Blue Prism - Developer

Curriculum

• Module 1: Understanding Flow within a Process (15%)

Designing a new process using Process Studio is simple and powerful. Using the components provided within the toolbox, complex business processes can be automated, and process control and flow elements easily implemented.

• Organize logic by creating Sub Pages
• Construct logic by building Decision & Choice Stages
• Explain Layers of Logic and Flow by integrating of within a process

• Module 2: Configuring Objects (25%)

Along with web services, business objects provide the means of interacting with external systems from your process flow chart in Process Studio. Business objects provide a series of actions that can be called a process.

• Explain the Importance of Object Best Practices while building Objects
• Comprehend an element’s attributes in Application Modeller
• Identify how Global Send Keys and Objects can interact with each other

• Module 3: Datatype Variables – How Data flows through the Process (5%)

The properties dialog for the data item allows you to change various constraints for the data that is contained within it. SS&C | Blue Prism® Enterprise has several built-in data types.

• Construct loops by using Collections and Loop Stages
• Cast data from one data type to another

• Module 4: Error Management how to manage Exceptions (20%)

Exceptions occur during the running of a process for various reasons. Usually, when an exception occurs, the process stops, and its status in Control Room shows as Terminated. Sometimes, it is not desirable for the process to stop when an exception is encountered. In certain contexts, we can handle the exception and continue with processing.

• Employ Retry Loops to minimize Exceptions
• Construct unhappy paths considering how Exceptions are thrown
• Employ Recover and Resume stages in Process Building
• Explain the importance of Preservation of Exceptions

• Module 5: Case Management – Dealing with Work Queues (17%)

Work queues provide a mechanism for modelling the queueing, locking, and reporting of work items within a SS&C | Blue Prism® Enterprise environment. Work queues are managed from the Workflow section of System Manager. This includes searching for, creating, deleting, renaming, and configuring queues.

• Understand how Work Queues are built (Creation & Administration)
• Demonstrate the basics of Work Queues functionality

• Module 6: Calculations & Functions – Data Manipulation (8%)

Expressions can be created in a variety of ways. They can be typed directly into the Expression Editor or can be built up by dragging and dropping items from either the Function List or the Data Item List. The Function List shows all the functions available in the SS&C | Blue Prism® Enterprise.

• Describe the basic functionality of using Calculations
• Recognize the importance of Environmental Functions
• Utilize Text Functions within the building of processes

• Module 7: Debugging – Error Identification & Removal (3%)

The debugging facility allows you to simulate the execution of your business process or business object from within the process studio or object studio. All the while, you can watch which path the execution takes along your flow chart, query the values of data items, amend your flowchart during execution and jump to areas of interest.

• Integrate Stepping during the debugging Process
• Comprehend the use of Breakpoints while Debugging

• Module 8: General Items (7%)

Items under this Objective do not fall under any other objective and can range from items like Environmental Variables, Control Room, Templates, and the Application Modeller.

• Understand the Control Room’s functionality
• Demonstrate the use of Environmental Variables
• Understand the importance of Standard Templates
