Creating and Configuring an App SSA pt1

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

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

• 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. 

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

• Implementation

• Framework

• Organization

• Division

A claims application contains two organizational and two application rulesets.

The organizational rulesets MyCo and MyCoInt are configured as Ruleset Validation,

where the prerequisite for MyCo is MyCoInt

and the prerequisite for MyCoInt is Pega-Platform.

The two application rulesets Claims and ClaimsInt are configured as Application Validation.

Which of the following statements is false?

• Rules in MyCo can reference rules in MyCoInt

• Rules in Claims can reference rules in MyCo

• Rules in ClaimsInt can reference rules in Claims

• Rules in MyCo can reference rules in Claims

Answer explanation

When using Ruleset Validation, rulesets can only reference their prerequisites.

A claims framework contains two rulesets, ClaimsFW and ClaimsFWInt.

An application built on the framework also contains two rulesets, Claims and ClaimsInt.

Which statement is false if all the rulesets are configured as Application Validation?

• Rules in ClaimsFW can reference rules in Claims

• Rules in ClaimsInt can reference rules in Claims

• Rules in ClaimsFWInt can reference rules in ClaimsFW

• Rules in Claims can reference rules in ClaimsFW

Answer explanation

Rules using application validation cannot reference rulesets in applications built on the application.

Select two record types that are involved when configuring a production ruleset. (Choose Two)

• Operator

• Access group

• Application

• Work group

Answer explanation

Production rulesets are specified on the application and the access group.

The lock and roll versioning method ______________  and    ____________________. (Choose Two)

• is used for small changes or patches. 

• minimizes the rule data that is carried to a higher version of your application.

• ensures older versions of application rulesets are preserved unchanged.

• filters out rules that are unavailable for rule resolution.

Which description is most accurate for skimming and lock and roll versioning options?

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

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

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

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

Answer explanation

Blocked rules are carried forward in both methods.

Both skimming and lock and roll have wizards. Skimming is the process of saving the highest version of a rule into a new, higher ruleset version. In lock and roll, you must select the appropriate rules to copy into a new empty ruleset. Lock and roll is labor-intensive when used for major updates.

Why is application versioning important?

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

• Application versioning preserves prior application versions.

• Application versioning provides the ability to clone rules.

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

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

• Pega Platform

• Organization

• Division

Which two steps do you perform after you develop branch rules and before you merge a ruleset? (Choose Two)

• Check out rules to merge

• Review conflicts and warnings

• Use DB trace to identify conflicts

• Check in rules to merge

Answer explanation

Check in, review, and resolve conflicts related to merging rulesets before the merge.
