Actual exam question for Blue Prism's AD01 exam

Question #: 54
Topic #: 2

[All AD01 Questions]

Consider the following flow within an Object Studio action:

The developer of this flow found that writing some credentials to the target application sometimes failed with an exception even though the element exists on the screen. He found that simply catching the exception, waiting for 2 seconds and then retrying fixed the problem.

What problems do you see within the flow?

AThe Resume stage is not within the same Exception Block as the Recover stage and therefore will not work

BThere is a potential for an infinite loop if the Credentials' stage keeps throwing an exception for some unforeseen reason

CThe credentials stage is a read stage not a write stage

DThere is no need for a wait stage in the flow

Wait, a 2-second wait stage? That's like the developer saying, 'Hey, let me just take a quick nap while this flow runs.'

But it did fix the problem of the credentials not being written.

I agree, a 2-second wait seems unnecessary.

Woah, wait, the Credentials stage is a read stage? That's definitely not right. The developer needs to double-check that.

User 1: The Credentials stage is a read stage?

User 4: And maybe that's why they had to add a wait stage to retry writing the credentials.

Hmm, an infinite loop could be a problem if the exception keeps occurring. Maybe they should add some additional logic to prevent that.

User 2: That's a good idea, they need a fail-safe in case of continuous exceptions.

User 1: Maybe they should add a condition to break the loop if it fails too many times.

I also think option B is the main issue here. We need to address the possibility of an infinite loop to ensure the flow runs smoothly.

The flow seems to have a flaw in the Exception Block. The Resume stage should be within the same block to handle the exception properly.

I agree with Sharen. Option B seems like a valid concern. We should be careful about potential infinite loops in the flow.

I think the problem is with option B. There might be an infinite loop if the Credentials' stage keeps throwing exceptions.
