NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:



Box 1: When a new email arrives
ERPDataOperations flow
City Power and light uses an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. The ERP system does not have an API.

Each day the company receives an email that contains an attachment. The attachment lists orders from the company’s rail transportation partners. You must create an automation solution that reads the contents of the email and writes records to the ERP system. The solution must pass credential from a cloud flow to a desktop flow.

Box 2: Input
Input and output variables
Power Automate enables data exchange between cloud and desktop flows through the input and output variables. These variables are passed to and from desktop flows, allowing you to create sophisticated flows.

Additionally, you can use input variables to set values manually when the flows are triggered through the console.

You need to configure the RailStatusUpdater cloud flow.
What should you do?

  1. Create a JavaScript function to update the run mode values of each action within the desktop flow.
  2. Manually update each desktop flow action to change the run mode.
  3. Create a desktop flow to update the run mode values of each action within the cloud flow.
  4. Create an environment variable. Update each desktop flow action to read the variable.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

RailStatusUpdater
City Power and Light actively monitors all products in transit. You must create a flow named RailStatusUpdater that manages communications with railways that transport the company’s products. RailStatusUpdater includes five desktop flow actions.

You must run the desktop flows in attended mode during testing. You must run the desktop flows in unattended mode after you deploy the solution. You must minimize administrative efforts.

Note: Windows has a built-in feature called Environment variables that allows people to store data that can be used by applications. The Microsoft documentation describes Environment variables as: “store information about the operating system environment. This information includes details such as the operating system path, the number of processors used by the operating system, and the location of temporary folders.”

When it comes to automation, there is naturally a need to manage configuration such as file paths. We can use Environment variables to store locations that we can access from Power Automate Desktop.

You have an automation solution that uses a desktop flow. The flow reads data from a file that is stored on a user’s machine and writes the data to an application. You import the solution to an environment that is connected to another user’s machine.

The user reports that the flow fails. An alert indicates that the path to a file does not exist. You confirm that the file present on the user’s desktop.
You need to resolve the issue.
What should you do?

  1. Move the file to the user’s documents folder.
  2. Delete and recreate the file.
  3. Move the file to the user’s OneDrive storage.
  4. Change the location of the file to a specific path that is not dependent on the signed-in user.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Handling files and their content is essential for most automation scenarios. You can use the file actions to manage files, retrieve their properties, read and write data, and convert them to other types.

Most file actions require paths that specify the files you want to manipulate. These paths can be hard-coded values or file datatype variables.

Similarly, you can populate a hard-coded value or a folder datatype variable to specify a destination folder in the actions that need one.
