1Other common types of validation restrict the choices available to users. For example, developers can specify a [blank_start]Date/Time[blank_end] property type to ensure that users enter only a valid date, or determine that a property uses a [blank_start]drop-down list control[blank_end] to limit users to approved choices. In contrast, [blank_start]edit validate[blank_end] rules do not restrict the values that the user can enter; they validate based on the data format.
- ADate/Time
- Bdrop-down list control
- Cedit validate
2[blank_start]Edit validate[blank_end] rules are defined on properties, and not on [blank_start]activities or flow actions[blank_end]. They are used for [blank_start]client-side validation[blank_end], which means that the value users enter is validated immediately without referencing the server

29Designing a data model for [blank_start]reuse[blank_end] is one of the most critical areas in any software project. A well-designed data model has a [blank_start]synergistic effect[blank_end], the whole being more significant than the sum of its parts. In contrast, a poorly designed data model harms the [blank_start]quality[blank_end] and [blank_start]maintainability[blank_end] of an application.
- Areuse
- Bsynergistic effect
- Cquality
- Dmaintainability
30A temptation exists after a [blank_start]case type[blank_end] is created to define its [blank_start]life cycle[blank_end] [blank_start]immediately[blank_end]. You can rapidly develop [blank_start]case life cycles[blank_end] in [blank_start]App Studio[blank_end] with [blank_start]views[blank_end] that contain [blank_start]numerous properties[blank_end], everything defined at the [blank_start]case[blank_end] level. This approach becomes [blank_start]counter-productive[blank_end] due to the [blank_start]lack of reusable data classes[blank_end] and [blank_start]work pool-level properties[blank_end] shared with other cases. It takes hours to refactor and retest the code.
- Acase type
- Blife cycle
- Cimmediately
- Dcase life cycles
- EApp Studio
- Fviews
- Gnumerous properties
- Hcase
- Icounter-productive
- Jlack of reusable data classes
- Kwork pool-level properties
31It is best to start by [blank_start]grouping related properties[blank_end] using [blank_start]data classes[blank_end] containing [blank_start]the views to display those properties[blank_end]. Creating [blank_start]data classes[blank_end] promotes [blank_start]reuse across an application's case types[blank_end]. Data classes [blank_start]enhance[blank_end] and [blank_start]simplify[blank_end] application maintenance.
- Agrouping related properties
- Bdata classes
- Cthe views to display those properties
- Da data class
- Ereuse across an application's case types
- Fenhance
- Gsimplify
32One of the primary purposes of a case is to [blank_start]manage a specific set of data[blank_end]. [blank_start]Managing data[blank_end] is a different role than [blank_start]being the data[blank_end]. The primary purpose of data is to [blank_start]be used by one or more cases[blank_end].
- Amanage a specific set of data
- BManaging data
- Cbeing the data
- Dbe used by one or more cases
33In certain scenarios, you might want to define a case type with little or no [blank_start]life cycle or behaviour[blank_end], to use the case type primarily to [blank_start]store data locally[blank_end]. The case life cycle might consist of changing [blank_start]pyStatusWork[blank_end] from New to Open to Resolved-Completed. It could have a single assignment with a [blank_start]service-level agreement (SLA)[blank_end].
- Alife cycle or behaviour
- Bstore data locally
- CpyStatusWork
- Dservice-level agreement (SLA)
34For example, a Data-Warranty instance that contains [blank_start]static information[blank_end] (such as the terms and conditions of a product's warranty) is [blank_start]read-only[blank_end]. On the other hand, a Data-Warranty-Claim instance contains [blank_start]dynamically varying properties[blank_end] such as PurchaseDate, ClaimDate, ExpirationDate, and Expired. In the view that displays those additional properties, the first two are [blank_start]modifiable[blank_end]. In contrast, the second set of properties are [blank_start]calculated and read-only.[blank_end]
The sample Event Booking application also follows this pattern. The fields within an FSG-Data-Hotel instance are [blank_start]static[blank_end] from an Event case's perspective. In contrast, the fields within a RoomsRequest instance are [blank_start]dynamic[blank_end].
The data model for a case should also consider the ease with which customer data is [blank_start]propagated[blank_end] from one case to another. A [blank_start]field group[blank_end] can be populated immediately before the creation of a [blank_start]subcase or spin-off case[blank_end]. A field group used this way at minimum needs to be defined at the [blank_start]work pool class[blank_end] level. If the subcase or spin-off case is an [blank_start]extension[blank_end] of a case type component, the applies-to class for the field group needs to be [blank_start]more generic[blank_end], for example, Work-Cover-.- Adynamically varying properties
- Bstatic information
- Cread-only
- Dmodifiable
- Ecalculated and read-only.
- Fstatic
- Gdynamic
- Hpropagated
- Ifield group
- Jsubcase or spin-off case
- Kwork pool class
- Lextension
- Mmore generic
35One technique for developing an [blank_start]object model[blank_end] is to parse a document while extracting nouns and verbs. [blank_start]Nouns[blank_end] are taken as data types, and [blank_start]verbs[blank_end] are considered as processes. [blank_start]Processes[blank_end] can be a case type or something that occurs within a [blank_start]case type[blank_end]. Once nouns are identified, the [blank_start]data modelling[blank_end] job begins.

