CPSA Rules Configuration & Business Logic Implementation 2

Question 1

In Pega, which rule type is used to define a reusable calculation or transformation that can be invoked from multiple decision rules?

Accepted Answer

Function rule

Answer

Function rules in Pega encapsulate reusable Java-based logic or built-in functions that can be called from decision tables, decision trees, and other rules.

Question 2

Which Pega concept allows a class to inherit rules from multiple parent classes by specifying a class hierarchy?

Accepted Answer

Directed inheritance

Answer

Directed inheritance lets you specify an explicit parent class outside the normal pattern inheritance chain, allowing a class to inherit rules from a chosen class.

Question 3

A business analyst wants to apply a different discount rate based on customer tier WITHOUT writing code. Which rule type best supports this requirement?

Accepted Answer

Decision Table

Answer

Decision Tables allow business analysts to define condition-action mappings (like tier-based discounts) in a spreadsheet-like interface without code.

Question 4

In Pega's ruleset stack, if the same rule exists in two rulesets, which version takes precedence?

Accepted Answer

The rule in the ruleset listed highest in the stack

Answer

Pega searches the ruleset stack from top to bottom, so the rule in the highest-listed ruleset takes precedence.

Question 5

Which property mode should you use when a property value must be computed dynamically each time it is accessed rather than stored persistently?

Accepted Answer

Declare Expression (auto-calculated)

Answer

Declare Expression rules compute property values automatically when the source properties change, avoiding manual storage of derived data.
