PEGACPRSA22V1 Exam Dumps - Pegasystems PCRSA Questions and Answers

Application discovery is an early technical validation step that involves collecting the information about applications in scope of a potential robotics use case. During discovery you need to find out application types (and if they are on applications support matrix for Pega Robotics), how they are launched, how they are used, and check accessibility and functionality of the controls through interrogation. Application discovery is necessary to ensure that robotics use case is viable and it doesn't have any technical constraints... or, if constraints exist, then what kind of workarounds will be necessary to ensure the use case is successful. The rationale for having application discovery as a best practice is that you don't want to find out half-way through coding an automation that a key control is not available or not performing the desired action.

According to Pega Robotics Studio – DateTime Utilities and Comparison Logic (Automation Components Reference Guide):

“The DateTimeUtil component provides functionality for manipulating and comparing date and time values. The component can return the result of comparing two DateTime variables as Before, Equal, or After, depending on whether the first date occurs earlier, is the same, or occurs later than the second date.”

In this automation:

firstDateToCompare = 12/31/2022

secondDateToCompare = 1/1/2022

As per Pega Robotics internal logic (based on .NET DateTime structure used within the platform):

“When two DateTime values are compared, if the first value represents a later point in time than the second value, the comparison returns ‘After’. The automation then executes the path corresponding to that result.”

Since 12/31/2022 occurs after 1/1/2022, the “After” branch executes.

That branch contains the following operation:

“The AddDays method adds the specified number of days to the current DateTime value and returns a new DateTime object that represents the resulting date and time.”

The automation adds 15 days to firstDateToCompare, resulting in:

firstDateToCompare = 1/15/2023

secondDateToCompare remains 1/1/2022 (unchanged)

Finally, the automation displays both values using the MessageDialog component.

“Use the MessageDialog component to display messages or variable values during runtime execution for verification or interaction with the user.”

Final Verified Outcome

firstDateToCompare = 1/15/2023

secondDateToCompare = 1/1/2022

Therefore, the correct answer is Option D.

According to Pega Robotics Studio – Matching and Interrogation Tools Documentation:

“Matching defines how a control is identified at runtime. When application hierarchies change or specific match rules fail, Robot Studio provides diagnostic tools to reestablish and verify the correct control associations.”

The guide specifies the following tools and their purpose:

Refresh Matching

“Refresh Matching updates the control’s properties and hierarchy information based on the current application structure without re-interrogating the control. This tool is useful when an application’s DOM or hierarchy has changed.”

Debug Matching

“Debug Matching opens the Match Rules Diagnostics window and evaluates each match rule in real-time to show which rules pass or fail. It assists in identifying which match rule must be corrected or replaced.”

By contrast:

Replace Matching – Recreates the match rules from scratch (not the preferred first step).

Replace Control – Reinterrogates the entire control and removes existing references (used only when the control is entirely invalid).

Debug Control – Analyzes properties but not matching logic.

Thus, the two correct tools to address the described issues are:

Refresh Matching (for hierarchy change)

Debug Matching (for failed rule troubleshooting)
