Question 3
We have configured an object page to enter username and password to login to an application. When we spy the username and password elements, the finger print (attributes) are alike except the Windows text element.
Windows text elements have the values username for username text box and password for password text box.
The attributes shown in the image below is set for the user name element.

Question 12
Out of the stages provided below, which stage has neutral effect in the execution of the process?
- 1) Link
- 2) Action
- 3) Page
- 4) Anchor
Explanation – Option 4 is the correct answer. The Anchor Stage is a visual stage and it allows links to be placed at right angles around the process. This helps prevent the process from becoming difficult to lay out on the page. It has zero effect on the execution of the process.
Question 13
Out of the following statements, which statement is true about defer items from the work queue?
- 1) We can defer new cases to avoid them from being worked.
- 2) The term “defer” refers to an item being temporarily frozen.
- 3) When get next item is not successful in getting an item, it does not indicate that there are no unworked items in the queue.
- 4) All of the above.
Explanation – Option 4 is the correct answer. New items may be deferred to avoid them from getting worked too soon. If a deferral date is mentioned when items get created, the queue will retain them until the deferral date. Effectively the items are temporarily frozen. If Get Next Item is unsuccessful in getting an item, it does not necessarily mean that there are no unworked items in the queue. It could also mean that there are deferred items which the queue is yet to release. Therefore, all the options mentioned above are correct.
Question 14

- 1) More than 4
- 2) Less than 9
- 3) Only 1
- 4) Any Number
Explanation – Tags are separate text labels which we allocate to different items. They help us to group items together. They also help us to filter items in the contents list or in the business object. The tag file is utilized by the Get Next Item of the work queue to filter the work queue cases. There can be “n” number of tag searches. We should separate each term by a semi-colon and are all aplied to the search.
Option D is the right answer because we can add unlimited number of tags to a case.

Out of the statements provided below, which statement is true about run mode of the object?
- 1) We can leave the run mode blank.
- 2) We can set run mode to ensure that only a singular process runs on the resource.
- 3) If we set the run mode to the background, it will enable the object to run at the same time as the foreground. All this can be done on the same machine.

Out of the following attributes, which attribute should we uncheck to make sure that the visibility of the element is consistent?
- 1) Class Name
- 2) Visible
- 3) Screen Visible
- 4) Windows Text
Answer :Option 4 – Windows Text
Explanation – Option 4 is the correct answer because we can uncheck Window Text. A window can mean anything and can include an application window, a button, or a combo box item. Therefore it is mandatory to think in context when we are contemplating this attribute. The WindowText of an edit field is the text which has been entered into that field.
Question 31
We have configured a process as shown below.
The intention of the process is to wait for 2 seconds every time the “Get Details” stage is not able to retrieve the ID for upto 20 seconds before an exception is thrown. Data Item “MaxWait(Seconds)” is a number data item with an initial value of 20. Data Item “Time Spent Waiting” is a number data item with an initial value of 0. We have to enable these requirements correctly. Out of the configurations provided below, which configuration is correct for the “Increment Time” calculation stage?
1 
2 
3 
4 
Answer : Option 3
Explanation – Option C is the correct answer because the “+” operator adds 2 to time spent, waiting data items for every run.
Question 32
We have configured a process as shown in the image below.
There is a problem in the process design. From the options provided below, which option is the problem in the process design?
- 1) There is no problem with the above design process.
- 2) There is a resume stage missing on one of the routes through exception flow.
- 3) The recovery logic is supposed to be in exception block.
- 4) The retry limit is configured to 5 when it should always be 3.
Answer : Option 2 – There is a resume stage missing on one of the routes through exception flow.
Explanation – Option 2 is the correct answer. The exception flow is connected to the main flow without clearing the exception using resume stage. Thus the process will execute in recovery mode.
