1. 1. What is Rule in Pega? § Rules arethe building blocks of applications § A Rule type is a concrete class derived from the Rule- baseclass. § A Rule is a named object that defines the behavior of part of an application § A Rule is a single instance of a class derived fromthe Rule- class § Example: Rule-Obj-Property is a Rule Typeand a Property named User Name is Rule What is Case? § A business transaction thatis initiated, processed, and resolved § A case typically consists of assignments, processes, businesspolicies, and potentially other cases § A case is a instanceof a concrete class (Case Type) derived fromWork- Cover- class Example: Purchaserequest What is Process? § Process is represented as Flow in PRPC § Process or Flow defines: – How work items are created – How they progress through oneor moreflow executions – How they become resolved (completed) § Example: Loan lending process
2. 2. What is Class? § Class is a container of Rules like Properties, Sections, Flow actions, Data Transformand many other rules § Many Rules apply to a specific class, and potentially to subclasses of that Class § Classes can be Abstract or Concrete – AbstractClass is only a container of rules and data and cannot be persisted in database – Concrete Class contain rules and data and it can be instantiated and persisted in database – Concrete Classes may inherit froman AbstractClass Class Hierarchy is a hierarchy for storing Rules and Data in PRPC What is Rule Resolution? § Rule resolution is internal search algorithm that the systemuses to find the best or most appropriaterule § This algorithm uses many factors like Rule Name, Applies To Class, Rule set etc., Example: A property named FullAddress is present in Person Class and Location Class. While capturing a person’s address information, systemwilluse FullAddress property fromPerson Class.

5. 5. Components – Header – Global access to the application via wizards, tools and landing pages – Explorer Panel – Organizesimilar actions and tools to keep architects focused and efficient o Provides navigation mechanismto access application records – Work Area – Main workspacefor architects – Developer Toolbar – Provides tools for debugging, performance analysis, and understanding how an application is built. Types of Explorers inDesigner Studio: Recent Explorer: § View, open and search the recent items opened in the Work Area. § Available as “Recent Items” in Header Case Explorer: § Reviews and updates the application’s casehierarchy § Replaces functionality in the Case Designer landing page Data Explorer: § Creates, modifies data object types and their associated data pages(Declare Pages). App Explorer: § Hierarchical view of the rules in the application stack § Application Explorer as in Pega 6.3 Records Explorer: § Explores both Data and Rule instances § Rules explorer in Pega 6.3
6. 6. Private Explorer: § Displays currently checked out rules by the operator. § Available as “My Checkouts” in Header Favourite Explorer: § View, edit and open favorite rules Pega Testing/Debugging &Performance Tools Overview: § Tracer : Debugging tool fully cross-browser and supports severalnew event types. § Clipboard : In-Memory allocation displays all pages and Made Cross browser and localizable § UI inspector : Analyzethe User Interfaceelements – Displays the application structurein the context of UI rules and elements by Hover over the UI item § Performance : Open PAL and now browser compatible § Alerts : View alert logs in readable format § InspectionPrefs : Enable/Disable the Declarativeand Field Value inspectors
