Data Integration & Case Management Flashcards

Which tool in App Studio gives a developer a single view of an application's data objects, their systems of record, and associated data pages?

Answer: Integration Designer (Data Designer)

The Integration/Data Designer shows data objects, their sources, and the systems of record they connect to.

Which rule type does Pega generate when a developer uses the wizard to call an external RESTful web service?

Answer: Connect-REST

Connect-REST rules let Pega act as a client calling an external REST service, whereas Service-REST exposes Pega to callers.

Why does Pega recommend separating integration classes from the application's data classes?

Answer: So changes to an external system's interface affect only the integration layer and mappings, not the application

Layering isolates the application from external interface changes, which only require mapping updates.

An external system of record is not available yet during development. How can developers still build and test views that depend on its data page?

Answer: Simulate the data source for the data page

Pega lets you simulate a data source so development continues until the real integration is ready.

Where should credentials such as a username and password for a REST connector be stored?

Answer: In an authentication profile referenced by the connector

Authentication profiles securely hold credentials and authentication settings that connectors reference.

A small list of delivery options is maintained by business users and is not stored in any external system. What is the best data source?

Answer: Local data storage for the data type

Local data storage keeps simple reference data in Pega where business users can maintain it.

By default, which data transform does Pega use to handle errors returned when a data page loads from a data source?

Answer: pxErrorHandlingTemplate

Data page sources can invoke pxErrorHandlingTemplate to detect and handle source errors.
