UiPath UiPath-ADPv1 UiPath (ADPv1) Automation Developer Professional Exam(2023.10) Exam Practice Test

In a UiPath State Machine, the Trigger section of a State activity is used to specify the condition or event that initiates a transition from the current state to another state.

The recommended approach for handling tabular data when building a REFramework transactional project in UiPath is to utilize a DataTable variable to store and process the tabular data. A DataTable variable can hold data in a tabular format, with rows and columns, and can be easily manipulated using built-in activities such as Read Range, Write Range, Filter Data Table, For Each Row, etc. A DataTable variable can also be used as the input for the Get Transaction Data state in the REFramework, which retrieves each row of data as a transaction item for processing. References: [UiPath Studio Guide - Data Tables], [UiPath Studio Guide - The REFramework]

The transaction will be retried only one time because the MaxRetryNumber from the “Config.xlsx” file is set to “1”. This parameter determines how many times a transaction item is retried when it fails with an application or a business exception. The Max # of retries from the Queue settings from Orchestrator is set to “2”, but this parameter only applies to the queue items that are marked as “Retry” by the robot. In the Robotic Enterprise Framework, the SetTransactionStatus workflow marks the queue items as “Retry” only if the MaxRetryNumber is not reached. Therefore, the first transaction item will be retried once by the robot and then marked as “Failed” in the queue, regardless of the Orchestrator setting. 

Based on the provided screenshot of the Object Repository tree structure in UiPath, the correct hierarchy and count of elements are as follows:

There is one Application, which is "ACME 1.0.0".

Within this application, there are two Screens: "Dashboard" and "Login".

Under the "Dashboard" screen, there are three UI Elements: "User Options", "Users Data".

Under the "Login" screen, there are two UI Elements: "LoginButton", "Password", "Username".

Therefore, the correct option regarding the tree structure displayed would be:

C. One Application Two Screens Five UI Elements

This option correctly identifies one application (ACME 1.0.0), two screens (Dashboard, Login), and five UI elements (User Options, Users Data, LoginButton, Password, Username).

The REFramework (Robotic Enterprise Framework) in UiPath is designed to work with transactional data. For a process that involves iterating over a DataTable where each row represents a transaction item, the appropriate variable type for the TransactionItem would be a DataRow.

In the context of REFramework, a DataRow is typically used to represent a single transaction item when the transaction data is contained within a DataTable. This allows the framework to process each row (or transaction) one by one.

Therefore, the correct variable type for the TransactionItem from the drop-down list should be DataRow.

The correct order of actions in the Get Transaction Data state is:

Remove the Get Transaction Item activity from the GetTransactionData workflow.

Add a Read Range activity in the GetTransactionData workflow to read the data from a local Excel file.

Add the logic required to read the data source only one time.

Add the logic required to retrieve only one row from read data each time.

Add the logic required to check if all rows/transaction items from the read data have been processed.

This sequence ensures that the data is read once, processed row by row, and checks for completion.

The type of error that should be thrown according to best practices for queue items that contain partial numbers is Business Exception. A Business Exception is an exception that occurs due to an incorrect or incomplete input data or an expected business rule violation. A Business Exception indicates that the transaction item cannot be processed successfully and should be marked as failed in the queue. A Business Exception can be thrown by using the Throw activity in UiPath Studio, with the exception type set to UiPath.Core.BusinessRuleException. Alternatively, a Business Exception can be thrown by using the Set Transaction Status activity in the REFramework, with the status set to Failed and the exception type set to Business Exception. References: [Business Exception vs Application Exception], [Throw], [Set Transaction Status]

The Object Repository is a feature of UiPath Studio that allows you to store and manage UI elements in a structured way, similar to a DOM (Document Object Model)1. The Object Repository can be created and used in both libraries and processes2. When you import a library as a dependency in a process, the Object Repository defined in the library will automatically be available in the process3. You can access the UI elements from the library by using the UI Activities tab in the Object Repository panel3. You can also drag and drop the UI elements from the library to the Designer panel3.

The UiPath Remote Runtime component is a component that facilitates the communication between a remote application or desktop, such as Citrix Virtual Apps, and the dedicated UiPath extension – the UiPath Extension for Citrix, the UiPath Extension for Windows Remote Desktop and Apps, or the UiPath Extension for VMware Horizon1. It gathers information about the targeted UI elements of the remote applications and sends them to the corresponding extension, so that selectors are natively generated in UiExplorer1. The UiPath Remote Runtime component is required to establish the connection between an application or desktop server and a corresponding UiPath extension installed on a client machine, where Studio is installed1. This way, selectors are natively generated on the client machine, without having to rely on OCR and image recognition activities1. .

The service mode is recommended for running unattended automations in UiPath. This mode allows robots to run without needing a user to be logged in, making it ideal for unattended scenarios.

Custom virtual channels, by default, are blocked in Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, which would prevent the UiPath Remote Runtime from functioning correctly. Therefore, adding the UiPath virtual channel to the allow list policy is necessary for proper automation interaction.

