Robotic Process Automation (RPA)

I have finished the quiz given after finishing the "basic I" material, and I got 8 right questions out of 10, when I reviewed the wrong questions, I found that I answered right, and the score is flawed, here are the 2 questions:

Question text

In the WDG Automation Language (WAL), variables are a symbolic reference to the memory position that stores data at runtime. This data can be obtained by referencing the variable name using the syntax: ${<variable_name>}. 

Select one:

True

False 

Question 10

Incorrect

0.00 points out of 1.00

Flag question

Question text

Assign "True" or "False" to the following sentence. 

In WDG Automation Studio, several commands for handling files have the parameter "File System", which must be filled in for the correct handling of files. If the parameter is not entered, the script will run normally.

Select one:

True 

False

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In question one: the answer is wrong, here is a sample of the variable written in the studio --> ${dbConnection}

It's clear that those brackets "<>" doesn't exist in RPA IBM

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In question 10: the parameter "File System" is not mandatory as in the screenshot.

The command ran normally without entering it, so clearly the questions in the quiz are flawed, I hope the certificate doesn't have the same issue, cause if it's that way, I will answer right and get a bad score.

Thanks for highlighting this, Omar. Before diving into the details, I'd like to mention that these courses were crafted when the software was still under the WDG label before transitioning to IBM RPA. Many modifications have come into play since then. That said, I appreciate your sharp observations and here are my clarifications:

Regarding question 1, I believe the use of <> brackets aims to underscore the variable name. Nevertheless, it does come across as needlessly confusing.

Turning to question 10, it seems there's a discrepancy. The course mentions file systems as essential fields but suggests they can operate without intervention. On the face of it, the question seems accurate because the file system isn't obligatory... Still, I agree that it's unnecessarily confusing. I'd advise reaching out to the IBM Training support team with your insights. Moreover, reference this discussion if others chime in with their perspectives!
