NEW QUESTION # 26
The main goal of using SSO in an Archer environment is to:
- A. Bypass the default Archer Security Parameters for the user
- B. Have end users insert their username and password each time they log into Archer
- C. Facilitate the login experience to Admin users only
- D. Facilitate the login experience to end users by using only one set of credentials across all their applications
Answer: D
Explanation:
The primary driver for Single Sign-On (SSO) in an Archer environment is user convenience and centralized identity management. As taught in Archer Administration II , the "goal" of SSO is to reduce the friction of accessing the platform. By allowing users to leverage their existing corporate credentials (via SAML, Windows Integrated, or LDAP), they can access Archer without needing to maintain a separate, "native" Archer password.
This strategy improves security by centralizing credential management in a single Identity Provider (IdP), where Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and account revocation policies can be strictly enforced. Option A is incorrect because SSO actually helps enforce enterprise security parameters rather than bypassing them.
Option B is false because SSO is intended for all users, not just admins. Option C describes the opposite of SSO. Ultimately, the successful implementation of SSO ensures that users have a seamless transition into Archer while the organization maintains a high standard of access control.
NEW QUESTION # 27
Failed user login, Access Role Created and Deleted, and password change by user events are viewed in:
- A. Security Events Report
- B. Locked Accounts Report
- C. Access Control Rights by Role Report
Answer: A
Explanation:
The Security Events Report is the primary auditing tool for tracking administrative and sensitive user actions within the Archer platform. According to the Archer Administration II curriculum, this report captures a broad spectrum of "event-based" security data that standard access reports do not cover.
Specifically, it logs every failed login attempt , which is critical for identifying potential brute-force attacks.
It also tracks metadata changes to the security infrastructure, such as when an Access Role is created or deleted , providing an audit trail of who modified the system's permissions. Furthermore, it records password changes initiated by users. While the "Locked Accounts Report" (Option B) only shows users currently barred from the system, the Security Events Report provides the historical context of why those events occurred. It is an essential resource for compliance officers and system auditors to ensure that the integrity of the Archer environment's security configuration remains intact.
NEW QUESTION # 28
Which action is recommended before updating an Archer Advanced Workflow?
- A. No special action is needed since Advanced Workflow automatically returns all actively enrolled records to the Start node.
- B. Add an error handling node at the end for the workflow to catch records which generate errors as a result of the update.
- C. Open the application and deactivate Advanced Workflow before making changes to the workflow process, then reactivate the workflow so all records update.
- D. Complete all active jobs before updating the Advanced Workflow.
Answer: C
Explanation:
According to the Advanced Workflow Beyond the Basics curriculum, the safest administrative practice when modifying an active workflow is to briefly deactivate it. When you deactivate the workflow, you prevent new records from entering a potentially "in-flux" process while you are saving new versions.
Once the changes are finalized and the new version is saved, reactivating the workflow allows the system to initialize the new logic. It is important to note that reactivating the workflow does not automatically update existing records (as discussed in previous questions regarding Bulk Update Jobs), but it ensures that the transition between versions is "clean." Option D is often impossible in a production environment with thousands of active records. Option B is factually incorrect as records do not return to the Start node; they stay exactly where they were in their specific version. Deactivating ensures that the Advanced Workflow Service doesn't attempt to process a record against a design that is currently being overwritten or modified by the administrator.
NEW QUESTION # 29
What are the prerequisites for installing Archer? Select all that apply.
- A. .NET Framework
- B. SQL Server
- C. Apache Runtime Environment
- D. IIS
Answer: A,B,D
Explanation:
Archer is a Windows-based enterprise application that relies on the Microsoft technology stack. As detailed in the Archer Installation and Troubleshooting guide, there are three primary prerequisites for a successful deployment:
* IIS (Internet Information Services): This is the web server that hosts the Archer web interface and APIs.
* SQL Server: Archer requires a Microsoft SQL Server database to store all application data, metadata, and the instance configurations.