The percentages from the Test Explorer panel represent the passing percent of the test cases that are executed. The Test Explorer panel shows the status of each test case, the total number of test cases, the number of passed test cases, the number of failed test cases, and the passing percent. The passing percent is calculated by dividing the number of passed test cases by the total number of test cases and multiplying by 100. For example, if there are 10 test cases and 8 of them pass, the passing percent is 80%. References: Test Explorer

In UiPath, the four job types according to the place of execution and robot impersonation are Foreground unattended, Background unattended, Attended, and Development. These job types differentiate the automation tasks based on whether they require user interaction (Attended), can run in the background without user intervention (Background unattended), are designed for development andtesting purposes (Development), or are unattended tasks that require a virtual environment (Foreground unattended).References:

UiPath Orchestrator Guide: Job Types

The Log Message option in the Breakpoint Settings allows the user to log custom information at each breakpoint while executing a process in Debug mode. This option can be accessed by right-clicking on a breakpoint and selecting Breakpoint Settings. The user can then enter a message that will be logged in the Output panel when the breakpoint is hit. The message can include variables, arguments, and pseudovariables, such as $PID, $TID, $FUNCTION, etc1

Option B is not recommended, because it requires the user to insert a Log Message activity before each activity with a breakpoint, which can be tedious and clutter the workflow. Option C is not relevant, because it enables or disables logging for all activities in the project, not just the breakpoints. Option D is not related, because it shows the execution flow of the process, not the custom information at each breakpoint.

A pre-requisite for running functional test cases in REFramework is to invoke the InitAIISettings XAML file. This file is responsible for initializing the AI Fabric settings and connecting to the Orchestrator. It also checks if the AI Fabric environment is ready and if the ML skills are deployed and available. Without invoking this file, the functional test cases that use AI Fabric features will not work properly. References: [REFramework for AI Fabric]

After running any REFramework test case, the possible statuses are "PASS" or "FAIL". These indicate whether the test case succeeded or encountered an issue, respectively.

When the data is not accessible, the created table displays only the header row, and processing for that client must be halted, a BusinessRuleException occurs. A BusinessRuleException is a type of exception that indicates a business logic error or a validation error that cannot be resolved by retrying the transaction. For example, if the input data is incorrect, incomplete, or outdated, a BusinessRuleException should be thrown. A BusinessRuleException can be thrown by using the Throw activity with the following expression:

VB New BusinessRuleException(“Message”) where Message is a string that describes the error. A BusinessRuleException can be caught by using the Catch activity with the following expression:

VB ex As BusinessRuleException where ex is a variable that stores the exception object. A BusinessRuleException can be handled differently from other types of exceptions, such as SystemException or ApplicationException, depending on the logic of the automation. For example, in the REFramework, a BusinessRuleException sets the status of the transaction item to Failed and does not retry the transaction, whereas a SystemException sets the status of the transaction item to Retry and retries the transaction up to a specified number of times. References: [BusinessRuleException], [Throw], [Catch], [REFramework]

The Click activity has a property called TimeoutMS. This property specifies the amount of time (in milliseconds) to wait for the activity to be executed before an error is thrown. In this case, the TimeoutMS property is set to 10000 milliseconds (10 seconds). Therefore, if the activity cannot find its target at runtime, an exception will be thrown after 10 seconds. 

The Type Into activity is used to send keystrokes to a UI element, such as a text box1. The activity has several properties that can be adjusted to achieve different behaviors and results1. One of these properties is the Activate property, which determines whether the specified UI element is brought to the foreground and activated before the text is written1. By default, this property is not selected, which means that the activity will type into the current active window1. However, if the property is selected, the activity will first make sure that the target UI element is visible and focused, and then type the text1. Therefore, if the automation process requires each field to be brought to the foreground, the Activate property of the Type Into activity should be adjusted to achieve this

The Error Feed widget on the Monitoring > Jobs page in UiPath Orchestrator Monitoring-7 shows the errors that occurred during the execution of jobs in the selected folder1. You can disable errors from the Error Feed widget by clicking the Disable button next to each error1. However, to do this, you need to have the following permissions:

View on Monitoring: This permission allows you to see the content of the Monitoring pages, such as Machines, Processes, Queues, and Jobs2. Without this permission, you cannot access the Monitoring > Jobs page at all.

Edit on Jobs: This permission allows you to perform actions on jobs, such as starting, stopping, resuming, or killing them3. It also allows you to disable errors from the Error Feed widget on the Monitoring > Jobs page1.

Therefore, the correct answer is A. View on Monitoring and Edit on Jobs.

The other options are incorrect because:

Option B is incorrect because it does not include the Edit on Jobs permission, which is required to disable errors from the Error Feed widget.

Option C is incorrect because it includes the Edit on Monitoring permission, which is not required to disable errors from the Error Feed widget. The Edit on Monitoring permission is only required to disable errors from the Error Feed widget on the Monitoring > Queues page4.

