also, if you use the checkbox outside the Recovery mode it will generate an
exception.

What is the Active Accessibility
interface in Blue Prism?
Question 2

87. Question 2
What is the Active Accessibility
interface in Blue Prism?
Blue Prism
Interview Questions The Active Accessibility interface is much slower than the default Win32 interface,
but Active Accessibility is compatible with more types of interface elements.
When automating Windows-native applications, Active Accessibility should only be used
when elements are not compatible or cannot be reliably targeted using the Win32 spy
mode.
To improve the performance of the Active Accessibility interface, the Match Index and
Match Reverse can be used.
While using this interface, multiple matches can be found even though the element seems
to be unique. This might happen because some elements may exist even when they are
not displayed.

Blue Prism
Interview Questions
The wait stage is used to get the wait timeout upon double-clicking on the wait stage,
the default timeout should be 5 seconds. So, as we give the wait stage upon running
the object it will wait till the time given by the user to perform an action.
You should not try to retrieve the process through the wait stage. Instead, you should try an
exception and let the process handle it, as it may choose to restart the system/ retry after a
few times/ retry after an alert.

can separate the work request confirmation from the work.
For example, if a work request comes via a Web Service call, the Blue
Prism must add the request to a Work Queue and give an output that the
request has been received.

SLA?
Blue Prism
Interview Questions
You can also allocate enough robots to ensure that those robots work with
the work queues at peak times, with the expected SLA.
Apart from this, a method of controllers must be designed into a solution
to inform the users if an SLA is being missed or if its at risk.
Work queues can be also reported up to estimate whether the available
capacity is enough to meet the expected workloads at peak time.

101. Question 7
What is the purpose of Business
Objects and also explain the way
to check the object attached with
the application or not.
Blue Prism
Interview Questions
The main purpose of Business Object is to provide an interface to a
single application. Business Objects are not exposed to the control room and
are used by processes.
To check whether an object is attached to the application or not, you need to use
the top or the root element in an application model.
Then, you have to select the option – Read operation.
Once you select this option, the Business Object will be connected.

103. Question 8
What do you understand by
Session variables and where are
they used?
Blue Prism
Interview Questions
Session variables are those variables, which are applicable to sessions like
running processes.
Similar to the Environment variables, the session variables are exposed outside
the diagram.
On running processes, Session variables are very specific. If two instances of processes
are running at the same instance of time, both these instances will have the same
session variables with different values.
There is no need to set up the Session variables in the System Manager, but in the
Control Room, you can see and modify the Session variables. Also, all the data Items are
writable and exposed as Session variables.

with data type “Time”?
Blue Prism
Interview Questions
A new Environment variable named as “Stopping Time” has a value of “three or
four minutes from now” and with data type “Time”.
To use this variable, you have to create the latest Process named as “Stopping
Time”.
Then you have to create a data item named “Stopping Time”. Finally, you can use
the exposure field to link it with the Environment variable.

Exception and System Unavailable
Exception in Blue Prism?

Interview Questions
The Mark Exception has two flag inputs(Keep Locked and Retry) used to
control the features. So, as soon as a new item is developed, it will return its
ID into the output parameter of this new item. Also, if the Keep Locked flag is
set to TRUE, then a new item will be under the control of the process.

These exceptions are generally seen when you are not able to launch the
application. This could be either because of not-responding applications, a
new screen of an application, application crashes or changes within an
application that were not considered during the design and development
stage.

Index?
Question 11

109. Question 11
What do you understand by Match
Index?
Blue Prism
Interview Questions
If you want to search for an element from top to bottom, then you
have to use Match Index. Once the element is found, the Blue Prism will stop searching
instead of continuing to search for potential duplicates.
Using this attribute, you can increase the search speed. But this is
generally used when duplicate elements are either ignored or are unlikely to be present.
Also, if you use the Match Reverse option, this will make Blue Prism search
in the bottom-to-up order rather than the top-to-bottom order.

Question 12

111. Question 12
What are the steps to run more
than one instance of a process?
Blue Prism
Interview Questions While accessing the more than one instance of the Process, there are chances that those
instances clash with each other.
For example, let us say you have a process that holds the task to access a shared file. But,
you need to run more than one instance of that process.
How do you think, you will avoid the clash between
instances?
Well, you can do that by removing the file accessing sequence from the Process and put
it in a separate process which will run on a single machine.

112. Question 12
What are the steps to run more
than one instance of a process?
Blue Prism
Interview Questions
One more way is to use the Blue prism’s Environment Locking feature to control the
access to the file.
This lock is a token or a key which a Process must obtain as a “permission” to take a
particular path as input.
When there are more than one instance of a Process running and only a single lock is
present, the instances must “compete” for the lock.

The robots in Blue Prism get cases to work directly from the workflow system. For each and
every case, an item is added to the Blue Prism work queue and is immediately locked for
work.
