A Pega developer configures a flow to use a 'Router' assignment. What does the Router do?
Answer: Dynamically determines which operator or workbasket receives the assignment
A Router in Pega evaluates business logic at runtime to determine the correct operator or workbasket for an assignment.
In Pega, what is the recommended way to avoid duplicate processing when a case is triggered multiple times by the same external event?
Answer: Implement idempotent processing using a duplicate case check
Implementing a duplicate case check (idempotent pattern) ensures the same event does not create or advance a case more than once.
Which Pega feature enables different UI screens to be shown to different roles during the same assignment step?
Answer: Harness rules with role-based views
Pega harness rules can be configured to present different UI views based on the operator's role, ensuring role-appropriate screens during an assignment.
In Pega, when a subprocess is configured as 'Wait', which of the following is true about the parent case?
Answer: The parent case is paused until the subprocess completes
When a subprocess is configured with 'Wait', the parent case is blocked at that point until the subprocess finishes all its steps.
What is the function of the 'Commit' step type available in Pega automation flows?
Answer: Saves all pending database changes and releases locks
The Commit step in Pega automation flows saves all in-flight data changes to the database and releases any database locks held.
A Pega case flow needs to execute a step only on the first time the case enters a particular stage. Which approach correctly achieves this?
Answer: Set the step's condition to check a flag property set after the first execution
Using a When condition that checks a flag property (set to true after first run) ensures the step only executes during the initial visit to the stage.
In Pega, which statement correctly describes the behavior of a 'Ticket' in a flow?
Answer: A Ticket allows a flow to jump to a specific labeled point when a matching signal is raised
A Ticket in Pega acts as a named jump target; when the corresponding signal fires, the flow jumps directly to the Ticket shape, bypassing intermediate steps.