Option D is incorrect because it does not include the Edit on Jobs permission, which is required to disable errors from the Error Feed widget.

A mock file is a copy of a workflow file that is used for testing purposes, where some activities are replaced by mock activities that simulate the expected behavior1. A mock file can be created by selecting Mock workflow under test in the Create Test Case window2. The mock file is stored in the Project > Mocks folder, and it has the same name as the original workflow file, with the suffix “_mock” added2. For example, if the original workflow file is named “MySequence.xaml”, the mock file will be named “MySequence_mock.xaml”.

When a mock file is created, the changes made in the original workflow file are automatically applied to the mock file when the project is saved2. This means that any new activities or modifications in theoriginal workflow file are reflected in the mock file, except for the activities that are surrounded by mock activities2. The mock activities are not affected by the changes in the original workflow file, and they can only be edited within the mock file2.

Therefore, if you update “MySequence” and add a Log Message activity and a Verify Expression activity, and then save the project, the changes will be applied to the mock file, assuming that the file is closed. This means that the mock file will also have the Log Message activity and the Verify Expression activity added, unless they are inside a mock activity

The Object Repository in UiPath organizes elements in a hierarchical structure that reflects the logical arrangement of user interfaces and elements as they are captured and used in automation projects.

The correct hierarchy for elements in the Object Repository tree structure is:

A. Version, Application, Screen, UI Element.

This hierarchy starts with the 'Version', which could refer to the specific version of the application you are automating. Under each version, there could be multiple 'Applications' that you have elements for. Within each application, you might have captured various 'Screens' or dialogs, and within each screen, there are individual 'UI Elements' like buttons, text fields, dropdown menus, etc., that the automation interacts with.

However, it's important to note that in practice, when you are working with UiPath Studio and its Object Repository, the hierarchy usually starts with the 'Application', then under it, you have different 'Screens' of the application, and under each screen, you have the 'UI Elements'. The 'Version' is typically managed separately and is not a level in the hierarchy tree but rather a property or attribute of the application or element. Therefore, the most practical answer reflecting the usage in UiPath Studio would be:

C. Application, Screen, UI Element, Version.

The 'Version' here would be understood not as a layer in the hierarchy but rather as an attribute that can be associated with the 'Application' or 'UI Element'.

In the BDD (Behavioral-Driven Development) template structure, the "Setup" part of a test case supports the Surround with mock feature. This section is used to set up the testing environment, including mock configurations.

The REFramework is a project template based on State Machines, which follows the best practices regarding logging, exception handling, application initialization, and others1. The REFramework uses a queue in Orchestrator to store the transaction items, which are the units of data that need to be processed by the automation process1. The status of a transaction item can be set to Failed or Successful using the Set Transaction Status activity, which also allows specifying the ErrorType as Business or Application2. A Business ErrorType indicates that the transaction failed due to a business rule exception, such as invalid or incomplete data2. An Application ErrorType indicates that the transaction failed due to an application exception, such as a system error or a timeout2.

The REFramework has four main states: Init, Get Transaction Data, Process Transaction, and End Process1. The process transitions between these states based on the conditions and triggers defined in the state machine1. The process starts with the Init state, where the application is initialized and the Config file is read1. Then, the process moves to the Get Transaction Data state, where the next transaction item is retrieved from the queue1. If there is a transaction item available, the process moves to the Process Transaction state, where the main logic of the automation is executed1. If the transactionis processed successfully, the status is set to Successful and the process returns to the Get Transaction Data state1. If the transaction fails due to a Business ErrorType, the status is set to Failed and the process also returns to the Get Transaction Data state, without retrying the transaction1. If the transaction fails due to an Application ErrorType, the status is set to Failed and the process retries the transaction until the maximum number of retries is reached1. If there is no transaction item available, or if the maximum number of retries is reached, or if a System Error occurs, the process moves to the End Process state, where the application is closed and the final report is generated1.

Therefore, considering a process developed using REFramework, if the status of a transaction was set to “Failed” with the ErrorType specified as “Business”, the process will transition to the Get Transaction Data state, where it will fetch the next transaction item from the queue.

The graphics show a UiPath workflow that contains a Try Catch activity with a Type Into activity inside the Try block and a Log Message activity inside the Catch block. The Type Into activity isconfigured to type “Typing into Notepad” into a Notepad window with the selector “”. The Log Message activity is configured to log the exception message in the Output panel.

If the automation is executed and Notepad.exe is not running, the Type Into activity will fail to find the target UI element and throw an exception. The exception will be caught by the Catch block and the Log Message activity will log the exception message in the Output panel. The exception message will contain the name of the exception type, which is ApplicationNotFoundException. This exception is thrown when the application that is specified in the selector is not found or not running. Therefore, the Log Message text value that is contained in the Output panel is ApplicationNotFoundException.

