APPIAN SENIOR DEVELOPER STUDY EXAM GUIDE
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS SURE A+
✔✔You are about to deploy a package to another environment. Which two statements
are true? (Choose two.) - ✔✔It is not possible to undo changes from an import to all
types of objects, It is possible to import the same package multiple times.
✔✔You are code-checking your colleague's process model before marking it as Ready
for Deployment. Which three best practices should be applied? (Choose three.) - ✔✔All
XOR/OR gateways should have a single incoming ow, All outgoing flows from a
gateway should be labeled, Node inputs should not make the same query call more
than once
✔✔You want to display a Gender dropdown, and its choice label may change in the
future as per the business requirement. Given transactional database tables rely on this
data for reporting, what is the most appropriate action? - ✔✔Create these entries in a
table and reference them through a query entity rule as per the business requirement
✔✔You are using pie charts. What is correct representation of Appian best practices? -
✔✔Use pie charts to show proportional data.
✔✔You create an Integration that modifies the data. In which three locations can it be
called? (Choose three.) - ✔✔SAIL saveinto parameter, Web API (POST, PUT,
DELETE), Process model
✔✔Your organization is considering options for integrating with external systems from
within Appian. Which Appian object is designed to allow you to share base URL and
authentication details across multiple integrations? - ✔✔A connected system
✔✔You need to create a plug-in to perform a job in the background. The plug-in should
not be available under an expression rule, connected system, or the process model.
What type of plug-in should you create? - ✔✔Servlet
✔✔As a developer, you have created a Web API. To execute the API, what is the
minimum privilege the end user should have? - ✔✔Viewer
✔✔You are reviewing a recent Health Check report and notice that a process model
has high memory consumption. What are three possible reasons for this? (Choose
three.) - ✔✔Too many process variables, Nested CDTs with large numbers of fields,
Too many nodes
✔✔You need to update the archival settings for a process model. You modified the
automatic process clean-up settings and selected the archive processes option with 'n'
, days. Which instances of that process model will be affected? - ✔✔Future and past
instances of the process model.
✔✔Users are reporting that a task on a newly-launched process in Production is slow to
respond to user input.What is the likely cause? - ✔✔There are too many SAIL
components on the task.
✔✔You are analyzing a poorly-performing process model. You find that the process
model in question has a lot of nodes and is mainly used to do background updates.
Which two things can be done to increase its performance? (Choose two.) - ✔✔Remove
all activity chaining, Refactor some nodes into subprocesses when possible
✔✔Your organization is considering automating the running of expression rule test
cases to provide unit tests for your Appian applications.Which three methods could be
used to launch a test run when required? (Choose three.) - ✔✔A process model
invoked via an API, A process model exposed to users as an action, A SAIL interface
embedded in a report
✔✔The IT stakeholder wants to understand which processes have the highest
footprint.What are the two places to get information on process model memory usage?
(Choose two.) - ✔✔Process monitoring tab, Appian Health Check report
✔✔You create an interface, but it fails to load. When you open the design errors log,
you see a memory circuit breaker error.What are two possible root causes of this error?
(Choose two.) - ✔✔The interface is storing too much data in local variables, The
interface component is looping over too many items.
✔✔Users are reporting that their application is slow to load customer records with many
transactions. Using performance monitoring tools, you find that the following interface
definition is responsible for the vast majority of page load time:
You also notice that both queries (rule!APP_GetTransactionsWithFilters and
rule!APP_GetTransactionTypeWithFilters) take about 25 milliseconds each to execute
when you test them using expression editor.Which change would decrease the load
time of this interfa - ✔✔Use a synced record for Transactions to improve the query
response time for the query performed on line 6 ??
✔✔You are designing a case management application. The initiator creates a case, and
the reviewer reviews it approximately 7 days later. You have already designed a
process model for the initiators to create the case. Which process model design will
result in the lowest memory impact? - ✔✔When all case details are entered, the case
appears as a case record, and when the reviewer is ready to review the record, they
can do so via a related action from the case record
