Which of the following statements about spy modes are TRUE?
Spy modes in Blue Prism are used to interact with different types of applications. The correct statements about spy modes are:
Browser Mode is the default mode used for web-based applications (Option D): This is the most accurate statement. Browser Mode is specifically designed for interacting with web-based applications and is the default mode for such cases.
The other options are incorrect:
Accessibility Mode is the most commonly used for open source web applications (Option A): Accessibility Mode is used for interacting with applications designed with accessibility in mind, not necessarily open source web applications.
Win32 Mode is the default mode used for web-based applications (Option B): Win32 Mode is used for desktop applications that use the Win32 API, not web-based applications.
HTML Mode is the most commonly used when a Code Stage is required (Option C): HTML Mode is used for web applications, but the use of a Code Stage does not determine the spy mode.
Reference Refer to Blue Prism's documentation on spy modes, which explains the appropriate use cases for each mode.
A process is currently scheduled to run every day but needs to be temporarily stopped for 3 months According to best practice, how should this be done?
Pausing a Schedule:
Pausing the schedule is the best practice for temporarily stopping a process. This maintains the schedule's configuration and simply suspends its execution for the specified period.
Maintaining Configuration:
Pausing the schedule ensures that once the period is over, the same schedule can be resumed without needing to recreate it or adjust any start/end dates. This approach is simpler and minimizes the risk of configuration errors.
Reactivation:
After the required period, the schedule can be easily unpaused to resume its normal operation.

Examine the following Blue Prism Process diagram:
The 'Retry Limit' data item is configured as a number data item, and has an initial value of 3. The 'Retry Count* data item is configured as a number data item, and has an initial value of 0. The 'Count' Calculation stage increases the value of the 'Retry Count' data item by 1. The 'Retry? Decision stage contains logic to prevent more than 3 attempts
What is wrong with the current configuration?
Understanding the Diagram:
The diagram shows a retry loop where the process attempts to perform a search, read results, and handle exceptions by retrying up to 3 times.
'Retry Limit' is set to 3, and 'Retry Count' starts at 0 and is incremented by 1 in each retry attempt.
Analyzing the Logic:
Option A: The Resume stage should resume the process outside the exception block, which is correct.
Option B: Exception handling in the process layer is valid; it does not have to be exclusively in the object layer.
Option C: Each action does not need an individual retry loop; the overall block retry is acceptable.
Option D: This option highlights a missing step. After handling an exception and before retrying, the application needs to be reset or ensured it is ready to retry the 'Search Screen - Perform Search' action.
Identifying the Issue:
The retry logic should include steps to ensure the application state is appropriate for another search attempt. This might include resetting fields, waiting for the application to be ready, or ensuring the previous error state is cleared.