The other options are not correct, as they are not the exception type that is thrown by the Type Into activity when the application is not running. Option A is incorrect, because Exception is a generic term for any error or problem that occurs during the execution of a program, not a specific exception type. Option C is incorrect, because Try is not an exception type, but a keyword that marks the beginning of a block of code that may throw an exception. Option D is incorrect, because SelectorNotFoundException is not an exception type, but a possible error message that is displayed when the selector is invalid or does not match any UI element.

"Process A":

The process is scheduled to run at 2:00 PM, but due to busy robots, it starts at 2:05 PM.

The Schedule ending of Job execution feature is configured to stop the job after 20 minutes.

Therefore, "Process A" will be stopped 20 minutes after it started, which is at 2:25 PM.

In a UiPath REFramework project, the primary purpose of using Custom Log Fields is to add specific contextual information to log messages that are relevant to the automation process. Custom Log Fields are created using the Add Log Fields activity, which adds custom log fields to the Robot Execution Logs. The new log fields created via this activity are added for every Log Message execution throughout the entire workflow, unless a Remove Log Fields activity is used. Custom Log Fields can help you to maintain contextual insights within log messages, such as the business process name, the transaction data, the transaction status, or any other information that can help you to monitor, analyze, or debug the automation process. Custom Log Fields can also enhance the readability and consistency of log messages, as well as facilitate log filtering and reporting. 

The DataTable object in UiPath is a representation of a table with rows and columns that can store data of various types. It has a Columns property that returns a collection of DataColumn objects that describe the schema of the table1. To extract the column names from a DataTable and store them in a list, you can use the following query:

dt.Columns.Cast(Of Datacolumn).Select(function(x) x.ColumnName).ToList()

This query does the following:

It casts the Columns collection to a generic IEnumerable(Of DataColumn) using the Cast(Of T) extension method2. This is necessary because the Columns collection is a non-generic IEnumerable that cannot be used with LINQ methods directly3.

It selects the ColumnName property of each DataColumn object using the Select extension method and a lambda expression4. The ColumnName property returns the name of the column as a string5.

It converts the resulting IEnumerable(Of String) to a List(Of String) using the ToList extension method6.

The other options are incorrect because:

Option B does not cast the Columns collection to a generic IEnumerable(Of DataColumn), which will cause a runtime error.

Option C uses the AsEnumerable extension method, which returns a collection of DataRow objects, not DataColumn objects7. Therefore, the ColumnName property will not be available.

Option D selects the whole DataColumn object instead of its ColumnName property, which will result in a list of DataColumn objects, not strings.

The workflow in question uses a 'Verify Control Attribute' activity to check if the text value of a UI element is equal to "Work Items". The Get Text activity is used to retrieve the text from the specified UI element, and the result of this activity is compared against the expected value "Work Items".

From the provided information, the 'Verify Control Attribute' activity has been set up with the Expression "Work Items" and the Operator set to Equality. The 'Get Text' activity is configured to extract the text from the UI element with the visible text "Work Items", as indicated by the selector shown in the image.

Since the actual value of the UI element's text is "Work Items" (which matches the expected value in the 'Verify Control Attribute' activity), and provided that the 'Get Text' activity successfully retrieves this value, the verification will pass. The configuration indicates that the activity should take a screenshot only if the verification fails (TakeScreenshotIfFailed is set to True), which will not be the case here.

Therefore, assuming that there are no other issues such as incorrect selectors or unexpected changes to the UI element at execution time, the result of the 'Verify Control Attribute' activity will be a pass.

This expression evaluates if the number modulo 2 equals 0, which would mean it is even. If true, it assigns the string "Even number" to the variable message. If false (meaning the number is odd), it assigns "Odd number" to message

 The Global Exception Handler is a type of workflow that determines the project’s behavior when encountering an execution error. It has two arguments that are provided by default and should not be removed. They are:

errorinfo: This argument has the “In” direction and it stores information about the error that was thrown and the workflow that failed. It can be used to log the error details, get the name of the activity that caused the error, or count the number of retries1.

result: This argument has the “Out” direction and it is used to specify the next action of the process when it encounters an error. It can have one of the following values: Continue, Ignore, Retry, or Abort. These values determine whether the exception is re-thrown, ignored, retried, or stops the execution1.

The other options are not correct, because they either have the wrong direction for the arguments, or they use the “In/Out” direction, which is not valid for the Global Exception Handler arguments1.

The Set Transaction Status activity in UiPath Studio is used to set the status of an Orchestrator queue item to Failed or Successful. This activity is usually placed at the end of the Process Transaction state in the REFramework template, after the Try Catch block. The status of the queue item determines whether it will be retried or not.

To retry a queue item, the status needs to be set to Failed. This means that the transaction was not completed successfully, and it needs to be processed again. The number of retries for a queue item depends on the MaxRetryNumber parameter in the Config file of the REFramework. By default, it is set to 2, which means that each queue item can be retried twice before it is marked as permanently failed.

