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

To use UI Automation activities in a scenario where the destination remote computer is reached by jumping through multiple RDP connections, the following prerequisites are required:

Machine A - install the RDP extension. This extension enables the robot to generate native selectors over RDP connections and interact with the UI elements on the remote machines.

Machine B - install the RDP extension and the RemoteRuntime.msi. The RDP extension allows the robot to connect to Machine C from Machine B, while the RemoteRuntime component enables the communication between the robot and the UI elements on Machine B.

Machine C - install the RemoteRuntime.msi. This component enables the communication between the robot and the UI elements on Machine C, where the automation must be performed. References: [Remote Runtime Architecture], [Multiple RDP Connections], [UiPath Extension for Microsoft Remote Desktop and Apps]

LINQ (Language Integrated Query) in UiPath is used for efficient data manipulation. The LINQ query 'listOfintegers.Sum(Function(x) x)' correctly demonstrates how to sum integers in a list, making use of LINQ's straightforward and readable syntax.

When performing remote debugging using an unattended robot connection, Studio must ensure that the necessary project dependencies (such as activities or libraries) are available to the robot. The unattended robot retrieves these dependencies from external sources. Specifically, the robot downloads the required packages from:

Orchestrator feeds:These are package feeds configured in Orchestrator, such as internal libraries or activities deployed and managed via Orchestrator.

UiPath Official activity feed:This feed includes all the official packages provided by UiPath and is a central repository for activities used in automation projects.

While Studio and its local NuGet cache (as in option A) may store packages locally for the developer, when the project is run remotely, the unattended robot does not access the developer’s local cache. Instead, it relies on these external feeds (Orchestrator and UiPath Official activity feed) to ensure consistency and availability of the correct versions of dependencies. Option D is incorrect because the feeds configured in Studio do not directly affect where the robot downloads its dependencies.

The correct syntax for using the Vb.Net If operator is If(condition1, valueIfTrue, valueIfFalse). The If operator is a ternary operator that returns one of two values, depending on whether the condition is true or false. The condition must be a Boolean expression or a data type that can be implicitly converted to Boolean. The valueIfTrue and valueIfFalse arguments can be any data type, but they must be the same or implicitly convertible to a common type. The If operator uses short-circuit evaluation, which means that it only evaluates the argument that corresponds to the result of the condition. For example, thefollowing expression returns “Positive” if the variable number is greater than or equal to zero, and “Negative” otherwise:

VB Dim result As String = If(number >= 0, “Positive”, “Negative”) References: [If Operator], [Ternary Operator]

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]

To align with UiPath's best practices when updating the REFramework template for use with Orchestrator queues, the sequence of steps should ensure proper setup of the queues in Orchestrator, configuration of the project to interact with these queues, and implementation of the business logic to process items from the queues.

Here's how the steps should be sequenced:

Step 1: Create the queue in Orchestrator and set its Auto Retry value as required by the process documentation.This step ensures that the queue is available in Orchestrator with the correct settings before the automation attempts to interact with it.

Step 2: Edit the project's configuration file (Data/Config.xlsx) and configure parameters OrchestratorQueueName and OrchestratorQueueFolder.Once the queue is created, the next step is to ensure that the automation project is configured to reference the correct queue and folder within Orchestrator.

Step 3: Edit GetTransactionData.xaml workflow and assign a proper value for the out_TransactionID argument.This configuration allows the workflow to correctly fetch transaction items from the Orchestrator queue for processing.

Step 4: Edit workflow Process.xaml and implement the logic to process each TransactionItem.Finally, the core processing logic that operates on each queue item is implemented, allowing the automation to perform the necessary actions for each transaction.

The Strict Selector is a targeting method that uses the selector information of a UI element to identify it on the screen. It is one of the four targeting methods available in UiPath Studio, along with Fuzzy Selector, Image, and Computer Vision1. The Strict Selector is considered to be the most reliable and stable targeting method, as it uses the attributes and properties of the UI element that are unlikely to change2.

At indication time, the Strict Selector has the following functionalities available:

Open in UiExplorer: This option opens the UiPath Explorer window, where you can inspect and edit the selector information of the indicated UI element, as well as use advanced features such as anchors, wildcards, variables, and regex3.

Copy to clipboard: This option copies the selector information of the indicated UI element to the clipboard, so you can paste it elsewhere, such as in a text editor or another activity.

Show all matches: This option highlights all the UI elements on the screen that match the selector information of the indicated UI element. This helps you to check if there are any duplicates that might cause the automation to fail at runtime. You can also use the Ignore text option to exclude the text attribute from the selector information, which might reduce the number of matches4.

The other options are incorrect because:

Option A is incorrect because it does not include the Show all matches option, which is available for the Strict Selector.

Option B is incorrect because it does not include the Open in UiExplorer option, which is available for the Strict Selector.

Option D is incorrect because it includes the Accuracy option, which is not available for the Strict Selector. The Accuracy option is only available for the Image targeting method, which allows you to adjust the similarity threshold between the indicated image and the target image5.

The Verify Expression with Operator activity is used to verify an expression by asserting it in relation to a given expression with an operator1. The expressions tested with this activity must be inserted in their respective property fields. In this case, the activity is configured to verify if the expression “1” is equal to the expression “2”. The result of this verification is stored in the Result property, which reflects the state of the verification activity1. If the verification fails, the activity throws a TestingActivitiesException, which is a custom exception type defined by the UiPath.Testing.Activities package2.

The Try-Catch activity is used to catch a specified exception type in a sequence or activity, and either displays an error notification or dismisses it and continues the execution3. The activity has three main sections: Try, Catches, and Finally. The Try section holds the activity or set of activities that could throw an exception. The Catches section indicates the exception type and holds the activity or set of activities to be performed when the specified exception is thrown. The Finally section holds the activity or set of activities to be performed after the Try and Catches blocks are executed, regardless of the result3.

In this scenario, the Verify Expression with Operator activity is placed in the Try section of the Try-Catch activity. The Catches section has two exceptions caught: System.Exception and TestingActivitiesException. The Finally section is empty. During the execution of the sequence, the Verify Expression with Operator activity will throw a TestingActivitiesException, because the expressions 1 and 2 are not equal. The Try-Catch activity will catch this exception and enter the TestingActivitiesException sequence from the Catches section, where the appropriate actions can be performed to handle the error. Therefore, the correct answer is C. The Exception sequence from the Catches block within the Try-Catch activity will be entered first, after the Verify Expression with Operator activity is executed.

The other options are incorrect because:

Option A is incorrect because the Try-Catch activity will execute one of the blocks within the Catches section, depending on the type of exception thrown by the Verify Expression with Operator activity. In this case, the TestingActivitiesException sequence will be executed.

Option B is incorrect because the Finally block within the Try-Catch activity will be executed only after the Try and Catches blocks are executed, not before. The Finally block is used to perform any cleanup or final actions that are needed regardless of the outcome of the Try and Catches blocks3.

Option D is incorrect because the TestingActivitiesException sequence from the Catches block within the Try-Catch activity will be entered second, not first, after the Verify Expression with Operator activity is executed. The first block to be entered is the Try block, where the Verify Expression with Operator activity is placed.

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.