* Microsoft .NET Framework: Archer is built on .NET; specific versions (such as 4.7.2 or higher, depending on the Archer version) must be installed for the web and service components to function.
Apache (Option A) is an alternative web server used primarily for Linux-based environments and is not a prerequisite or a supported web server for the Archer platform.
NEW QUESTION # 30
Which is NOT a valid question type in the Question Library?
- A. User/Groups List
- B. Date
- C. Values List
- D. Attachment
Answer: D
Explanation:
While the standard Archer Application Builder supports a wide array of field types, the Questionnaire module uses a more specialized subset of fields within the Question Library . According to the Questionnaires and Assessment Maintenance curriculum, questions are designed to gather specific response data that can be scored.
Valid question types include Values List (for multiple choice), Date (for timestamped responses), Numeric (for quantitative data), and Text (for qualitative comments). The User/Groups List is also a valid question type, often used to identify stakeholders or owners during an assessment. However, an Attachment is not a standalone question type in the library. In Archer Questionnaires, attachments are typically handled as
"supporting evidence" linked to a specific question or the record as a whole, but you cannot define a question as an "Attachment type" in the same way you define a "Values List" question.
NEW QUESTION # 31
The HR department needs to update their business hierarchy. The most updated instance of the business hierarchy is stored in Archer. They have no direct access to Archer. As an administrator, you are asked to extract this data and load it into an external database. Which feature allows you to do so?
- A. Data Import
- B. Data Feed
- C. Data Publication
- D. Data Gateway
Answer: C
Explanation:
While the Data Feed Manager (Option C) is primarily used to bring data into Archer, the Data Publication Service (DPS) is the specific tool designed to push data out of Archer into an external SQL Server database.
As taught in the Data Integration module of Administration II, Data Publication allows an administrator to define a "Publication Task" that maps Archer applications and levels to external database tables.
This is the ideal solution for Sarah's HR request because the HR department can then point their own reporting tools or databases to that external "target" database without ever needing an Archer login. Data Gateway (Option B) is a legacy term or refers to specific API connectors, and Data Import (Option D) is strictly for ingestion. Data Publication ensures that the most recent "Golden Record" of the business hierarchy in Archer is synchronized to the external environment on a scheduled basis, maintaining data consistency across the enterprise.
NEW QUESTION # 32
If a Data Feed is stuck in the status of "Pending", which service should you check first to troubleshoot the issue?
- A. Indexing service
- B. Queuing service
- C. Configuration service
- D. Job Engine service
Answer: D
Explanation:
In modern Archer environments (post-version 6.x), the Archer Job Engine Service is the primary service responsible for executing asynchronous tasks, including Data Feeds. When a Data Feed is initiated, it is placed in the queue. If the status remains "Pending," it indicates that the task has been recognized by the database, but no service has "picked it up" to begin processing.
As detailed in the Archer Administration II troubleshooting modules, the Job Engine is the "worker" that handles these requests. If this service is stopped, paused, or stuck on the application server, all scheduled and manual feeds will remain in a "Pending" state indefinitely. While the Queuing Service (Option D) is involved in the initial placement of the task, the actual execution and the transition out of "Pending" into "In Progress" is the responsibility of the Job Engine. The Indexing Service (Option C) handles search keyword indexing and is unrelated to data feed execution.
NEW QUESTION # 33
Assume you make changes to an existing workflow design but you don't run the Bulk Update Jobs. What will happen to any records which existed before making the changes to the AWF?
- A. The jobs will be marked as cancelled
- B. The records will process in the original version they were enrolled in.
- C. The records will automatically enroll in the new version of AWF
- D. The active jobs for these records will fail
Answer: B
Explanation:
In Archer Advanced Workflow, "Versioning" is a core concept designed to ensure data integrity. When a record enters a workflow, it is "enrolled" in the specific version of the workflow that is active at that moment.
According to the Advanced Workflow Beyond the Basics curriculum, if an administrator modifies the workflow (e.g., adding a new node or changing a path) and saves it as a new version, the existing records do not automatically move to that new version.
