Q

The case type hierarchy in your insurance application consists of three case types: Claim (top level), Personal Injury (subcase type of Claim), and Emergency Care (subcase type of Personal Injury). In the Claim case type, a data transform sets the claim date and work urgency. To reduce maintenance, you do not want to set in each subcase the properties that were already set in the parent data transforms. However, you want to set work urgency to different values in each subcase type. What two configuration steps would you take to meet this requirement?

A

1 - Select the Call superclass data transform option in each of the subcase type data transforms.

(You select the Call superclass data transform option in the subcase type data transforms so that the values from the parent data transform can be used.)

2 - In each subcase type data transform, set the work urgency to the required value.

(Setting the work urgency in each subcase data transform overwrites the parent value if the superclass feature is used.)

Q

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 such as valet parking. The application totals the cost for any selected options and adds that amount to the total room cost to equal the grand total, which is displayed in a field. Which two of the following properties would you use as the target properties? (Choose Two)

A

1 - Total cost of options

(The option costs are added together to equal the target property — total cost of options.)

2 - Total cost for the hotel room

(Number of days is a source property for the total cost for hotel room calculation.)

35
Q

In a purchase order application, you have been asked to add an order total field that is used on multiple forms in the application. You want to make sure that whenever the input values change, the order total will change in all the forms.

What two reasons would you choose to use a declare expression rather than a data transform for calculating the value?

A

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

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

2 - When updating a property that is calculated, you do not need to identify every calculation that updates any of the source values and manually re-calculate them.

(When updating a property value calculated by a data transform, you must manually identify every calculation that updates any of the source values, and re-calculate them. There is no easy way to view the interdependency between calculations performed by data transforms.)

36
Q

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 as 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 improve performance, how can you reduce the number of calculations?

A

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.)

37
Q

When does data propagation occur?

A

When a case is created

(The data is only propagated on case creation. Subsequent changes are not propagated.)

38
Q

You have a purchase request case and want to spin off a supplier case for a new supplier. How can you copy data to the supplier case?

A

a data transform

(Use a data transform to copy data to a spin-off case.)

39
Q

Use __________ to sum a value in a child case and record the total value in the parent case.

A

a calculation

(A calculation is used to sum values of child cases and update a total value in the parent case.)

40
Q

Use __________ to conditionalize the logic to determine which data should be propagated.

A

a data transform

(Use a data transform if you need to specify conditional logic.)

41
Q

You need to fetch exchange rates that are updated on a daily basis from a web service and make them available in your application using a data page. Which scope would you select for the data page?

A

Node

(Use the node scope to share the page for all applications on the node.)

42
Q

You have a data page with customer data. The data page is configured to reload if it is older than one hour. Which of the following best describes when the data page will reload?

A

The data page reloads on the next access one hour after it was created.

(The data page is marked stale one hour after it was created and refreshed on next access.)

43
Q

You have configured a data page to look up customer data in a database table. The data source changes to a REST web service. Which of the following best describes the actions you should take to make sure your application uses the right data source?

A

Update the data page to change the data source information.

(You change the data page source. Your application code does not need to change.)

44
Q

Which of the following would be typical data stored in a local data source?

A

Delivery options

(A list of delivery options is a typical example of reference data that can be stored in a local data source.)

45
Q

In which types of UI control is reference data from the local data source typically used?

A

Drop-Down

(Drop-downs are used to select among a predefined set of options.)

46
Q

The External Database Table Class Mapping wizard creates a data class and a database table. How do you make this data available to your application?

A

Use a data page

(You set up one or more data pages for the data class created by the mapping wizard.)

47
Q

Which two use cases are a good use of reference data? (Choose Two)

A

1 - To access an external database

(Reference data is used to access an external database.)

2 - To provide a limited set of input values for a field

(Reference data defines permissible values for data fields.)

48
Q

Which variable in the assignment urgency calculation enables users to increment the service level urgency on a case-by-case basis?

A

.pyUrgencyAssignAdjust

(.pyUrgencyAssignAdjust is used to enable users to manually adjust the urgency of an assignment.)