38Conceptual level in data modeling
At this level, the main stakeholders are [blank_start]Business, Client, and[blank_end] [blank_start]Subject Matter Expert (SME)[blank_end]. The purpose is to [blank_start]define the business terms and rules[blank_end]. Identify the [blank_start]data and how it flows in the process[blank_end]. The output of this conceptual level is a [blank_start]clear understanding of the data[blank_end] (and data type) that is required for [blank_start]fulfilling the business needs[blank_end].- ABusiness, Client, and

39Logical level in data modeling
At this level, the main stakeholders are [blank_start]Business Data Analyst and[blank_end] [blank_start]Data Architecture Expert[blank_end]. The Business Data Analyst's role is to clarify [blank_start]how and from where the data is collected[blank_end]. The role provides [blank_start]logical design[blank_end] and [blank_start]data collection decisions[blank_end] in the context of [blank_start]business needs, terms, and policies[blank_end]. The Data Architecture Expert role [blank_start]identifies the relationship[blank_end] between [blank_start]data types (define keys)[blank_end], the reuse layer in which to place the data types ([blank_start]Org layer or specific layer[blank_end]), the [blank_start]inheritance path[blank_end] for the data.- ABusiness Data Analyst and

40Physical level in data modeling
At this level, the main stakeholders are [blank_start]DBAs, Developers,[blank_end] and the other [blank_start]client architects who are SMEs for SOR[blank_end]. DBA will create [blank_start]physical data base table[blank_end] as per the guidance given by developer or SME. It is a [blank_start]collaborative[blank_end] work. The purpose is to [blank_start]finalize the implementation methodology[blank_end] for data elements. The logical design takes a [blank_start]physical[blank_end] form at this level.
Create the [blank_start]required data classes[blank_end] in Pega mapping to the [blank_start]Pega Database tables[blank_end] or external Database tables. if required create the connector to [blank_start]access the data from external systems[blank_end]. As an LSA specific to Pega, you also need to choose the [blank_start]appropriate schema[blank_end] for the given [blank_start]business requirement[blank_end]. Plan what must go into [blank_start]CustomerData and Pega DATA[blank_end]. Analyze the need to use [blank_start]Pega Reporting Database[blank_end] as well at this level.
[blank_start]Data formatting, calculations,[blank_end] and [blank_start]manipulations[blank_end] are completed at this level so that all data required for the business process is ready.- ADBAs, Developers,

42The newer [blank_start]CustomerData[blank_end] schema [blank_start]removed[blank_end] the requirement that a database table contains [blank_start]Pega-specific[blank_end] columns. Unlike the [blank_start]PegaData[blank_end] and [blank_start]PegaRules[blank_end] schema tables where [blank_start]pzInsKey[blank_end] must be the primary key, this schema table would never use it as the primary key. Since [blank_start]7.3[blank_end], Pega has a check box on the [blank_start]Rule-Obj-Class[blank_end] rule. When selected, Pega uses [blank_start]pyGUID[blank_end] as the primary key and automatically generates a value if the record being saved has not already [blank_start]received pyGUID a value[blank_end].

