Blue Prism Certified Solution Designer (ASD01) — Question 17

Imagine a DR scenario where the main Production database goes down one afternoon. All processes use work queues and all new work is loaded first thing each morning. The database is backed up regularly but not in real time, so the restored back up will be slightly out of date, say by 1 hour.
If the backup was restored, and processes were restarted what would be the effect? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. The processes would resume with the queue item being worked at the time of the incident.
• B. The processes would resume with the next available queue item.
• C. The queue item being worked at the time of the incident would be automatically marked as an exception.
• D. The queue item being worked at the time of the incident would need to be manually marked as an exception.
• E. The work queue would automatically ensure no cases is duplicated.

Correct answer: B, C

Explanation

The correct answers are B and C. Upon restoring the backup, processes would pick up the next queue item since the one being worked on would not be valid after the outage, and it would be marked as an exception automatically as it was in progress during the incident. Options A and D are incorrect because the processes cannot resume with an outdated queue item and manual exception marking is not necessary in this scenario. Option E is also incorrect as the system does not guarantee automatic prevention of case duplication.
