In Pega Robot Studio, an environment override allows developers to configure multiple deployment environments (such as test, staging, and production) using a single project. This helps you avoid creating separate projects for each environment and ensures consistent automation logic while dynamically switching between environment-specific settings at runtime.
According to the Pega Robotics System Design and Implementation Guide, section “Managing Environment Overrides and Multi-Environment Deployments”:
“Environment overrides provide a mechanism to define environment-specific configuration values for applications within a project.
For example, the same automation logic can be used for both test and production systems by creating separate environment override files — one for the test environment and one for the production environment — each specifying unique paths, credentials, or URLs for the corresponding system.”
Detailed Reasoning:
The HR system has different access points for test and production, which typically means different URLs or executable paths.
The automation logic (how the robot interacts with the HR application) remains identical; only the connection configuration changes.
Therefore, instead of creating multiple applications or modifying logic, you configure two environment override files — one for production and one for test — each defining environment-specific details such as:
Application path (for Windows adapters)
StartPage URL (for web adapters)
Credentials or runtime parameters
This allows a single automation project to adapt dynamically based on which environment override is active during deployment or testing.
Option Analysis:
A. Incorrect — A single override cannot contain two sets of environment details; each override corresponds to one environment.
B. Incorrect — Creating two applications increases complexity and redundancy; both would duplicate the same logic.
C. Incorrect — Adding both separate applications and overrides is unnecessary; overrides alone are sufficient for environment flexibility.
D. Correct — Two environment overrides (one for production, one for test) allow the same project and automation logic to function properly across both environments.
Therefore, the correct answer is D. Create two environment overrides for the HR System project: one override for production, and one for test.