43The information within a “[blank_start]concrete[blank_end]” data class is meant to be [blank_start]persisted outside a case[blank_end]. It is [blank_start]permissible[blank_end] to copy concrete data into a case for [blank_start]historical data capture[blank_end]. When this copy occurs, the [blank_start]historical information[blank_end] is embedded within a case’s [blank_start]pzPvStream column, known as the BLOB[blank_end]. Historical data can also be stored outside a case [blank_start]BLOB[blank_end]. When this occurs, appending “-[blank_start]History[blank_end]” at the end of the data class name helps distinguish what the data class represents. There are benefits to storing data outside the BLOB from an [blank_start]inheritance and reporting[blank_end] standpoint instead of storing data within the BLOB then having to define a [blank_start]Declare Index[blank_end] to expose the data. The base of the Declare Index class would be Index-, not a Data-.

- Bpersisted outside a case
- Cpermissible
- Dhistorical data capture
- Ehistorical information
- FpzPvStream column, known as the BLOB
- GBLOB

44“[blank_start]Reference Data[blank_end]” is the name for a special type of data that, as the name implies, is persisted to be [blank_start]referenced[blank_end]. A possible use for Reference data is to populate the values for a [blank_start]drop-down list[blank_end]. In general, a Reference data class has [blank_start]no or very few references[blank_end] to other data instances.
- AReference Data
- Breferenced
- Cdrop-down list
- Dno or very few references
45From a packaging perspective, Reference data can be considered [blank_start]“atomic,” “self-contained,”[blank_end] [blank_start]“encapsulated,” or “dead-ended.”[blank_end] The network of data instances that reference each other can be packaged as a whole, then deployed to a different environment, initializing that environment before executing an application. An example of a [blank_start]network packageable, dead-ended[blank_end] data instance is FSG-Data-Address referencing FSG-Data-Location, which references FSG-Data-Contact. A [blank_start]Location[blank_end] is [blank_start]static[blank_end] information. A Location can be created at any time before it is used. Multiple Booking application BookEvent cases can reference the same FSG-Data-Venue instance. That Venue instance is then stored in the same [blank_start]CustomerData[blank_end] schema table as any other FSG-Data-Location instance.
- A“atomic,” “self-contained,”
- B“encapsulated,” or “dead-ended.”
- Cnetwork packageable, dead-ended
- DLocation
- Estatic
- FCustomerData
46An entire Reference Data instance should not be copied and persisted within a case’s BLOB unless there is a requirement
- ATrue
- BFalse
47An enterprise-level data class has multiple instances that can be selected from a data page-sourced repeating grid. The class and ruleset in which the class is defined needs to include a data transform that adds an instance to a list. For extensibility, which two of the following solutions could be implemented? (Choose Two)
- AA Lookup data page that returns the class of the page according to the application that adds to the list.
- BProvide a uniquely named, embedded-list property applied to @baseclass that collects the same class.
- CCreate a class with the -Extension appended to the data class name. Save the data transform to that class.
- DA Lookup data page that returns the name of page to use when appending to .pxResults().
48In which one of the following situations is data locking required?
- AWhen a case property uses the Data Page Snapshot pattern.
- BWhen initially saving a record to a custom queue table.
- CWhen ensuring the integrity of a custom queue table.
- DWhen the Allow locking check box is selected within a data class rule and an instance of the data class is opened.
49Which two hierarchy types are applicable to object-oriented programing inheritance? (Choose Two)
- AProgrammatic
- BSubsumptive
- CCompositional
- DLayer-based
50Which one of the following options is characteristic of a dependency tree?
- AA level can only reference the previous level.
- BCircular references are not allowed within a level.
- CLayers are synonymous with unique contiguous sets of levels.
- DThe number of items in a level tends to decrease as the level increases.
51Which two of the following options are ways of versioning data? (Choose Two)
- AAdd a property such as an as-of date or monotonically increasing version. Filter based on values.
- BDefine report definitions with subreports that filter on MAX pxUpdateTime.
- CWhen deploying data, remove existing instances first.
- DDefine a custom rule.
52Which two of the following considerations are part of designing a data model? (Choose Two)
- AOrganizing the data
- BPerforming actions on the data
- CArchiving the data
- DManaging the data storage
53Which three of the following options make up the three-level data modeling approach? (Choose Three)
- ALogical
- BFlexible
- CPhysical
- DConceptual
- EExtensible
54An [blank_start]Enterprise Service Bus, or ESB[blank_end], defines an [blank_start]integration data model[blank_end] that every server on the bus must be able to send and receive. Each server can have its own [blank_start]internal data model[blank_end]. This eliminates each server having to develop its own outgoing mapping logic to send to a different server, plus develop its own incoming mapping logic to receive responses from that server.
- AEnterprise Service Bus, or ESB
- Bintegration data model
- Cinternal data model
55In a situation where an [blank_start]ESB[blank_end] is used, the Pega development team does not define the [blank_start]canonical data model[blank_end]. However, the team may maintain the mapping between the [blank_start]canonical[blank_end] data model and the [blank_start]foundation[blank_end] data model.
- AESB
- Bcanonical data model
- Cfoundation
- Dcanonical
56The best practice is for the Pega development team to [blank_start]leverage and extend[blank_end] the [blank_start]foundation data model[blank_end] as needed. All mappings of the [blank_start]external SOR properties[blank_end] to the properties in the [blank_start]Pega foundation data model[blank_end] should be done by the Pega development team within the [blank_start]Pega application[blank_end] using [blank_start]data pages[blank_end].
- Afoundation data model
- Bleverage and extend
- Cexternal SOR properties
- DPega foundation data model
- EPega application
- Fdata pages
57Pega industry frameworks do not force the consumer of its data models to use intermediary, [blank_start]many-to-many association classes[blank_end]. Instead, in true [blank_start]Separation of Concerns (SoC)[blank_end] fashion, Pega industry frameworks hide many-to-many relationship complexity by having data consumers reference [blank_start]appropriately named and[blank_end] [blank_start]parameterized[blank_end] [blank_start]data pages[blank_end].