Instead, they remain in the original version they were enrolled in. This prevents active records from
"breaking" if a node they were currently sitting on was deleted in the newer version. To move existing records to the latest logic, the administrator must manually use the Bulk Update Jobs tool found in the Advanced Workflow tab of the application. This tool validates whether the records can safely transition from the old version's current state to a corresponding state in the new version. Without this manual action, the records will continue to follow the "legacy" path until they complete the workflow.
NEW QUESTION # 34
Which of the following Advanced Search features would allow you to build a top-down organizational hierarchy of all employees in the Contacts Application?
- A. External References and Enforce Relationships
- B. Internal References and Directional Search
- C. Drill Down Reporting
- D. Statistical Search
Answer: B
Explanation:
To build a hierarchical view within a single application (like a "Manager" field in the Contacts application that points back to another record in the Contacts application), Archer utilizes Internal References . As taught in the Archer Administration II Advanced Search module, when an application references itself, you can use Directional Search logic to traverse the hierarchy.
By configuring the search to look "Upstream" or "Downstream" through the internal reference, Archer can recursively find all subordinates under a manager or all managers above an employee. This allows the system to flatten a complex organizational tree into a readable report. External References (Option B) are used between different applications, and Statistical Search (Option D) is used for mathematical aggregations (Sum, Count, Average). Only the combination of Internal References and Directional Search provides the specialized recursive logic required to map out a multi-level organizational hierarchy.
NEW QUESTION # 35
Where are LDAP-related errors logged?
- A. Data Feed Service log file
- B. Configuration service log file
- C. Queuing service log file
- D. Job framework log file
Answer: D
Explanation:
LDAP Synchronization is an asynchronous task managed by the Archer Job Engine . According to the Archer Installation and Troubleshooting guide, all tasks that are processed by the background Job Engine- including Recalculations, Notifications, and LDAP Syncs-capture their detailed execution data and error stack traces in the Job Framework log files .
These logs are typically found on the Services server in the \Logs directory (e.g., Archer.JobFramework.log).
When an LDAP sync fails (perhaps due to a service account lockout or a network timeout reaching the Domain Controller), the error will not appear in the Configuration Service (Option D), which only handles ACP settings, nor the Queuing Service (Option C), which only manages the "hand-off" of tasks. The Job Framework log is the granular technical record that administrators must consult to identify the specific LDAP error codes (like "52e" for invalid credentials) returned by the directory server.
NEW QUESTION # 36
What does the Archer Job Monitor front-end report display?
- A. User access logs
- B. System performance metrics
- C. A list of all jobs and their run history
- D. Security alerts
Answer: C
Explanation:
The Archer Job Monitor is a dedicated administrative interface found within the "Administration" workspace. It is the primary dashboard for monitoring the health of the Archer Job Engine . According to the curriculum, the Job Monitor provides visibility into both scheduled and ad-hoc background tasks, including Data Feeds, Data Publication, Notifications, and Recalculations.
The report displays a chronological list of jobs, their current status (Queued, In Progress, Completed, or Failed), and their start/end times. This is the first place an administrator looks if a notification wasn't sent or a data feed didn't update. Unlike "User access logs" (which track logins) or "System performance metrics" (which are found in the ACP or IIS), the Job Monitor is focused strictly on the execution history of background system tasks, allowing administrators to identify bottlenecks or specific job failures without needing access to the server's event logs.
NEW QUESTION # 37
Which of the following Advanced Workflow nodes allows you to set a timer after which the record is automatically rerouted?
- A. User Action node
- B. Update Content node
- C. Wait for Content Update node
- D. Send Notification node
Answer: C
Explanation:
In the Advanced Workflow Beyond the Basics curriculum, the Wait for Content Update node is identified as the primary tool for time-based automation. While its name suggests it is waiting for a user to change a field, its secondary function is to act as a SLA (Service Level Agreement) timer .
