1What is the minimum supported Windows Server version for a Blue Prism v7 production installation?

A.Windows Server 2012 R2

B.Windows Server 2016

C.Windows Server 2019

D.Windows Server 2022 only

Explanation: Blue Prism v7 requires Windows Server 2019 or later for production deployments. Windows Server 2012 R2 and 2016 are not supported for v7 installations. While Windows Server 2022 is also supported, 2019 is the minimum — not 2022-only. Always verify hardware/OS requirements against the current Blue Prism Installation Guide before deploying.

2Which version of the .NET Framework is required for Blue Prism v7 server components?

A..NET Framework 4.6

B..NET Framework 4.7.2

C..NET Framework 4.8

D..NET 6.0 (Core)

Explanation: .NET Framework 4.8 is required for Blue Prism v7 server and client components. .NET Framework 4.6 and 4.7.2 are insufficient and will cause installation or runtime failures. Blue Prism v7 does not use .NET Core or .NET 6.0 — it targets the Windows-only .NET Framework stack.

3A customer wants to install Blue Prism Hub and Interact. Which additional IIS prerequisite must be installed on the server?

A.IIS FTP server role

B.IIS with Application Request Routing (ARR) and URL Rewrite module

C.IIS Basic Authentication only

D.IIS is not required — Hub uses its own embedded web server

Explanation: Blue Prism Hub and Interact require IIS with the Application Request Routing (ARR) extension and the URL Rewrite module. ARR is used as the reverse proxy to route requests to the Hub and Interact applications. Basic Authentication alone is insufficient, and Hub/Interact do not ship with an embedded web server — IIS is mandatory.

4What is the default TCP port used by the Blue Prism Server (BPServer) for client and Resource PC connections?

A.443

B.8181

C.8199

D.1433

Explanation: Port 8199 is the default TCP port used by the Blue Prism Server service (BPServer.exe) for communications with Interactive Clients and Resource PCs. Port 8181 is used by Blue Prism Hub. Port 443 is standard HTTPS, and 1433 is the default SQL Server port — neither is the Blue Prism Server default.

5Which SQL Server version is the minimum supported for Blue Prism v7 database creation?

A.SQL Server 2012

B.SQL Server 2014

C.SQL Server 2016

D.SQL Server 2019

Explanation: SQL Server 2016 is the minimum supported version for Blue Prism v7 databases. SQL Server 2012 and 2014 are not supported for v7 deployments. SQL Server 2019 is supported and may offer performance benefits, but SQL Server 2016 is the minimum required version.

6What is the required database collation when creating a new Blue Prism database on SQL Server?

A.Latin1_General_CI_AI

B.SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS

C.SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CS_AS

D.Latin1_General_BIN

Explanation: Blue Prism requires the SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS collation for its databases. This collation is case-insensitive (CI) and accent-sensitive (AS). Using a different collation can cause issues with stored procedure execution and data retrieval. The collation must be set at database creation time and matches what the installer expects.

7During a standard Blue Prism v7 installation, what is the default name for the production database?

A.BluePrismDB

B.BPA_v7

C.BPA_Production

D.BluePrism_Prod

Explanation: The Blue Prism installer defaults to BPA_v7 as the database name for a new v7 installation. The name BPA_Production is sometimes used in documentation examples for naming conventions in enterprise environments, but the default offered by the installer is BPA_v7. Administrators can change this during the installation wizard.

8What are the three authentication modes available when configuring a Blue Prism Server connection?

A.Windows, Forms, Certificate

B.Native, Single Sign-On (AD), Certificate

C.LDAP, SAML, OAuth

D.Local, Domain, Token

Explanation: Blue Prism Server supports three authentication modes: Native (Blue Prism's built-in username/password), Single Sign-On using Active Directory (AD), and Certificate-based authentication. These are configured in the Blue Prism Server settings and determine how clients and Resource PCs authenticate to the BPServer service.

9A Resource PC is configured as a Runtime Resource. What is the primary purpose of this role?

A.Allowing human users to log in and interact with Blue Prism processes

B.Running automated processes without human interaction

C.Hosting the Blue Prism Server service

D.Storing Blue Prism process definitions in the database

Explanation: A Runtime Resource is a Resource PC configured to run automated Blue Prism processes without human interaction. The machine typically runs headlessly and is managed by the Blue Prism Control Room. Interactive Client mode (not Runtime Resource) allows human users to interact. The Blue Prism Server service and database hosting are separate infrastructure roles.

10Which port does Blue Prism Hub use for its web interface by default?

A.80

B.8080

C.8181

D.8199

Explanation: Blue Prism Hub uses port 8181 by default for its web interface. This is distinct from BPServer which uses 8199. Network firewall rules must be configured to allow traffic on 8181 for users accessing the Hub dashboard. Port 80 and 8080 are common HTTP ports but are not Blue Prism Hub defaults.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the minimum requirements for Blue Prism v7?

Blue Prism v7 requires Windows Server 2019 or later, .NET Framework 4.8, and SQL Server 2016 or later. The database must use SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS collation. BPServer communicates on TCP port 8199 by default. TLS 1.2 or higher must be enforced.

What ports does Blue Prism use?

Blue Prism Server (BPServer) uses TCP port 8199 for client and Resource PC connections. Blue Prism Hub uses port 8181. SQL Server uses its default port 1433. Ensure firewall rules allow these ports between the appropriate components.

Does Blue Prism require internet access?

No — Blue Prism validates licenses locally in the SQL database. It does not require ongoing internet connectivity for runtime operation, making it suitable for air-gapped environments.

What is the correct SQL Server collation for Blue Prism?

Blue Prism requires the SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS collation. This must be set at database creation time. Using a different collation can cause stored procedure and query failures.

How does Blue Prism High Availability work?

Blue Prism HA uses multiple BPServer nodes behind a load balancer, all connecting to a shared SQL Server database. SQL Server Always On Availability Groups or Log Shipping provides database replication. Blue Prism has no built-in cluster manager — load balancing is handled by external infrastructure.

What must be backed up for Blue Prism disaster recovery?

A complete Blue Prism DR backup requires: (1) SQL Server database backup, (2) SSL/TLS certificates with private keys, and (3) Blue Prism configuration files (.bpserver, BPServer.config). Without all three components, full recovery after a disaster may not be possible.