58If the [blank_start]data mapping[blank_end] is not recorded, it may be difficult or impossible for another team maintaining the model to [blank_start]reverse the mapping if necessary[blank_end]. A [blank_start]data dictionary[blank_end] is especially important if [blank_start]two or more[blank_end] source data items map to one output data item (this type of relationship is called [blank_start]surjection[blank_end]). For instance, the same type of information exists in two different paths within the integration data model. Encourage your development team to [blank_start]document[blank_end] the meaning and proper use of data model properties.

59The development of a Pega application parallel to the development of an [blank_start]Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)[blank_end] or another form of integration to a legacy system is common. The integration data model has its unique [blank_start]internal dependencies[blank_end]. The mapping code depends on the current state of the [blank_start]integration data model[blank_end] for conversion to the [blank_start]business logic data model[blank_end]. Even after an application is placed into production, these internal dependencies might change.
Mapping code acts as an [blank_start]insulator[blank_end] between the business data model, which is subject to change, and the integration data model, which is also subject to change. This structure is also known as [blank_start]loose coupling[blank_end].
To deal with changes to integration data models, generate the models with new integration base classes such as [blank_start]<Org>-Int-<service,v2, v3>[blank_end].
Note that the new data model may create [blank_start]code redundancy[blank_end]. This issue is quickly addressed by generating the mapping code into a [blank_start]different ruleset[blank_end]. Over time, when there is no need to return to a previous ruleset, you can remove the ruleset from the application definition. Ideally, you remove the unused ruleset when [blank_start]versioning[blank_end] the [blank_start]application[blank_end].
Changes to the integration root classes need to be accounted for. Use [blank_start]dynamic class referencing[blank_end] to accommodate those changes. Because data pages support when conditions, you can use those conditions to determine which integration version to use based on the application version. You can also use a [blank_start]Data-Admin-System-Setting[blank_end] value to a data page to accommodate the interface data model change.- AEnterprise Service Bus (ESB)

- BMaintaining a data dictionary is a wasteful use of team resources.
- CLeveraging a Center of Excellence (COE) can ensure consistent implementation of the industry foundation data model.

