In Pega's data model, what is the effect of marking a property as 'required' in the data model versus using a Validate rule?
Answer: Validate rules only run on UI forms; data model constraints apply to all channels
Validate rules can be triggered at multiple points in any channel, while UI-level required flags apply specifically to form submission in the user interface.
A Pega architect needs to integrate with a legacy system that only supports flat file exchanges. Which Pega service type handles inbound flat file processing?
Answer: Service File
Service File rules in Pega handle inbound flat file processing, parsing delimited or fixed-width files to create or update case data.
Which Pega data page scope is appropriate for storing the currently logged-in user's profile data that should not be shared with other users?
Answer: Requestor
Requestor scope ties the data page to a single user's session, ensuring user-specific data like profiles are not shared across users.
In Pega, what is the purpose of the 'pyWorkPage' clipboard page?
Answer: It holds the data for the current work object (case) being processed
pyWorkPage is the primary clipboard page containing all properties of the current case instance being worked on in a Pega flow.
When a Pega connector call fails due to a network timeout, which Pega mechanism allows the integration to be automatically retried?
Answer: Robustness rules with retry policies on the connector
Robustness rules in Pega define retry counts and intervals for connector failures, enabling automatic recovery from transient network issues.
A Pega application stores customer orders with multiple line items, where each line item has quantity, SKU, and price. Which data structure models this correctly?
Answer: A Page List property where each page contains quantity, SKU, and price properties
A Page List provides a structured list of pages, each holding the full set of related line-item properties, which is the correct Pega pattern for repeating structured data.
In Pega, which integration approach is recommended when you need to write data back to an external system after a case reaches a specific stage?
Answer: Use a connector called from a Data Transform or Activity in the flow at that stage
Calling an outbound connector from a Data Transform or Activity within the flow at the appropriate stage is the standard Pega pattern for writing to external systems.
