Blue Prism Certified Solution Designer (ASD01) — Question 25

A process definition document has been produced for a process that interfaces with two applications: FirstApp and Customer Information (CI). The process requirement is to perform data extraction from FirstApp before performing a number of steps in the CI application.
It is estimated that to perform the daily case volume within SLA's will require 10 robots. Average case time is approximately 10 minutes, with the FirstApp steps requiring only 1 minute to perform.
The client has a limited number of licenses for the FirstApp application and is reluctant to use 10 of these licenses to automate the process.
Which of the below is a valid design option for the project?

Answer options

• A. Automate the end to end process using two Blue Prism processes. Process 1 will perform the FirstApp tasks, Process 2 will perform the CI tasks. Data will be passed from Process 1 to Process 2 via a Blue Prism Work Queue. Process 1 will run on a single robot, with Process 2 running on 9 robots.
• B. Automate the end to end process using two Blue Prism processes. Process 1 will perform the FirstApp tasks, Process 2 will perform the CI tasks. Data will be passed from Process 1 to Process 2 via a spreadsheet. Process 1 will run on a single robot, with Process 2 running on 9 robots.
• C. Automate the end to end process using single Blue Prism process which will only be run on a single robot.
• D. Automate the end to end process using single Blue Prism process which will be run on 10 robots.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because it allows for the automation of the FirstApp tasks on a single robot while utilizing a spreadsheet for data transfer, thus minimizing the use of FirstApp licenses. Option A is incorrect as it uses a Blue Prism Work Queue, which may not be suitable given the license constraints. Options C and D are not valid since they fail to address the need to handle tasks from both applications effectively.
