A PDD has been created which includes a requirement to log in to an application called CDS. The CDS application only allows a user account to be logged into the application on one machine at a time. The client wishes to hold the credentials for logging into CDS in the Blue Prism Credential store.

It has been calculated that the automated solution will require 3 resource PC's to enable the case volume to be worked within SLA's.

Which is the most appropriate design decision to accommodate the above requirements?

A. Create user accounts and sets of Credentials per Resource PC in the Blue Prism Credential Manager for the CDS Application.

B. Ask IT to enable concurrent logins to the CDS application for Blue Prism User Accounts.

C. Login in to the CDS application manually and let Blue Prism take over once the login is complete.

D. Create a single Credential in the Blue Prism Credential Manager for the CDS Application. Use a Blue Prism Environment Lock to ensure that only one Resource PC can be logged in to the CDS application at a time.

The following sub-page in a process creates an order in an order system.

The Actions called perform the following steps:

Navigate to New Order – The application is navigated to a new order screen. There is a wait stage to confirm the navigation is successful – if this wait stage times out, an exception is configured which will bubble up to this page.

Enter Order Details – The Order details are entered triggering a ‘Confirm Order’ window. At this page, the order has not been submitted. There is a wait stage to confirm the ‘Confirm Order’ window has appeared – if this stage times out, an exception is configured which will bubble up to this page.

Submit Order – The order is confirmed and placed in the Client's order system. There is a wait stage, for a reference number, configured that the order has been successfully submitted. If this wait stage times out, an exception is configured which will bubble up to this page. There is a known bug in the application which results in the application occasionally freezing when an order is submitted but before the reference number is displayed, thus leaving the user uncertain if the order has been successfully submitted or not.

Get Reference Number – A resultant reference number is read from the application.