The other options are not valid statuses for the Set Transaction Status activity. Option A is incorrect, because Retried is not a status, but a property of a queue item that indicates whether it has been retried or not. Option C is incorrect, because Abandoned is a status that is automatically assigned by Orchestrator to a queue item that has been in progress for more than 24 hours, and it cannot be retried. Option D is incorrect, because Postponed is a status that is automatically assigned by Orchestrator to a queue item that has a specific start date in the future, and it cannot be retried until that date is reached.

In the Robotic Enterprise Framework (REFramework) for UiPath, the OrchestratorQueueName key is used to specify the name of the queue from which the robot will process transactions. If the OrchestratorQueueName key is specified in both the Settings sheet and the Assets sheet of the configuration, the REFramework will first attempt to get the value from the Orchestrator asset.

If the asset with the corresponding name to OrchestratorQueueName is not found in Orchestrator, the behavior at runtime would depend on how the REFramework's InitAllSettings.xaml is implemented. Generally, if an asset is expected but not found in the Orchestrator, an exception is thrown because the asset is typically considered a required component for the process to run correctly.

Therefore, the most likely behavior at runtime would be:

B. The flow will throw an exception in the InitAllSettings workflow.

This would occur because the InitAllSettings workflow contains the logic to load configuration settings and assets, and if an expected asset is not found, an exception is usually thrown to prevent the process from continuing without required configuration.

The output type returned when using a Get Test Data Queue Item activity is QueueItem. The Get Test Data Queue Item activity is an activity that allows the developer to retrieve a test data queue item from a test data queue in Orchestrator. A test data queue is a special type of queue that is used to store and manage test data for automation testing purposes. A test data queue item is a data object that contains the test data and the expected results for a test case. The Get Test Data Queue Item activity has an output property called TestDataQueueItem, which returns the test data queue item as a QueueItem type. The QueueItem type is a class that represents a queue item in Orchestrator. The QueueItem type has various properties and methods that allow the developer to access and manipulate the data and the status of the queue item. References: [Get Test Data Queue Item], [QueueItem Class]

The best practice for creating a repetitive process in the REFramework and defending against potential robot crashes such as “out of memory” is to mark all “Invoke Workflow File” activities from the Main.xaml file with the Isolated option. The Isolated option enables the workflow to run in a separate process, which reduces the memory consumption and the risk of memory leaks. It also improves the stability and the performance of the robot, as it isolates the errors and the exceptions that might occur in the invoked workflow. The Isolated option can be found in the Properties panel of the “Invoke Workflow File” activity, under the Options category. By marking all the invoked workflows as Isolated, the developer can ensure that the robot can handle a large number of transactions without crashing or slowing down

When starting a job manually in UiPath Orchestrator, the default priority value for the Job Priority field is Inherited. This means that the job inherits the priority value that was set at the process level when the package was deployed. The possible priority values are High, Normal, and Low. The priority value determines the order in which the jobs are executed by the robots, with higher priority jobs being executed first. The priority value can be changed manually when starting a job, or it can be set dynamically using the Start Job activity in a workflow. References: [Starting a Job], [Job Priority]

In UiPath Studio, you can use DateTime and TimeSpan variables to store and manipulate date and time values. A DateTime variable represents a specific point in time, such as the current date and time, or a date in the past or future. A TimeSpan variable represents a time interval, such as one hour, two days, or three weeks.

To subtract a specific amount of time from the current date using DateTime and TimeSpan variables in VB.NET, you can use the Add method on the DateTime variable and pass a negative TimeSpan value. For example, if you have a DateTime variable called Today that stores the current date and time, and a TimeSpan variable called Span that stores the time interval you want to subtract, you can write:

Today.Add(-Span)

This expression returns a new DateTime value that is the result of subtracting the Span value from the Today value. For example, if Today is 2024-02-08 10:51:49 and Span is 1.02:10:04, then the expression returns 2024-02-07 08:41:45.

The other options are not correct ways of subtracting a TimeSpan value from a DateTime value in VB.NET. Option A is invalid, because you cannot multiply a TimeSpan value by a number. Option B is incorrect, because the Subtract method on the DateTime variable returns a TimeSpan value, not a DateTime value. Option D is incorrect, because the Now property is not a method, and it cannot take a TimeSpan value as an argument.

The Relative To feature in Computer Vision activities is used to configure the target as being relative to an element, either a single point or an area selection in the application. This feature enhances the accuracy and reliability of UI automation.

 The project structure that is best-suited for complex processes in UiPath Studio, following UiPath best practices, is State Machine. A State Machine is a type of workflow that consists of a set of states, transitions, and triggers. A state represents a stage of the process, a transition represents a change from one state to another, and a trigger represents a condition or an event that activates a transition. A State Machine is suitable for complex processes because it can handle multiple paths and branches, depending on the logic and the triggers of the workflow. A State Machine can also handle loops and retries, as well as parallel execution of states. A State Machine can be created by using the StateMachine activity in UiPath Studio, or by using the REFramework template, which is based on a State Machine structure. References: [State Machines], [REFramework]

A State Machine is a type of automation that uses a finite number of states in its execution. It can go into a state when it is triggered by an activity, and it exits that state when another activity is triggered. A State Machine consists of four primary components:

•States: These are the nodes that represent the possible situations or conditions of the automation. Each state can have one or more activities inside it that define the behavior of the automation in that state. There are two types of states: State and Final State. A State Machine must have one initial state and one or more final states.

