Please register yourself in pega developer network to get detailed answers. This is only to give a quick view to help analysts know what technical people are talking about.

Obj-Open method
Used to open an instance stored in the PegaRULES DB and save it as a clipboard page.

Obj-Browse method
Obj-Browse method is used to selects list of records based on some condition. In other words,it is used to  search instances of one class and copy the entire instances to the clipboard as an array of embedded pages.
Only properties exposed as columns can be used as selection criteria. However, values of properties that are not exposed as columns, including embedded properties, can be returned.
Obj-Open-By-Handle Method

Use the Obj-Open-By-Handle method only if you can determine the unique handle that permanently identifies which instance to open. We have have to pass the pzInskey  as a instance handle, this method will  open only  one record at time.

Obj-Save Method
Use this method to request that the system save a clipboard page to the PegaRULES database or (if the page belongs to an external class) an external database.

Property-Remove Method
Use this method to delete a property or properties and its associated value from the step page or another specified page. This does not affect the property, its definition.

Property Set method
The Property-Set method uses an array of parameters. Each row of the array contains a property name or reference (the destination), and a value (the source). Order is significant.

Page-Remove method
Use this method to delete one or more pages from the clipboard. The contents of the database are not affected.

Page-New method
Use the Page-New method to create a page on the clipboard. The new page may be a top-level page or an embedded page.

RDB-Save method
Use this method to save the contents of a clipboard page into a row of a relational database. The system saves the properties on the specified step page to the specified table in the database.


RDB-List
Use this method to retrieve rows from an external relational database and place the results as embedded pages in a specified step page of class Code-Pega-List.

21 tips to understand an AS-IS process

-
Learning the AS-IS process of a system is the first and foremost thing a person has to do while designing a solution to automate it. Here are few pointers on how to go about understanding it. Learn the basic end to end flow Know what are the data entry points Understand what happens to the data that enters a system The places where data are presented to the user The points where communication is send to the customer/user Make a list of systems that interact with the concerned application The different protocols (like SOAP) used to communicate between applications If there is a communication, the acknowledgements being sent/received if any The various validations that happen at various places within and outside the system Check for duplicate validations Make a list of manual interactions that take place in the process Figure out error prone areas- Tip: manual interactions are error prone Thoroughly understand exception handling situations What happens when one of the in...

Dealing with Integrations of systems

-
Most IT applications will involve some kind of integration with an external system. This external system can be a database or any other application. The communication between systems determines how well the overall system performs. Integrations are crucial links and help us leverage the capabilities of different systems effectively. But, these integration points are vulnerable and information can be lost if all possible scenarios are not addressed. There are basically 2 scenarios that happen when a request is placed to a system- Response (System responds) No response Response can be further broken down to- Positive Acknowledgement with Data Negative Acknowledgement with Data Data- Data can be send with any/both of the responses. Whenever, there is no response from a system, there is loss of data. To retrieve the data we may have to send another request. This is where exception scenarios come and they need to be defined. The following can help us defining the scen...

Using APIs in integrations

-
What is an API? An application program interface (API) is code that allows two software programs to communicate with each other. APIs expose features and services to developers.  Advantages Re-usability- The same API can be used by multiple applications. The APIs require the input in the right format and they will give the output as per the API contract. Hence, existing functionalities can be shared. Data Abstraction-Only the relevant details are shared (request and response). Data Encapsulation- Collection of features are grouped together to make an API.  Polymorphism- Depending on the request, the response can be varied. Maintenance – APIs are standalone entities and hence instead of enhancing or updating the individual applications that use the services, APIs can be updated and the necessary changes can be communicated to the consuming applications. Challenges APIs may undergo changes and update might be required. This will need ver...