63At a certain point in its life cycle, a case is required to capture the list of data instances viewed by the user, from which one data instance was selected. The data instance would be classified as reference data - values associated with a unique key that rarely, if ever, changes. What is the best way to implement this requirement in a Pega application, taking into consideration performance and extensibility?
- ADefine a report definition that uses the Reference pattern against a database view.
- BDefine a Link class with two keys, one pointing to the reference data instance, the other pointing to the case.
- CDefine a data page using the Snapshot pattern to copy the list. Define a Declare Index that creates a separate database table.
- DDefine a data page using the Reference pattern. Populate a field group list with the keys to the reference data instances.
64What are two ways to minimize or avoid data integrity issues? (Choose Two)
- AFollow the single source of truth principle (SSOT).
- BDo not persist values that are derivable, such as counts and categorizations, and that are subject to change.
- CStore critical data within multiple tables to prevent data loss.
- DAvoid using properties that represent a version or as-of-date.
65Which one of the following statements best describes data model design?
- AIt is a discussion about organizing and designing the data
- BIt is a discussion about operations performed on the data.
- CIt is a discussion about designing the data, but not organizing the data.
- DIt is a discussion about operations performed on the data while working on a case.

- APersisting a derived value, such as a date-dependent historical price, is acceptable for performance reasons provided that it is reproducible.
- BEvery data class should be defined at the Enterprise layer under Org-Data-, then extended to higher layers.
- CA reference data class must not possess a BLOB column.
- DReference data must be embedded within a case’s BLOB.
68What are two key benefits of using a Pega industry foundation data model? (Choose Two)
- AThe industry foundation data model can replace the customer’s data model.
- BProvides a robust starting point for data properties and classes.
- CThe industry foundation provides data pages that separate business logic from the source of the data (interface).
- DThe industry foundation provides data pages that consolidate both business logic and the source of the data (interface).
69Greenfield Data Modelling follows the three-level approach. What is the order of applying this three-level approach?
- ALogical, Conceptual, Physical
- BLogical, Physical, Conceptual
- CPhysical, Conceptual, Logical
- DConceptual, Logical, Physical

- BUse a custom rule.
- CDeclare the data class as abstract.
- DUse a data class with an As-Of date property.
- EUse a data class with a version property.
71Which two statements about Declare OnChange rules are true? (Choose Two)
- AIf you are watching multiple properties, an OnChange activity runs only once if two or more properties change.
- BAn activity is not automatically executed when the specified property changes
- CAll processing of a work item can be suspended using Declare OnChange rules.
- DIn a Declare OnChange rule, a when condition based on a Boolean result can call only one activity.
72A [blank_start]Declare OnChange[blank_end] rule automatically [blank_start]executes an activity[blank_end] [blank_start]or suspends the current work object[blank_end], when the value of a specified property changes. If a Declare OnChange rule is used to suspend work, the when condition is called a [blank_start]business exception[blank_end]. [blank_start]No other rules explicitly reference[blank_end] Declare OnChange rules.
Declare OnChange rules allow you to specify a when condition to [blank_start]test one or more property values[blank_end] and run [blank_start]different activities[blank_end] based on a [blank_start]true or false result[blank_end] for the condition. With a Declare OnChange rule, when conditions are evaluated [blank_start]at the time a property value changes[blank_end].
[blank_start]Properties To Watch[blank_end]
This [blank_start]array[blank_end] identifies properties that the rule tracks. Order is [blank_start]not significant[blank_end]. Enter the desired property references. Each property entered is monitored for changes. Identify a property on the [blank_start]top-level page[blank_end] or a page that is identified by the [blank_start]Page Context field[blank_end] on the [blank_start]Pages & Classes tab[blank_end]. Some restrictions apply:
If you list more than one property, the properties [blank_start]must be on the same page[blank_end].
If you list more than one property, when two or more of the properties change value (for example, within a [blank_start]single step of an activity[blank_end]), this OnChange activity runs [blank_start]only once[blank_end].
Conditions
Configure conditions for evaluating the Declare OnChange rule in this section by specifiying a [blank_start]simple expression or[blank_end] a [blank_start]when rule[blank_end] to evaluate and selecting the action to take.By default, [blank_start]no conditions apply[blank_end].
Select from two actions when any of the specified properties change:
[blank_start]Call activity[blank_end]: Choose an activity with an Activity Type of [blank_start]OnChange[blank_end]. If the activity has input parameters, click Parameters to [blank_start]supply values[blank_end] for them.
[blank_start]Suspend work object[blank_end]: Declare OnChange rules can force all processing on a work item to be suspended [blank_start]pending an independent review[blank_end] of the situation by using [blank_start]one or more flows[blank_end] to [blank_start]support the independent reviews[blank_end].
You enter the activity either under [blank_start]When True Run[blank_end] or [blank_start]When False Run[blank_end].
OnChange activities could have [blank_start]performance implications[blank_end] if the properties to watch [blank_start]change frequently[blank_end]. Consider adding when conditions and designing the action activity to complete within [blank_start]agreed upon performance thresholds[blank_end].- ADeclare OnChange