Within the node configuration, an administrator can define an "Escalation" or "Timeout" path. You can set a specific duration (e.g., 5 days). If the expected content update does not occur within that timeframe, the node
"times out" and automatically reroutes the record down a secondary transition path-typically to a manager's review or an automated notification. While a User Action node (Option B) can have a "due date," it does not automatically move the record to a different path solely based on time without the Wait for Content Update node logic. Update Content (Option D) and Send Notification (Option A) nodes are instantaneous actions and do not possess the ability to "pause" and monitor for duration.
NEW QUESTION # 38
Which button on the record can you use to invoke a Mail Merge Template?
- A. Export
- B. Email
- C. Extract
- D. Related
Answer: A
Explanation:
The Mail Merge functionality in Archer allows administrators to take record data and push it into a pre- formatted Word or PDF template. This is a common requirement for generating formal "Exception Letters" or
"Audit Reports."
As taught in the Archer Administration II curriculum, when a user is viewing a record and wishes to generate one of these documents, they must click the Export button. Upon clicking Export, the user is presented with several options: standard exports (like CSV or Rich Text) and any Mail Merge Templates that have been associated with that specific application and made available to the user's role. Option B (Email) is used for sending on-demand notifications, not for generating formatted document templates based on Word/PDF layouts.
NEW QUESTION # 39
Which of the following is TRUE about limiting the number of records in your search results using the Advanced Search feature?
- A. You cannot limit the number of records in your search results without the use of filters.
- B. You can either limit results to a specific number of records or a percentage of the total number of records.
- C. You can only limit results to a percentage of the total number of records.
- D. You can only limit results to a specific number of records.
Answer: B
Explanation:
Archer's Advanced Search provides sophisticated control over how data is returned to the user. Within the search configuration tabs, there is a section dedicated to Result Limits . As detailed in the Archer Administration II search module, this feature is essential for optimizing performance and creating specific types of reports (like "Top 10" or "Bottom 5%").
The administrator has the flexibility to limit the results in two ways:
* Fixed Number: For example, "Show only the first 50 records."
* Percentage: For example, "Show only the top 10% of records."
This is often combined with sorting; if you sort by "Risk Score" descending and limit the results to the top 10 records, you have successfully created a "Top 10 Risks" report. These limits are applied after the filters have narrowed down the dataset but before the data is rendered in the UI or exported. This dual-capability ensures that administrators can build reports that meet precise business requirements, whether they are based on a specific count or a statistical distribution.
NEW QUESTION # 40
What happens if an Administrator runs a Data Import source file that contains a value for a Values List field that is not an existing value?
- A. The Data Import fails unless this new value is appended to the values available for selection.
- B. The new value will be added to the record only with no change to the Values List field values.
- C. The new value will be added to the record and appended to the Values List field values available for selection.
- D. The Data Import will process and this value will be discarded.
Answer: A
Explanation:
In Archer, Values List fields are strictly validated against the pre-defined options in the field configuration.
During a manual Data Import , if the source file contains a value that does not exactly match an existing entry in the Values List, the import for that specific record (or the entire process, depending on settings) will fail.
According to the Archer Administration II guide, for the import to succeed with new data, the administrator must first enable the "Create new values for Values List fields" option in the Data Import settings. If this is not enabled, Archer treats the unknown value as an error. This is a critical data integrity feature that prevents
"dirty data" from entering the system. Unlike a Data Feed, which has more advanced "lookup" and "creation" logic, the Data Import tool is less flexible by default to ensure administrators are consciously deciding whether to expand the application's metadata.
NEW QUESTION # 41
When importing data through the Data Import Wizard, if you choose the Import Type as "Update Existing Records", which of the following is true?
- A. Matching records will be updated and unmatched records will be added as new records.
- B. Matching records will be updated and unmatched records will be discarded.
- C. A number of the matching records will be updated.
- D. Matching records will be discarded and unmatched records will be added as new records.
