Blue Prism Certified Professional Developer (APD01) — Question 3

A Process is fed cases to work from a spreadsheet held in a shared drive. The location of the shared drive is different between Development and Production environments. How should this be managed?

Answer options

• A. During the build and test phase, hold the "˜Development' path to the spreadsheet in a data item within a Process. When the Process is imported into Production it will be opened and the data item will be amended to hold the "˜Production' path.
• B. During the build and test phase, hold the "˜Development' path to the spreadsheet in a data item within a Process. Expose this data item as a Session Variable. When the Process is run in Production, this Session Variable value can be set in Control Room
• C. Hold the Path to the spreadsheet as an Environment Variable
• D. Pass the Path as a Startup Parameter when the process starts

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because using a Session Variable allows the path to be easily adjusted in the Control Room when transitioning from Development to Production. Options A and D require manual changes at the import or startup stage, which is less flexible. Option C limits the ability to change the path dynamically during execution.