49
Q

A service level agreement rule describes the following behavior:

The service level provides a four-hour initial delay. If the case urgency is set to 10 and the case reaches the assignment at 9 A.M. Monday, what is the assignment urgency at 12 P.M. Wednesday?

A

60

(The assignment urgency begins at 10. The urgency then increments to 30 when the assignment is ready at 1pm Monday. The urgency then increments to 40 when the goal interval ends at 9pm Monday. The urgency then increments to 60 when the deadline interval ends at 1pm Tuesday. The urgency does not increment again until 1pm Wednesday.)

50
Q

The goal milestone in a service level defines the amount of time _____________________.

A

in which the case or step should be completed

(The goal milestone is the amount of time in which the business would like the case or step completed.)

51
Q

2 - How will the correspondence be sent?

(You will determine the medium in which the correspondence will be sent.)

3 - When does the correspondence need to be sent?

(You will determine in the case when to send the correspondence.)

53
Q

Which two statements identify why you should automate correspondence? (Choose Two)

A

1 - Automating correspondence allows you to send timely communication.

(By automating when a correspondence should be sent, you can send it to users when they need it.)

2 - Automating correspondence allows for sending consistent information to users.

(By defining the correspondence in a case, you can be assured that correspondence is sent for every case.)

54
Q

In a new hire process, a hiring manager needs to be automatically notified by email, when a job application case reaches a Collect Work Sample assignment. How would you configure this correspondence requirement?

A

Enable assignment notifications for the case type.

(The system sends the email when the case reaches the assignment.)

55
Q

You are configuring a standard email to automatically be sent to loan applicants informing them that their loan has been approved. The requirement states that the email must include values for the applicant’s name, the loan office, and the loan amount. The email must also include boilerplate content stating the loan’s terms and conditions, which is regularly updated. This content is in a paragraph rule shared by other standard emails throughout the organization. How would you configure your email?

A

Insert applicant’s name, loan office, and loan amount properties. Also, insert the paragraph rule.

(The system adds the property values and inserts the paragraph rule content when the email is sent.)

56

Which one of the following routing approaches would you use?

A

Route requests to a work group that uses skill rating parameters for work group members.

(A request can be routed to a member who is skilled at appraising jewelry.)

58
Q

A home loan company has home appraisal offices in various regions. Each office has its own work queue. Company policy requires that home appraisals are assigned to offices based on the home’s location. For example, appraisals for homes located in Boston are assigned to the New England office work queue. Which routing approach would you choose to support this requirement?

A

Route the assignment to the correct work queue based on a decision rule.

(A decision rule can evaluate the home location as the decision criteria for routing to the correct work queue.)

59
Q

Select two benefits of adopting a rule delegation strategy. (Choose Two)

A

1 - Adopting a rule delegation strategy can help improve the business’ ability to adapt to changing business conditions.

(Enabling business users to manage changes to business policies on their own helps the business be more agile.)

2 - Adopting a rule delegation strategy enables business users and architects to focus on their specific tasks related to application development and maintenance.

(Enabling business users to manage changes to business policies on their own gives architects more time on architectural decisions and implementation strategies.)

60
Q

What two items should a developer configure before delegating a rule? (Choose Two)

A

1 - An Access Group that has access to the production ruleset

(Users must belong to an access group that includes the ruleset containing the delegated rules.)

2 - An unlocked ruleset added to the Application rule as a production ruleset

(You cannot make changes to a rule in a locked ruleset. Organizing the delegated rules in a separate ruleset insulates the rest of the application from frequent changes.)

61
Q

Conditional paths in a case life cycle are used to define ______________________. (Choose Two)

A

1 - paths in the case life cycle that are chosen by a user at run-time

(Manual decisions are performed by a user and are defined using multiple outgoing connectors emanating from an assignment.)

2 - paths in the case life cycle that are followed based on run-time values

(Automated decisions are defined by a set of one or more conditions to evaluate, and are frequently referred to as business logic.)

A

a process that executes over the same time period as other processes

(Processes that run concurrently are called parallel processes.)

63
Q

Automating decisions based on business logic enables ___________________________.