Answer: B
Explanation:
The Data Import Wizard offers three distinct processing modes: "Add New Records," "Update Existing Records," and "Add New and Update Existing Records." According to the Archer Administration II curriculum, the "Update Existing Records" mode is highly restrictive. It is used when an administrator only wants to modify records that already reside in the system.
During the import, Archer uses the specified Key Field(s) to find matches between the source file and the target application. If a match is found, the existing record is updated with the new data from the source file.
However, if a row in the source file does not have a corresponding match in Archer, that row is simply ignored and discarded . No new records are created. This is a safety measure to prevent the accidental creation of "orphan" or duplicate data when the intent is strictly maintenance of existing content. If an administrator wishes to both update matches and create new records for non-matches, they must specifically choose the "Add New and Update Existing Records" (Upsert) option.
NEW QUESTION # 42
What should you do if the LDAP status remains QUEUED for an extended period?
- A. Reconfigure the LDAP settings
- B. Restart the server
- C. Ensure the Archer LDAP synchronization service is running
- D. Check the network connection
Answer: C
Explanation:
In the Archer environment, LDAP synchronization is an asynchronous process managed by the Archer Support Tools and specific Windows services. When an administrator triggers a manual LDAP sync or a scheduled sync begins, the job is placed into a processing queue within the Archer database. If the status remains "QUEUED" and never progresses to "IN PROGRESS" or "COMPLETED," the primary culprit is almost always the underlying service responsible for picking up that task.
As detailed in the Archer Administration II technical troubleshooting modules, the Archer LDAP Synchronization Service (or in newer versions, the Archer Queuing/Job Engine service) must be in a
"Started" state on the web or application server to process these requests. If the service is stopped, hung, or crashed, the job will sit in the queue indefinitely. While network connections (Option C) and configuration settings (Option A) are important, they typically result in an "FAILED" status with an error log rather than a
"QUEUED" status. Restarting the entire server (Option B) is an inefficient "last resort" that doesn't address the specific root cause as directly as verifying the service status in the Services console.
NEW QUESTION # 43
Which statement is NOT true regarding Bulk Update of Advanced Workflow jobs?
- A. If there are workflow jobs in progress, you will receive a warning which tells you how many jobs may be affected by this update.
- B. Making changes to a workflow can make existing jobs fail.
- C. Only one update job can be run at the same time.
- D. Bulk update jobs will automatically skip records enrolled in a workflow but already in an error state.
Answer: D
Explanation:
The Bulk Update Jobs feature is used to migrate active records from one version of an Advanced Workflow (AWF) to another. As taught in Advanced Workflow Beyond the Basics , Archer is designed to be cautious but thorough. Statement A is NOT true because the Bulk Update process actually attempts to evaluate all records targeted for migration. If a record is in an error state, the Bulk Update tool provides an opportunity to see if the new workflow version can resolve that state or if it remains "Incompatible." Statements B, C, and D are all accurate reflections of the platform's behavior. Archer will indeed warn you about the volume of affected records (B), and the system enforces a "one-at-a-time" rule for Bulk Updates (C) to prevent database deadlocks and performance spikes. Furthermore, it is a known risk (D) that structural changes (like deleting a node where records currently reside) can cause those specific jobs to fail during or after an update. Therefore, administrators must use the "Compatibility" check within the Bulk Update interface to identify and resolve these issues before finalizing the migration.
NEW QUESTION # 44
What is the first step in creating a calculated field?
- A. Validating your formula
- B. Creating a User/Groups List field
- C. Enable the calculated field option from the field's properties
- D. Writing the calculation formula in Archer
Answer: C
Explanation:
In the Archer platform, a "Calculated Field" is not a separate field type you select from the initial list (like Text or Date). Instead, almost any standard field type can be transformed into a calculated one. According to the Archer Administration II curriculum, the foundational step is to create the field first and then go into the field's General Tab properties to check the box labeled "Calculate its value." Once this option is enabled, the "Formula" and "Calculation Properties" tabs appear, allowing the administrator to define the logic. You cannot write a formula (Option A) or validate it (Option D) until the field has been designated as a calculated field. Option C is irrelevant as a "first step," as calculations can be applied to many field types, not just User/Groups lists. By enabling the calculation property first, you signal to the Archer Calculation Engine that this field's value will be managed by the system rather than by manual user input.