- BTo replace a declare expression.
- CWhen you have performance issues.
- DWhen an unexpected business exception occurs.
74Creating [blank_start]Declare OnChange rules[blank_end] to run [blank_start]an activity[blank_end] automatically when the value of [blank_start]a specified property[blank_end] changes, is a form of [blank_start]automatic forward chaining[blank_end].

75Relevant records are rules that are [blank_start]marked for reuse[blank_end] [blank_start]automatically by Pega[blank_end] or [blank_start]manually by application developers[blank_end] in Dev Studio. This makes them accessible in [blank_start]App Studio[blank_end]. Using relevant records during application development [blank_start]improves application quality[blank_end] [blank_start]and reduces development time[blank_end].
When you create records in App Studio, Pega Platform [blank_start]automatically[blank_end] marks the records [blank_start]as relevant[blank_end]. For example, Pega Platform automatically marks [blank_start]fields, views, and processes[blank_end] as relevant records when you create them in a [blank_start]case type or data type[blank_end]. You can manually mark a rule as a relevant record by selecting [blank_start]Mark as relevant record[blank_end] from the Actions menu in the rule header.
You can manually mark the following rule types as relevant records:
Properties
Sections
Harnesses
Paragraphs
Correspondences
Service Level Agreements
Flows
Flow actions
Data transforms
Decision tables
Proposition filters
Note: Proposition filter rules require that all [blank_start]properties, strategies, and when rules[blank_end] used as [blank_start]filter conditions[blank_end] are marked as relevant records for your [blank_start]primary context class[blank_end], which by default is the [blank_start]Customer[blank_end] class.
In Dev Studio, you can display relevant records that are [blank_start]active for a class[blank_end] from the [blank_start]Relevant Records landing page[blank_end]. You then enter a [blank_start]class of a case type or data type[blank_end] in the Class Name field. By default, Pega Platform displays [blank_start]currently active[blank_end] relevant records. You can also mark records as [blank_start]inactive[blank_end], therebty [blank_start]narrowing down[blank_end] the list of relevant records to suit the [blank_start]context best[blank_end], without the need to [blank_start]delete any records[blank_end] from your application. Selecting the [blank_start]Show inactive relevant records[blank_end] for the class check box displays the inactive relevant records.
Relevant records can [blank_start]inherit through the class hierarchy[blank_end]. Selecting the [blank_start]Show inherited relevant records[blank_end] for the class lets you view relevant records that are inherited through the class hierarchy. You can use the Actions icon to mark a record as [blank_start]active or inactive for a specific class[blank_end], and then select an option that meets your need. For example, select [blank_start]Mark active for current class[blank_end]. The [blank_start]Marked relevant at[blank_end] column shows at which class level the particular record is marked relevant.- Amarked for reuse