•Triggers: These are the events or conditions that cause the automation to enter a state. A trigger can be an activity, a variable, or an argument that is executed or evaluated before entering a state. For example, a Click activity can be a trigger for entering a state that performs some actions after clicking a button.

•Transitions: These are the arrows or branches that connect the states and define the flow of the automation. A transition can have a condition that determines whether the automation can move from one state to another. For example, a Boolean expression can be a condition for a transition that checks if a certain condition is true or false before moving to the next state.

•Actions: These are the activities or sequences that are executed when the automation moves from one state to another. An action can be performed before or after the transition, depending on the type of the transition. For example, a Log Message activity can be an action that logs a message when the automation exits a state.

You can find out more about state machines on the Studio - State Machines - UiPath Documentation Portal or in the official Workflow Foundation documentation.

In a Try Catch activity within UiPath, when an exception is thrown that does not match any of the exception types specified in the Catches section, the exception is unhandled by the Catches section. If the thrown exception is an ApplicationException and the Catches section is only configured to handle an InvalidOperationException, then the ApplicationException is not caught because it is a different type of exception.

However, regardless of whether the exception is caught, the Finally block always executes. The Finally block is designed to run after the Try block and after any Catch blocks are checked for matches (regardless of whether a match is found or not).

Therefore, the correct answer is:

A. The Finally block is executed and the Catches section catches the exception.

In this context, "the Catches section catches the exception" means that the Catches section is evaluated for a match. Since ApplicationException is not handled by the InvalidOperationException catch block, the exception is not actually caught, but the Finally block will still execute.

In UiPath Orchestrator, when a queue item fails and a recording is available (if enabled and the job was executed with recording turned on), you can access the recording directly from thecontextual menu of the failed transaction. This is done by selecting"Open recording", which provides insight into what occurred during the automation at runtime. This feature is valuable for debugging and exception analysis.

The Get Text activity in UiPath Studio is used to extract and copy the text from a UI element. It has a property called Scraping method, which allows you to choose the method of scraping text from the target element. The available methods are Default, Text attribute, Full text, and Native.

The Default method tries all the other methods and chooses the best one automatically. The Text attribute method uses the text value of the target element as the output. The Native method uses the native method of the application to scrape the text, and allows formatting and screen coordinates to be retrieved. The Full text method uses an OCR engine to scrape the text, and offers the option to Ignore hidden text, which can be activated by selecting its respective check box.

To capture hidden text from an application, the Full text method with the Ignore hidden text option enabled should be used. This way, the Get Text activity can retrieve the text that is not visible on the screen, but is present in the UI element. For example, this method can be used to get the text from a combo box that has more items than the ones displayed, or from a terminal window that has more editable text than the ones shown.

UiPath Integration Service is the component of the UiPath Platform that makes the automation of third-party applications much easier by standardizing authorization and authentication, helping you manage API connections and also allowing faster integration into SaaS platforms1. By using pre-built connectors, the development of automation projects in UiPath Studio is more simple and more consistent, regardless of the third-party applications you are automating1. Some of the advantages of pre-built connectors are:

They enable automation with an out-of-the-box library of connectors for popular applications such as Salesforce, Slack, Microsoft Office 365, SAP, ServiceNow, and Google G Suite23.

They help setting up and managing connections easily with standardized authentication methods such as OAuth 2.0, Basic, API Key, and Custom1.

They enable kicking off automations with server-side triggers or events, such as receiving an email, creating a record, or updating a field1.

They provide curated activities and events (with additional data filters) for ease of use in UiPath Studio1.

They simplify automation design by providing a uniform experience across all Studio designers1.

They integrate across all UiPath Platform product solutions, such as UiPath Orchestrator, UiPath Assistant, UiPath Action Center, and UiPath Apps3.

The statement that is true about the existing UiPath Studio installation packages is that the Attended Robot installation package installs only the UiPath Robot. The UiPath Robot is the component that executes the automation workflows designed in UiPath Studio. The Attended Robot installation package is intended for scenarios where the Robot works on the same machine as a human user and requires human input or supervision. The Attended Robot installation package does not include UiPath Studio or UiPath Assistant. UiPath Studio is the component that allows the developer to design and debug the automation workflows. UiPath Assistant is the component that allows the user to manage and run the automation workflows on their machine. The Unattended Robot installation package and the Automation Developer installation package both include UiPath Studio, UiPath Assistant, and UiPath Robot, but they are intended for different scenarios. The Unattended Robot installation package is for scenarios where the Robot works on a dedicated machine and does not require human input or supervision. The Automation Developer installation package is for scenarios where the developer needs to create and test the automation workflows on their machine. References: [UiPath Installation Guide], [UiPath Robot], [UiPath Studio], [UiPath Assistant]

For a workflow that requires covering all possible cases and transitions, especially those not easily captured by loops and If statements, a State Machine layout is most suitable. It offers a flexible structure for complex workflows with numerous states.