NEW QUESTION # 45
Which service must be installed and enabled on all Web and Services Servers?
- A. Archer Configuration Service
- B. Archer Queuing Service
- C. Archer Core Service
- D. Archer Workflow Service
Answer: A
Explanation:
In a distributed (multi-host) Archer environment, the Archer Configuration Service is the most critical underlying component that must exist on every server in the web and services tiers. As taught in Archer Administration II , this service is responsible for "registering" the server with the Archer Control Panel (ACP) .
The Configuration Service allows the central ACP to communicate with each node in the cluster to manage settings, update the nlog.config files, and ensure that all servers are using the correct database connection strings. While the Queuing Service (Option C) might only reside on the Services server, and the Workflow Service (Option B) is specific to AWF tasks, the Configuration Service is the "heartbeat" that connects any given Archer server to the instance's central management framework. If this service is stopped on a web server, that server will effectively become "orphaned" and will not be able to process user requests correctly or receive updates from the ACP.
NEW QUESTION # 46
When executing an advanced search, some fields appear as available for selection, and some fields are automatically selected for you in the "Fields to Display" Pane. If you are looking for a field in the Available list, but do not see it, which of the following field configurations is likely to be in effect?
- A. "Display this field in global search results" option is enabled for the field.
- B. "Make this the key field" option is selected for the field.
- C. "Make This a Searchable Field" Option is disabled for this field.
- D. "Display advanced formatting options" option is enabled for the field.
Answer: C
Explanation:
In Archer, not every field created in an application is automatically indexed for searching. Within the Field Properties (General Tab), there is a checkbox titled "Searchable." As taught in Archer Administration II , if this option is unchecked, the field will be invisible to the Advanced Search tool.
This is often done by administrators to improve system performance or to hide technical "helper" fields (like those used in calculations or DDEs) that have no business value for end-user reporting. If a field is missing from the "Available" list in the search builder, the administrator must go back to the Application Builder, edit the field's properties, and ensure the "Searchable" checkbox is enabled. Option B (Key Field) would actually make the field more prominent, and Options C and D do not control the visibility of fields within the Advanced Search interface.
NEW QUESTION # 47
Which information is NOT logged to the Data-Driven Event Analyzer?
- A. The name of the fields evaluated in each rule.
- B. The true or false result of each individual filter condition in the rule.
- C. Any corresponding actions that were applied as a result of the overall rule evaluating to true.
- D. The name of any rule that was evaluated.
Answer: B
Explanation:
The Data-Driven Event (DDE) Analyzer is a diagnostic tool used to see why certain UI changes (like hiding a field or making it required) occurred. As taught in the Archer Administration II troubleshooting module, the Analyzer provides a high-level summary of the DDE execution path. It will show the name of the rule (Option A), the fields involved (Option B), and the actions triggered (Option C).
However, it does not provide a granular, "Boolean-level" breakdown of every individual filter condition within a complex rule. If a rule has five different conditions joined by AND/OR logic, the Analyzer will tell you if the entire rule evaluated to True or False, but it will not specify the result of each individual condition (Option D). To see that level of detail, administrators often have to simplify the rule or use "Dummy Fields" for testing. Understanding this limitation is key to effectively using the Analyzer for debugging complex conditional layouts.
NEW QUESTION # 48
When importing data through the Data Import Wizard, if you choose the Import Type as "Update Existing Records", which of the following is true?
- A. Matching records will be updated and unmatched records will be added as new records.
- B. Matching records will be updated and unmatched records will be discarded.
- C. A number of the matching records will be updated.
- D. Matching records will be discarded and unmatched records will be added as new records.
Answer: B
