What will occur if the name and data type of a Data Item do not match the Environment Variable?

If the name and data type of a Data Item do not match the corresponding Environment Variable, the Data Item will fail to set exposure. This means that the environment variable is unable to properly interact with the data item, which prevents it from being accessed or utilized as intended during the execution of the process.

In Blue Prism, environment variables are used to share data across different environments, and their compatibility with the data items is crucial for successful automation. When there is a mismatch in the name or data type, the application cannot correctly assign the value of the environment variable to the data item, leading to an inability to expose it for use in the process. Therefore, this mismatch does not just result in a benign situation; it actively disrupts the flow of data and can hinder the intended automation tasks.

This is why it's vital to ensure that both the name and data type of Data Items match those of their corresponding Environment Variables, as this is essential for successful data handling in the automation process.
