APD01 Exam - Question 17

An Insurance company has created 4 Blue Prism processes:

✑ Change of Address

✑ Claims Processing

✑ Renewals

Order Letter -

The Order Letter process is not a published process but is called as a sub process by each of the 3 other processes.

Each day at 6am a scheduler starts:

✑ 2 instances of the Renewals process on the same virtual machine

✑ 9 instances of the Claims Processing process on 3 different virtual machines

✑ 1 instance of the Change of Address process on its own virtual machine

How many robot licenses will be consumed by the running processes?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: B

The total number of robot licenses consumed by the running processes would be 12. The license consumption is based on the number of sessions that are concurrently running, regardless of the virtual machines they are running on. There are 2 sessions of the Renewals process, 9 sessions of the Claims Processing process, and 1 session of the Change of Address process, totaling 12 sessions. Thus, 12 licenses are necessary for these sessions to run concurrently.

Answer is B Look in Control Room at the number of sessions that are concurrently running. It doesn't matter which process it is or which runtime resource(s) is being used. The license consumption/limitation is purely calculated by adding up the total number of sessions that are active in some way, which includes pending, running, warning, stopping, etc. So, basically all sessions that are other than Completed, Terminated, or Stopped are counted up and that's the license usage. If you have 1 runtime resource running 2 sessions, then that's 2 "licenses" consumed. If you have 2 runtime resources running 1 session each, then that's 2 licenses consumed. If you have 2 runtime resources with 2 sessions each, then that's 4 licenses consumed.

A is correct. The max number of machines used is 5. It doesn't matter the number of process, each license is distributed to each machine. At my employer we have 12 licenses and over 30 processes that run across those 12 machines.
