CSSA Review - Part 1

What is the purpose of the Enterprise Class Structure (ECS)?

• ECS provides a structure supporting rule reuse.

• ECS documents industry or enterprise standards that applications must contain.

• ECS references single-value properties and complex properties.

• ECS is used to alter the performance of the Pega Platform.

You have a requirement to create an email correspondence that can be reused by other applications. In which two layers of the Enterprise Class Structure could you apply the email correspondence rule? (Choose Two)

• Implementation

• Organization

• Pega Platform

• Division

Which layer of the Enterprise Class Structure (ECS) contains generalized assets that are then extended by specific implementations?

• Division

• Organization

• Framework

• Implementation

When creating a new ruleset version, what extra step must the system architect perform?

• Extra steps are unnecessary if the ruleset version is up to date.

• Rulesets cannot be versioned.

• Change the decision table item numbers.

• Lock the ruleset to prevent automatic versioning.

What is the importance of application versioning?

• Application versioning provides the ability to clone rules.

• Application versioning provides the ability to version data classes without impacting existing data classes.

• Application versioning provides a means to organize applications by priority.

• Application versioning preserves prior application versions.

What advantage does skimming provide over lock and roll as a versioning option?

• Skimming carries blocked rules forward. Lock and roll does not carry blocked rules forward.

• Skimming saves checked out rules. Lock and roll does not save checked out rules.

• Pega provides a skimming wizard but not a lock and roll wizard.

• Skimming is most efficient for major and minor updates. Lock and roll is most useful for patches.

• Rules in ClaimsFW can reference rules in Claims

• Rules in ClaimsFWInt can reference rules in ClaimsFW

The two application rulesets Claims and ClaimsInt are configured as Application Validation. Which of the following statements is false?

• Rules in ClaimsInt can reference rules in Claims

• Rules in MyCo can reference ryles in MyCoInt

• Ryles in MyCo can reference rules in Claims