Converting a process into a background process in UiPath is accomplished by ensuring the process does not contain UI interaction and setting the "Starts in Background" toggle to Yes in the Project Settings. This is crucial for processes meant to run without user interface interaction.

When the Split method is used on a String variable, the result is an array of substrings. However, accessing a specific element of this array (e.g., MyNumbers.Split("."c)(1)) returns a single substring, which is a String.

The Connector Builder for Integration Service is a feature that enables the user to quickly add custom connectors to the tenant catalog in a no-code environment. The custom connectors can wrap any RESTful API and provide rich and scalable functionality on top of the original API1. The Connector Builder supports the following features:

REST APIs with JSON payload: The Connector Builder can connect to external systems that expose their API documentation as REST-compliant and both accept and return JSON2.

Various authentication types including OAuth 2.0 and API Key: The Connector Builder supports different types of authentication methods for the API calls, such as OAuth 2.0, Basic, Personal Access Token (PAT), API Key, etc3.

Building a connector from an API definition or from scratch: The Connector Builder allows the user to start building a connector from an existing API definition, such as a Swagger file, a Postman collection, or a URL, or from scratch by manually adding the API resources and methods4.

Option C is the correct answer, as it lists the features that the Connector Builder supports as defined in the documentation1. Option A is incorrect, because the Connector Builder does not support SOAP APIs or XML payloads, and it can build a connector from other sources besides a Swagger definition. Option B is incorrect, because the Connector Builder supports other authentication types besides OAuth 2.0 and Basic, and it can build a connector from other sources besides a Postman collection.Option D is incorrect, because the Connector Builder does not support SOAP APIs or XML payloads, and it supports other authentication types besides OAuth 2.0.

The role of Triggers in the UiPath Integration Service is to provide a mechanism for subscribing to specific events from third-party applications, automatically starting processes in Orchestrator. The UiPath Integration Service is a cloud-based service that enables seamless integration between UiPath and various external applications, such as Salesforce, ServiceNow, Workday, and more. The Integration Service allows the developer to create Triggers that define the conditions and actions for starting processes in Orchestrator based on events that occur in the external applications. For example, a Trigger can be created to start a process that updates a customer record in UiPath when a case is closed in Salesforce. The Triggers can be configured and managed from the UiPath Integration Service portal or from the UiPath Studio.

In UiPath's App/Web Recorder, certain actions need to be selected or indicated before they can be recorded. These include:

•Clicking on buttons, links, and other interactive elements.

•Typing text into input fields.

•Selecting or clearing checkboxes.

•Sending keyboard shortcuts.

•Selecting items from drop-down menus.

Based on these common actions that are typically used in UiPath recording, the answer that best fits is:

A. Click on buttons, links, and other clickable elements such as icons or images. Type text in a text area such as a text box. Select or clear a check box. Send keyboard shortcuts using your keyboard. Select an item from a drop-down.

These are the actions that you would manually select or perform during the recording process to automate interactions with a UI.

LINQ (Language-Integrated Query) is a feature of .NET that allows you to write queries to manipulate data from various sources, such as arrays, collections, databases, XML, etc. LINQ can be used in UiPath Studio to perform complex data operations on variables of different types, such as DataTable, List, Array, etc. LINQ has two syntax forms: query syntax and method syntax. Both forms can achieve the same results, but they have different styles and preferences.

Option B is the correct answer because it demonstrates using LINQ method syntax to filter DataTable rows based on a specific condition. The expression dataTable.AsEnumerable().Where(Function(row) row(“ColumnName”).ToString.Contains(“Value”)).CopyToDataTable() does the following:

It converts the DataTable variable dataTable to an IEnumerable(Of DataRow) object using the AsEnumerable extension method1. This allows the use of LINQ methods on the DataTable.

It filters the rows of the DataTable based on a lambda expression using the Where extension method2. The lambda expression Function(row) row(“ColumnName”).ToString.Contains(“Value”) returns true for the rows that have the value “Value” in the column named “ColumnName”.

It converts the filtered IEnumerable(Of DataRow) object back to a DataTable using the CopyToDataTable extension method3. This returns a new DataTable that contains only the rows that match the condition.

The other options are incorrect because:

Option A is incorrect because it uses an invalid LINQ method Concatenate. The correct method to concatenate two strings in a list is Concat4, which takes two IEnumerable(Of T) objects as arguments and returns a new IEnumerable(Of T) that contains the elements from both sources. For example, listOfStrings.Concat(new List(Of String) {“String_1”, “String_2”}).ToList().

