Answer 41

1 - To update the calculation, you only update one rule making the application easier to maintain.

(When updating a data transform you must update the rules wherever it is used in the application. There is no easy way to view the interdependency between calculations performed by data transforms.)

2 - The system monitors input properties and determines when to update the target property value.

(The data transform is explicitly called in a business decision. Procedural rules determine when to run updates to a target value property.)

Question 42

You are configuring a declarative network that contains ELEVEN declare expressions, which are used to calculate the interest rate for a home mortgage. For example, the target value Property Tax Assessment is used a source value when calculating the Assessed Property Value. The declare expressions use target values from other expressions to calculate their target values. The field displaying the interest rate appears on the approval form. To reduce the number of calculations in order to optimize performance, how would you configure the declare expressions?

Answer 42

Specify backward chaining in the total interest rate declare expression.

(The total interest rate property will not be updated until the review form is opened. This approach avoids repeated, unnecessary calculations)

Question 43

You are designing a travel plan application. A hotel booking step displays a form in which users select a hotel and enter the number of days they are staying at the hotel. The form displays the total cost for the hotel room. The form also includes fields for selecting, at extra cost, options for valet parking.

However, in order to qualify, two conditions must be met. First, the user must be older than 25. Second, the user has not received a traffic violation in three years or more. If both conditions are not met and the check box is selected, an error appears when the form is submitted. What approach would you use in order to support this requirement?

Answer 91

Use a single validate rule to verify both of these conditions.

(A single validate rule can verify multiple conditions for the same field.)

Question 92

A requirement states that you must add a control that shows a list of book titles. The titles change on a daily basis. The book records are maintained on a database. The control must show the most current information. The organization schedules updates to the application on a weekly basis. Which configurations would you use?

Answer 92

Add a drop-down control and source the list using a data page.

(A dynamic list uses the most current information that is sourced from a data page.)

Question 93

A manager has requested a report that shows the purchase requests for each of the regional cost centers. The manager wants to organize the results so the cost center appears only once on the report and the requests are listed under cost center. How would you configure the report definition?

Answer 93

Use the cost center column to group the results.

(Cases associated with each cost center are grouped beneath each cost center heading.)

Question 94

A manager requests a report that contains the following columns: Create Date, Case ID, Create Operator, and Work Status. You must sort the Case ID values so the case with the highest ID value appears at the top of the list and descends in order. How would you design the report definition to support this requirement?

Answer 94

For the Case ID property, select Highest to Lowest sort type.

(The case with the highest value is the first row. The other rows descend numerically.)

Question 95

Your organization has a standard loan request report that contains columns for loan ID, loan officer, work status, and a loan creation date. A manager requests a report that includes only loans created in the previous quarter and do not have a status of New. How would you configure the report filter to support this requirement?

Answer 95

Create two conditions: Work Status does not equal New, AND Creation Date is equal to Previous Quarter.

(Using both conditions supports the requirement.)

Question 96

Complete the following true statements about the use of a BLOB field:

1 - A BLOB provides flexibility by avoiding the need for ________ changes when the data model changes.

2 - A BLOB allows an application to _____ or _____ an entire case in one database transaction.

3 - A BLOB can store an object of ____ _____.

Answer 96

1 - schema

(Changes to the data model of an application are reflected within the BLOB, and do not affect the database schema.)

2 - read or write

(Since a case is completely contained within a BLOB, the entire case can be written or read by accessing the BLOB column of a database table.)

3 - any size.

(A BLOB has unlimited storage capacity, bound only by the physical capacity of the database itself.)

Question 97

A top-level property is exposed in the table that contains the _____. An embedded property is exposed in a ________ table.

Answer 97

BLOB. different table.

(Embedded properties are exposed in a different table, rather than the table that contains the BLOB. This allows Pega to establish a separate content for each exposed embedded property.)

Question 98

Which type of data is exposed by default?

Answer 98

Process metrics, such as the current stage or status, are exposed by default.

(Process metrics, such as the current stage or status, are Pega-defined properties. Pega exposes process metrics automatically.)

Question 106

If you need to access a table in an external database with advanced SQL, such as a complex join or a stored procedure, you need to use __________.

Answer 106

a SQL connector

(SQL connectors are suitable for complex SQL queries.)

Question 107

In which order are rules and data instances applied for a connector?

1. Data Page/Activity
2. Data Transform (from application data structure to integration clipboard structure)
3. Mapping rule (from integration clipboard structure to format specified by the target service)
4. Connect rule
5. Data Transform (from integration clipboard structure to application data structure)
6. Mapping rule (from format received by the service to integration clipboard structure)

Answer 107

1, 2, 4, 3, 6, 5

(The mapping of the response happens before the data transform is applied.)

Question 108
