Pega overview

What is Rule in Pega?
 Rules arethe building blocks of applications
 A Rule type is a concrete class derived from the Rule- baseclass.
 A Rule is a named object that defines the behavior of part of an application
 A Rule is a single instance of a class derived fromthe Rule- class
 Example: Rule-Obj-Property is a Rule Typeand a Property named User
Name is Rule
What is Case?
 A business transaction thatis initiated, processed, and resolved
 A case typically consists of assignments, processes, businesspolicies, and
potentially other cases
 A case is a instanceof a concrete class (Case Type) derived fromWork-
Cover- class
Example: Purchaserequest
What is Process?
 Process is represented as Flow in PRPC
 Process or Flow defines:
– How work items are created
– How they progress through oneor moreflow executions
– How they become resolved (completed)
 Example: Loan lending process

What is Class?
 Class is a container of Rules like Properties, Sections, Flow actions, Data
Transformand many other rules
 Many Rules apply to a specific class, and potentially to subclasses of that
Class
 Classes can be Abstract or Concrete
– AbstractClass is only a container of rules and data and cannot be
persisted in database
– Concrete Class contain rules and data and it can be instantiated and
persisted in database
– Concrete Classes may inherit froman AbstractClass
Class Hierarchy is a hierarchy for storing Rules and Data in PRPC
What is Rule Resolution?
 Rule resolution is internal search algorithm that the systemuses to find the
best or most appropriaterule
 This algorithm uses many factors like Rule Name, Applies To Class, Rule set
etc.,
Example: A property named FullAddress is present in Person Class and Location
Class. While capturing a person’s address information, systemwilluse FullAddress
property fromPerson Class.
What is Inheritance inPega:
 Inheritancedefines the association between classes
– Parent Class
– Sub-Class/Class
 Pega provides two types of Inheritance – Pattern and Directed

– Directed Inheritanceis defined by User
Pattern Inheritanceis enforced by the Systembased on Class Name
Class Hierarchy: Example
What is Ruleset inPega?
 Ruleset is a container of rules
 All rule type mustbelongs to a Ruleset.
 Purposeof ruleset as container is different
– Access Control
– Migration
– Versioning
 Ruleset is a bigger container than a class
Contains related classes and rules