Option C is incorrect because it uses an invalid LINQ method ToJSON. There is no such method in the LINQ library that can convert a list of integers to a JSON format. To achieve this, you need to use a JSON serializer, such as Newtonsoft.Json5, which provides methods to convert .NET objects to JSON and vice versa. For example, JsonConvert.SerializeObject(listOfIntegers).

Option D is incorrect because it uses an invalid LINQ method Split. There is no such method in the LINQ library that can split a DataTable into multiple smaller DataTables based on a specific condition. To achieve this, you need to use a group by clause in LINQ query syntax or a GroupBy extension method in LINQ method syntax6, which groups the rows of a DataTable by a key value and returns an IEnumerable(Of IGrouping(Of TKey, TElement)) object. Then, you can use a Select extension method to project each group into a new DataTable using the CopyToDataTable extension method. For example, dataTable.AsEnumerable().GroupBy(Function(row) row(“ColumnName”)).Select(Function(group) group.CopyToDataTable()).ToList().

The Add Log Fields activity adds custom log fields to the Robot Execution Logs, which are included in every Log Message execution throughout the entire workflow1. The custom log fields can be useful for adding more information and visibility to the logs, especially for transactional data processes2. However, the custom log fields are not permanent and can be removed by using the Remove Log Fields activity, which takes the name of the custom log field as an input1. The Remove Log Fields activity is usually placed at the end of a transaction, to reset and remove the custom log fields for the next transaction2. Therefore, the custom log fields will stop being added to the robot execution logs when a Remove Log Fields activity is used to remove them.

LINQ (Language Integrated Query) is a feature of .NET that allows you to write queries to manipulate data from various sources, such as arrays, collections, databases, or XML files. LINQ provides a set of methods that can be used to perform different operations on the data, such as filtering, sorting, grouping, aggregating, or transforming.

The LINQ method that is used to filter data in a List or DataTable based on a condition is Where. The Where method returns a new collection that contains only the elements that satisfy the specified condition. The condition is usually a lambda expression or a delegate that takes an element as a parameter and returns a Boolean value. For example, if you have a List of integers called numbers, you can write:

var evenNumbers = numbers.Where (x => x % 2 == 0);

This expression returns a new List that contains only the even numbers from the original List. Similarly, if you have a DataTable called employees, you can write:

var highSalary = employees.AsEnumerable ().Where (row => row.Field (\"Salary\") > 100000);

This expression returns a new DataTable that contains only the rows where the Salary column is greater than 100000. The AsEnumerable () method is used to convert the DataTable into an IEnumerable, which is required for using LINQ methods.

The other options are not LINQ methods that are used to filter data in a List or DataTable based on a condition. Option A, Select, is a LINQ method that is used to project or transform data from one form to another. It returns a new collection that contains the result of applying a function to each element of the source collection. Option B, GroupBy, is a LINQ method that is used to group data by a common key or attribute. It returns a new collection that contains groups of elements that share the same key value. Option C, OrderBy, is a LINQ method that is used to sort data in ascending order by a specified criterion. It returns a new collection that contains the elements of the source collection in sorted order.

The REFramework (Robotic Enterprise Framework) is a template that provides a standard structure and best practices for developing UiPath automation projects. It uses the concept of transactions to process items from a data source, such as an Excel table, a queue, or a database. A transaction is a single unit of work that can be executed by the robot. The REFramework has a variable called TransactionItem, which stores the current transaction to be processed.

The variable type of TransactionItem depends on the type of data source that is used for the transactions. If the data source is an Orchestrator queue, then the TransactionItem should be of type UiPath.Core.QueueItem, which represents an item from the queue. If the data source is an Excel table, then the TransactionItem should be of type System.Data.DataRow, which represents a row from the table. A DataRow object contains the values of a single row in a DataTable object, which represents the entire table.

In this scenario, the developer needs to use the REFramework to automate a business process that involves processing transactions within an Excel table. Each transaction in the table should follow the same steps for processing and queues cannot be used as there is no Orchestrator in the environment.Therefore, the best variable type for TransactionItem in this scenario is System.Data.DataRow, as it can store a single row from the Excel table as a transaction.

The other options are not suitable variable types for TransactionItem in this scenario. Option A is incorrect, because UiPath.Core.QueueItem is used for queue items, not Excel rows. Option B is incorrect, because System.Data.DataRow[] is an array of DataRow objects, not a single DataRow object. Option C is incorrect, because System.Data.DataTable is a table of DataRow objects, not a single DataRow object.

The Exit action in a state is an activity or a sequence of activities that are executed when the state is exited, before the transition to the next state occurs1. The purpose of the Exit action is to perform any final actions of the current state, such as closing applications, releasing resources, logging information, etc. The Exit action is executed even if the state transitions back to the same state2.

Option A is incorrect, because the Exit action does not stop the state machine’s execution, but rather prepares the state for the next transition. Option C is incorrect, because the Exit action does not revoke any entry actions, but rather complements them with any necessary exit actions. Option D is incorrect, because the Exit action does not define the conditions for the state transition, but rather executes after the conditions are evaluated.
