Blue Prism Certified Developer (AD01) — Question 66

A Blue Prism Process has been developed which contains steps to extract data from a delimited file.

During development, the Developer saves the delimited file to C:\BP_Proc\Temp folder on their virtual desktop and adds a data item to the process to store this file path. This data item is then used in the process steps to extract the file data.

The production Process must read this file from a network folder, and as the Blue Prism production environment is locked down, the Process configuration cannot be edited in this environment.

How could the data item ‘exposure’ be updated, so that the process can read the data item containing the relevant file path, regardless of the environment the process is being executed in?

Answer options

• A. Update the data item exposure to ‘Statistic’
• B. Update the data item exposure to ‘Environment’
• C. Update the data item exposure to ‘Session’
• D. Update the data item exposure to ‘Shared’

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as setting the data item exposure to 'Environment' allows the process to read the file path from any environment, including production. The other options do not provide the necessary flexibility for accessing file paths across different environments, thus would not enable the required functionality.
