Reporting Flashcards
What do functions allow you to do in regards to Pega reporting?
Allow you to calculate results derived from data in the database.
A sales manager runs weekly reports on how long it takes to prepare a car for customer delivery. Which type of report metrics apply to this report?
Business metrics, because how long it takes to prepare a car for customer delivery is not a metric based on a Pega Platform parameter.
What does BLOB stand for?
Binary Large Object
What is the BLOB?
A field where Pega data is stored for e.g. a user completes an action by clicking OK or Submit, Pega writes the case data to the BLOB field.
Why is case data stored in a BLOB column?
To provide greater flexibility and performance for case data.
Capable of storing unlimited amount of data.
Allows the data model of a case to change without impacting database storage
Allows an application to read or write the entire case at once
Why are properties exposed, or optimised, for reporting?
Exposing properties allows Pega to read the property value without decompressing the BLOB to extract the property value.
Which type of data is exposed by default?
Process metrics, such as the current stage or status, are exposed by default