A

application users to focus on more nuanced decisions that require business expertise

(Recording and automating decisions based on business logic allows users to focus on more nuanced decisions that require human expertise.)

64
Q

In which of the following situations would you use a rule circumstance to resolve the requirement?

A

A national insurance company requires a different minimum for liability coverage in each state.

(Circumstancing allows you to create a targeted rule for each state, rather than one complex rule for all states.)

65
Q

An application change goes into effect on June 15, 2016. Due to this change, two fields are added to a user form to collect information for compliance purposes. Assuming that today is April 30, 2016, how should you configure circumstancing for the form?

A

Circumstance the form by property and date; specify June 15, 2016, as the start date.

(The circumstanced rule goes into effect on June 15th, 2016.)

66
Q

You are configuring a Confirm and Pay view that includes a payment type selection list. The following image shows the Credit Card Type selection list.

One of the payment options is PayPal. PayPal requires users to confirm order details on the PayPal website. How do you configure the link to PayPal to display only when users select PayPal as their payment option?

A

Configure a visible when condition expression for the PayPal link control.

(You can use a Boolean expression to determine visibility. The PayPal link is visible when the Credit Card Type = PayPal.)

72
Q

How do you configure an action set on a button to clear user selections and then review the previous actions on the case?

A

First, configure a Click event with a Refresh action. Next, add a View History action to the event.

(You can add several actions to one event.)

73
Q

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?

A

Use the cost center column to group the results.

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

74
Q

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?

A

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.)

75
Q

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?

A

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

(Using both conditions supports the requirement.)

76
Q

Select the three true statements about the use of a BLOB field. (Choose Three)

A

1 - A BLOB can store an object of any size.

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

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

(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 - A BLOB provides flexibility by avoiding the need for schema changes when the data model changes.

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

77
Q

Which type of data is exposed by default?

A

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.)

78
Q

A report contains five columns of data about sales quotes.

  • The case ID (.pyID)
  • The currently assigned sales representative (.pxAssignedOperatorID)
  • The creation date of the sales quote (.pxCreateDate)
  • The sales territory (.Territory)
  • The expiration data of the quote (.ExpiryDate)

Prior to property optimization, which two properties does the report identify as potentially impacting performance? (Choose Two)

A

1 - Expiration date (.ExpiryDate)

(.ExpiryDate is an item of business data.)

2 - Sales territory (.Territory)

(.Territory is an item of business data.)

79
Q

Which best describes the benefit of unit testing rules?

A

Unit testing identifies configuration issues that can propagate to other rules with potentially serious consequences.

(Unit testing allows a system architect to ensure a rule behaves as expected.)

80
Q

When unit testing a rule, you can identify a data transform to use during the test. What does the data transform do?

A

Provides initial values for properties used in rule evaluation.

(The data transform is used to provide initial values for properties used during rule evaluation.)

81
Q

You have created a test case for a decision table and verified the results. A few weeks later, another developer runs the test case again and the test fails. Changes to which two of the following configurations could have caused this result? (Choose Two)

A

1 - The input property values used in the decision table

(Input properties and their values are used in decision result assertions.)

2 - The return values used in the decision table

(Return values are used as expected results in decision result assertions.)

82
Q

The user enters a response on a form and clicks Submit. The Pega Platform application returns an error. Which tool can you use to determine the cause of the error in your application?

A

Use the Tracer tool, search for the first FAIL status, and see which step is causing the error.

(The Tracer tool will show you the step causing the error if you search for the first FAIL status.)

83
Q

The Tracer tool shows you a log of detailed information on your application. Select two methods you can use to limit the amount of information to the specific time when an error occurs. (Choose Two)

A

1 - Start the Tracer tool just prior to when the error occurs.

(Starting the Tracer tool just prior to the error occurring is a good way to limit the amount of information you need to search through.)

2 - Pause the Tracer tool until just prior to when the error occurs.

(Pausing the Tracer tool until just prior to when the error occurs is a good way to limit the amount of information you need to search through.)

84
Q

You would like to use the Tracer tool to debug an error in your application. In which portal can you use the Tracer tool?

A

Designer Studio

(You can only access the Tracer tool from Designer Studio.)
