Background:
City Power and Light is one of the biggest energy companies in North America. They extract, produce and transport oil. The company has more than 50 offices and 100 oil extraction facilities throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico. They use railways, trucks, and pipelines to move oil and gas from their facilities.
The company provides the following services:
* Produce oil from oil sands safely, responsibly, and reliably.
* Refine crude of into high-quality products.
* Develop and manage wind power facilities.
* Transport oil to different countries/regions.
City Power and Light uses various Microsoft software products to manage is daily actives and run its machine-critical applications.
Maintenance Tasks:
A user named Admin1 creates a cloud flow named ManagePipelineMaintenanceTasks. Admin1 applies a data loss prevention (DLP) policy to the flow. Admin1 shares the flow with a user named PipelineManager1 as co-owner. You must determine the actions that PipelineManager1 can perform.
Maintenance Scheduler:
You create a cloud flow that uses a desktop flow. The desktop flow connects to third-party services to fetch information. You must not permit the desktop flow to run for more than 20 minutes.
You must configure sharing for MaintenanceScheduler to meet the following requirements:
* User1 must be able to work with you to modify the desktop flow.
* User2 must be able to access and review the run history for the flow.
* You must grant User3 permissions to run but not modify the desktop flow.
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.
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.
Packaging:
You must package the automations in a solution. All required components must be included in the solution.
ProductionMonitor flow:
You create a cloud flow named ProductionMonitor which uses the Manually trigger a flow trigger. You plan to trigger ProductionMonitor from a cloud flow named ProdManager.
You add a Run a Child flow action in ProdManager to trigger ProductionMonitor. When you attempt to save ProdManager the following error message displays:
Request to XRM API failed with error: 'Message:Flow client error returned with status code "Bad request" and details "("error":
{"code":ChildFlowUnsupportedForinvokerConnections", "message": The workflow with id 8d3bcde7-7e98-eb11-b1ac-000d3a32d53f", named FlowA cannot be used as a child workflow because child workflows only support embedded connections. "}}"Code" 0x80060467 InnerError.'
CapacityPlanning flow:
Developers within the company use could flows to access data from an on-premises capacity planning system.
You observe significant increases to the volume of traffic that the on-premises data gateway processes each day. You must minimize gateway failures.
DataCollector flow:
You have a desktop flow that interacts with a web form. The flow must write data to several fields on the form.
You are testing the flow. The flow fails when attempting to write data to any field on the web form.
RailStatusUpdater flow:
The RailStatusUpdater flow occasionally fails due to machine connection errors. You can usually get the desktop flow to complete by resubmitting the cloud flow run. You must automate the retry process to ensure that you do not need to manually resubmit the cloud flow when machine connection errors occur.
You need to resolve the issue with the DataCollector flow.
What are two possible ways to achieve the goal? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.

What are two possible ways to achieve the goal? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
- AConfigure the Populate text field on a web page actions to continue running the flow in case of error.
- BReplace the Populate text field on a web page action with the Send keys action to write data.
- CRemove the Focus text field on a web page actions that precede actions which write data to text fields.
- DAdd an if web page contains action to determine whether a field exists and write data only when true.Most Voted
- EModify selectors to ensure that field attributes are mapped correctly.Most Voted
Correct Answer:
BC
BC

The correct solution to deal with issues of incorrect interaction with web forms in a desktop flow involves adjusting the actions to address potential misalignments and inefficiencies at the root level. Option B, which suggests replacing the 'Populate text field on a web page' action with the 'Send keys' action, is valid as it directly inputs key strokes into the field, mimicking manual entry which can bypass certain UI element issues not handled well by the direct populate action. Additionally, Option C, removing any 'Focus text field' actions before writing data, is effective because it reduces the complexity and potential points of failure, ensuring the flow doesn't halt due to focusing issues on incorrect or misaligned text fields. Together, these methods simplify interactions and increase reliability without modifying the web page's design or underlying selectors.

Question #2
You need to package the automations.
What should you do?
What should you do?
- AShow dependencies within the solution.
- BRemove unmanaged layers.
- CAdd existing components to the solution.
- DAdd required components to each item within the solution.Most Voted
Correct Answer:
D
D

In packaging automations for efficiency and functionality, it’s essential to include all necessary components directly associated with each solution item. This ensures that when the solution is moved or implemented elsewhere, it contains all the elements needed for proper function without dependencies on external or previously existing configurations.

- ASet the cloud flow priority.
- BModify or delete a flow.Most Voted
- CAdd or remove other owners.Most Voted
- DOverride the DLP policy.
- EModify the owner’s connection credentials.
- FView the run history.Most Voted
Correct Answer:
ABF
ABF

The correct actions that PipelineManager1 can perform are setting the cloud flow's priority, modifying or deleting a flow, and viewing the run history. It’s essential to understand that although other flow properties and user permissions can be managed, setting flow priorities and deleting or modifying an existing flow are critical capabilities linked directly to managerial privileges in Power Automate. Viewing the run history allows managers to monitor flow performance and troubleshoot when necessary. This understanding aligns with the guidelines provided in the official Microsoft documentation for Power Automate.

- ALaunch Power Automate for desktop.
- BNavigate to Desktop flow action settings in the cloud flow.Most Voted
- CSelect the Timeout property and update the duration to P20M.
- DSelect the Timeout property and update the duration to PT20M.Most Voted
- ESelect machine settings in Power Automate for desktop.
Correct Answer:
DE
DE

Selecting the Timeout property and updating its duration to PT20M is critical in configuring cloud flows for automation tasks where specific time boundaries need to be defined, ensuring processes do not run indefinitely. This setting can be done via the cloud flow's Desktop flow action settings. Additionally, modifying machine settings within Power Automate for desktop proves essential for setting up the environment from which the desktop flow will execute, linking the configuration directly between the Power Automate desktop and the cloud flow.
